One Step at a Time

Bukit Batu Putih/ Whitestone  Hill Tanjung Tuan Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan This one is pretty new to me. Some time ago, this hike went pretty viral and that’s how I got to know Batu Putih in Port Dickson. There are several other Batu Putihs around the country, but this is the one that came highly recommended.
