Popular for being a green oasis in the centre of two heavily industrialised areas (Petaling Jaya and Kuala Kumpur), the reserve has some easy hiking trails to navigate to its top, about 160 metres above the sea level. From the top, you get nice views of a Hindu Temple, and a large communications tower. There are benches to rest along the easily hiked trails. The land used to be a rubber estate, but it has now been reclaimed by the forest.
