Bukit Dinding is a forested hill with published height of 291m[1] in Kuala Lumpur nestled in between Setiawangsa and Wangsa Maju. Officially recognized with a published height of 291 meters, data from the Kuala Lumpur Slope Information System (KULSIS) suggests a slightly higher elevation of 311 meters and 302 on Google Earth (2022).[2]
"Bukit Dinding"[3] in Malay language directly translates to "The Wall Hill" - referring to its steep, extreme gradients. The hill also behaves as a "wall" separating 2 suburbs of Wangsa Maju and Setiawangsa. For the locals, this hill is often described as the last remaining green lung between these highly dense suburbs. The hill has close proximity to Highland Tower and Bukit Antarabangsa, which are parts of the main Titiwangsa Range – infamous for their beauty as well as their notorious landslides.
