The Beautiful Trails of Bukit Delima, Gelugor
The Elusive Elephant Rock
With 2 hours to kill on a hot late afternoon, I chose to head off to explore the vicinity of Bukit Delima. Bukit Delima is one of the many peaks dotting the hilly range running from Bukit Jambul (to the south) to Lebuhraya Thean Teik (to the north). It is one of my favourite green lung as one can spend hours getting “lost” in this area. Trails are wilder, criss crossing haphazardly (at least no order that I yet spot) and mostly devoid of soul, especially when you avoid the popular peaks (ie Bukit Hijau, Bukit Jambul, etc).
Trails are mostly marked (too many markings actually, both paint based and paper ones ) but I’ve yet to make sense of it. Instead when I’m here, what I usually do is to just randomly pick one and follow. Picked a paper trail dropped by FTAC this round, simply because it looked fresher.
