Starting from trail head at end of Jalan Awana 23, we headed directly to Station 6 of Ah Pak San. Instead of trekking back to the base, we decided took a 30 minutes trek to Saga Hill and to find our way down from Saga Hill. The downhill trek from Saga Hill took about 30 minutes and the trail is very much steeper than APS trail. Ropes lined the steep trail to assist hikers. The downhill trail ended up in a flight of concrete staircase and a natural clear stream where one can sit back and relax. The place is neat and well maintained possibly due to less human
traffic. From here, there is a short trail leading to a metal staircase which ends at a T-junction of Jalan Saga 28 and Jalan Saga 22. Following Jalan Saga 22, we came to the main road, Jalan Taman Saga where took time to admire the fantastic KL skyline.
We only realize we were at Ampang, instead of Cheras, when we were told by a couple who coincidently stopped by to enquire where the Saga Trailhead is located. This solved the puzzle of our missing driver who was actually looking out for us at Taman Segar of Cheras. Noting that we were “lost”, the kind couple gave us a lift to Ampang Yong Tau Foo where we were eventually picked up.
