My family and i went to the "Bukit Bendera" ( I don't know what is it English Name) last year.
I got tricked by the signboard there!!
I'm very excited when I saw the signboard on the hill showing that there is the "jambatan gantung" 2km away from the cable car!!
So, I told my family why not we go there and experience it.
It took a long time to walk the destination.
When we reached there, I realised that the entrance of the "jambatan gantung" had a notice board stated that the tourist have to pay to walk on the skybridge!!
Besides, we are required to wear sport shoes and with empty hands!!
But, all of us wore slippers and we're carrying drinks (it's a hot day).
Thus, we had no chance to walk on the bridge and enjoy the nature.
Sadly + dissapointed, we walked back 2 km again to the cable car pit stop.
We felt so tired when we finally reached back the pit stop after walking 4km total..
I felt bad because got tricked by the signboard as it didn't stated the fee require there.
Not only me got tricked, there was also a few tourist walked all the way to the skybridge and walked back to the pit stop because they were carrying things and wearing sandals.
So, here is the advice + details:
1) Ask the people there about the fee for the "jambatan gantung" and what you required to
where before you go into the cable car.
2) Besides, you also have to go there early to buy the tickets or else you have to but the next
day's ticket. Don't ever think that if you go there on around 12pm, you still manage to buy
ticket.. You're wrong!! There is no more ticket except for the trip around 6pm or 7pm.
p/s: the fee for the cable car is RM4 for adult.
3) There is nothing fun there. Most of the tourist go there (including me) just to have the
experience on the cable car.
4) The cable car is so hot. The weather also very hot. So, for those who do not want to walk on
the "jambatan gantung", better bring water!!
5) You have to stand on the cable car because there is only a number of limited seats for the
physically challenge people.
6) You are required to take another cable car when you reach half of the hill.
7) The cable car is very very pack.
8) The traffic there is terrible!! Hardly find a parking there because it is located at the housing
areas. So, you can park at AYER ITAM and take bus to there. But, make sure you go into the
right bus.
9) Must try the famous ASSAM LAKSA at AYER ITAM. It is located at the market.When you
see there is a lot of people there standing to wait for a place to sit and enjoy the delicious
ASSAM LAKSA..Then that is the place!!(It is located at the t-junction.)One bowl RM2.30
(subject to change).
10) You must also try the PUTTU PIRING/MAYAM there. The PUTTU PIRING/MAYAM
there is made by pandan juice. It is very tasty and cheap. One packet RM1 only( subject to
change).
So, better plan before you go.
