HIKING DAY at BUKIT KODIANG @ BUKIT MOK CUN , KEDAH

Bukit Kodiang also known as Bukit Mok Cun or Bukit Hantu is well-known recently for its panaromic scenic view of paddy field from high up the hill. It is located in a small rural area named Kodiang (Kampung Kodiang Lama), nearby Kodiang KTM station.

So what is so special with it?

Bukit Kodiang is one of the hill that you can have a look of a full view of paddy field high from the summit & the scenery is fabulous! The beautiful-ness is just out of description. Here is one of the hiking destination you should come if you are a nature lover.

If you are lucky enough, you can even witness the train passing through the middle of paddy fields.

Height: 140 meter (460 feet)

Time: Normally 20 to 45 minutes depends on personal fitness

Difficulty Level : 8.5/10

How to get there?

You can use waze "Bukit Kodiang" directly to reach here.

(I tried it and was brought to the correct place)

You can park your car on a parking lot just right before the entrance.

RM2 of parking fee is needed, but no one there to claim for us, so yeah we didn't pay for it.

Bukit Kodiang was right in front of us!

This is the entrance for car. A board with warning sign is there (HIGHLY DANGEROUS NOTICE)

Is it dangerous?

For a first timer, YES it is very dangerous.

While for those who are confident enough, NO WORRY, you still can go by your own as the trek is clear and also come with ropes tying everywhere, just make sure to be extra careful.

And for those with acrophobia, here is a good place for you to conquer your fear!

Starting of the trek is some muddy road with 60-75 degree steepness. After around 15-20 minutes of hiking, here comes the adventurous part. The trek comes with steepness of almost 90 degree and are mostly rocks and ropes to climb up. So basically, it is more of rock climbing rather than hiking. (HAHA)

Although the trek is short, but you will need good stamina and fitness to climb the hill as it requires quite good strength to pull yourself up with the rope & climb up the rocks. For safety measure, you can also get yourself a guide or someone with experiences to accompany with.

I went there with another 3 friends, all lacking of hiking experiences. We were lucky enough to join a group of locals, who guided us and waited for us on the whole journey. Thank you for that! It really helped building our confidence to reach the peak.
