About Bukit Tabur
In Gombak. Bukit Tabur is a narrow quartz ridge above the Klang Gates reservoir, about 30 minutes from the city. The views at sunrise and sunset over the reservoir and forested hills are some of the best in the Klang Valley, but the route has scrambling on all fours, rope sections and steep drops on both sides, and there have been fatal falls. It is not a beginner hike.
Since 1 April 2025 every hiker needs a permit applied for online through the Selangor Forestry Department's SeForest e-Permit system at least 48 hours ahead. The fee is RM5 per person and a registered guide is compulsory; hiking without a permit can bring a fine of up to RM30,000. The west trail takes about 3 to 6 hours return, the east trail about 1.5 to 2 hours to the top. Start at dawn and stay off the ridge in wet weather.
