Trail Etiquette & Safety
Safety depends on route separation and shared responsibility
A better visit starts before you enter the trail. Choose the right route, bring enough water, stay aware, and respect the separation between hiking and MTB routes.
Enjoy Bukit Dinding without putting other people, wildlife, or the hill at unnecessary risk.
Emergency
Emergency: call 999
For emergencies, call 999 first. After the immediate risk is handled, report trail issues or incidents to the relevant authorities or FoBD where appropriate.
No-share trails
Safety depends on keeping activities separated.
Hikers and mountain bikers should not treat each other’s routes as shortcuts. Downhill riders can approach quickly, while hikers may be moving slowly, stopping, or looking at the trail underfoot. Staying on the right route protects everyone.
