Hiking
The most obvious attraction of Broga Hill is the challenge it offers hikers. Every weekend, the trail is packed with fitness enthusiasts looking to conquer the steep incline in personal best times. The trail is suited to both novice hikers as well as more seasoned practitioners. It is just a question of speed and timing. If you are new to the hobby, just take it easy and enjoy a slow hike halfway up the hill to avoid over-exertion. Reinvigorate yourself with the fresh air and lush scenery.
Nature photography
Pack those tripods and test your nature photography skills with a host of nature’s “models”. There will be plenty of primates, reptiles and birds to provide captivating subjects. Many photography enthusiasts also make the effort to reach the summit of Broga Hill early to capture spectacular sunrise shots. Make the effort; it is a sight to behold. Get your camera settings right, and you will have a picture-perfect souvenir of your early morning climb.
Family picnic
Broga Hill is perfect for family picnics. Pack your favourite snacks and drinks, pick a spot, and just enjoy the tranquillity. It will be just as invigorating as a hike as you let the verdant greenery soak up the stress and pressure. Beware though, of thieving primates who know how to spot good grub and please make sure you clean up after your picnic.
If such activities sound appealing, imagine being able to do it regularly by having a home in the vicinity of Broga Hill.
