Undaunted by the drizzle, we proceeded to extend our trek up Wangsa Cheras Hill aka Ah Pak San to Saga Hill, as planned. At Station 5 (373m elevation), we took a left turn (right turn goes to the waterfall) and trek to Station 6 (387m elevation). From here there was a clear signboard showing the trail to Saga Peak (377m elevation). The trek time for 1.5km from Station 6 to Saga Peak was about 30 minutes while we took 2 hour to hike 2km from trail head to Station 6; totalling 2½hours for 3.5km trail.
The large clearing, before Saga Peak, was abuzz with activities: young kids running about, adults playing Tarzan and woman folk having a chit-chat session over hot morning tea as well as some people busy building more wooden shelters/tables/structures. There was a huge notice board (put up by Saga Hiking Group comprising residents from Taman Saga, Ampang) welcoming hikers to Saga Hilltop and advising them against smoking, rubbish dumping and hunting.
We spent some time relaxing here and trying out several fitness exercises before back trekking to Station 6 where we continued down hill using another trail that passes through the rubber plantation but ends at the same trail head at Wangsa Cheras. The distance covered was about the same at 3.5 km.
Overall, it was a good solid ½ day trek covering 7km.
