#favouriteitinerary #thingstodo #hiking For beginners and moderate hikers, Ketumbar Hill is a fantastic escape into nature. With two routes to choose from—an easier 2km trail and a slightly more challenging 3km path—it offers a rewarding yet manageable adventure. The trail is alive with wildlife—playful monkeys swinging above, curious wild boars in the distance, and the occasional leech lurking below. Insect repellent is a must, and if you’re hiking after rain, expect a slippery path where a hiking stick comes in handy. Despite the occasional challenge, the fresh air, lush greenery, and gentle inclines make this a fulfilling trek. Perfect for a morning workout or a weekend nature retreat!
