Towards the end of 2009 I went up Bukit Perahu / Bukit Ruhiang / St Veronica’s Hill in Tamparuli. However, I went late, only reached the halfway point as it was getting dark.

Started around 5.25pm, this is the signboard:

From the main road, the way up looks like this:

Even halfway up the view is already magnificent, like this photo of Jambatan Tamparuli I took after around 20 minutes of climbing:

The hill is used by Roman Catholics to do the Stations of the Cross, the 7th station (out of a total of 14) looks like this:

The view beyond:

I shall be back to finish the job.

It’s definitely a harder and longer climb than Bukit Padang. I think it’d take around 45 minutes to an hour to climb, although I saw a young man RUNNING up and down the hill in no time – the hill is surely his fitness equipment!

MrBokiu took a photo from the very top.
