On 20th June 2010, SALAM CLUB carried out a sweating and cool outdoor activity, hiking at Broga Hill.

This activity was initiated by the coordinator of “SALAM Fat Burn & Fitness Program” as one of the activity that can help to improve fitness level of the participants.  Broga hill was chosen as the best place to implement a hiking program for the first time due to its location and scenic view. Located at Semenyih, Broga hill is about 1.7 km in height and there are roughly three peeks which located quite near to each other.

After watching the sun rise and had their breakfast that they brought with them, the team hiked themselves down Broga Hill with full of satisfaction and great experience to share with others.
