Natural Wonders at Maxwell Hill, Taiping

I managed to go to check point 2 before it start drizzling . They had upgraded the washroom for clean and bright now

Great destination! Enjoyed the open trail and peaceful outdoor atmosphere.

Sadly the jeep ( Land Rover) was not in service as the road was being repaired due to landslide. So you could only walk/hike up the hill. We asked the locals, they said it need 3-4 hours to reached the summit. So do wear proper foot wear,walking sticks (if necessary) and towels as the tar road was steep and winding. For 1st timer, you are advised not to take the hiking trails, it was very challenging with steep and trecherous terrain, over tree roots, big rocks, small wooden bridge. We tried it and ended up U turn after 15-20minutes. and we were drenched in sweats. Hope can take the jeep on my next visit.

Very disappointed with Maxwell Hill administration. I checked their website for updates and drove all the way from Seremban with family only to be informed that the hill is closed for public due to landslide. When I asked why the website is not updated, the answer I got it was updated in their Facebook page. Will be opened to public don't know when in 2025. You should update your official webpage also la.

Wonderful experience. Total 14 kilometres to the peak. 3rd time here and 1st time hiking straight 10 kilometres. Took around 3 hours to reach up there. Used the road track. Also have jungle trail, mostly used by hikers who regularly come here. The road pathway was challenging as it keeps elevate. Based on my hike, there's a hut for every kilometre/checkpoint. Can have rest and continue the hike. Gets cold as you go up. Keep hearing the nature's music while hiking. The smell of the greens will keep you motivated. The jeep and homestay service are temporary closed. From what the locals say, they will operating back by this year. Good news. People you pass by were very friendly. Everyone greets you. Up there can witness the beauty of English and Malay architecture. There's also a big Hindu temple. Thank you Taiping municipal for taking care this place very neatly and maintaining the natural habitat over here.
