Bukit Broga - Calmness in My Heart


Hi guys. First and foremost, thanks for visiting this blog again. Today, we would like to share about a beautiful hill that has a magnificent and calming view from the top of it. It’s Bukit Broga or Broga Hill.


-credit-


Bukit Broga is a very suitable place for outdoor activities. Besides, for photographers, this hill is known as the morning paradise. You could take stunning picture effortlessly when the sun rises. Take a look at this picture.


-credit-


Of course, a place that promises a stunning morning scenery will also offers a beautiful sunset. This place is so peaceful. Most people like to go here in a big group because they can strengthen their relationship with each other but personally, I love to go here with a few close friends or perhaps with my loved one.


If you are planning to get to Bukit Broga, you could rent a taxi. You could a taxi from cities such as Kuala Lumpur, Shah Alam and Bangi. From there, by a taxi, Bukit Broga should be reachable.



Malaysia, Truly Asia.
