NEGERI SEMBILAN : JALAN BUKIT PUTUS & BAHAU

Have you ever been through Jalan Bukit Putus which is located between Kuala Pilah and Seremban.

During its heyday, Jalan Bukit Putus was the only road that could get you between Kuala Pilah and Seremban. It's dubbed "serpentine road" by locals for its infamous 32 twists and turns and is still used by cars and cyclists. 

The Bukit Putus road has a pretty rich history as in 1875, the area saw the legendary Yang Di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, Yam Tuan Amtah and his 4,000 men force take on British to fight back against colonial rule. 

The travel distance from my office in Petaling Jaya, Selangor to Bahau is 157 km and takes 2 hours 32 minutes.



I once had the experience of driving alone along Bukit Putus Road (sorry, I don't remember the exact year). I was on my way back to Kuala Lumpur after attending the Mechanical Engineering Technical Division meeting at the ERA Hotel at Bahau, Negeri Sembilan. It was before the new road was constructed. It was around 11.30 p.m and I was alone driving through the quite street at night. 




Town of Bahau

I've heard and read many horror stories about this Bukit Putus road. But I dared to continue driving in the dark, lonely night with no other cars except mine.

Thank God, I finally reached my destination without any scary interruptions.
