Bukit Gasing is a hill and a green oasis covered by dense civilization that is located right at the border between Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur. The hill is famous by local residents for activities that get the lungs and heart working and sweat off any extra weight. Covering the area of over 100 hectares, Bukit Gasing consists of several hiking trails within the park that is available to suit all levels of energy and fitness. There was once a rubber plantation that was abandoned for 50 years because the course of nature has overtaken the hillsides to create a beautiful secondary forest that is filled with woody herbs and large tropical trees.
