After months of job rejections, 24-year-olds Sevvitaa Baskaran and Vanessa Lim found comfort not in cafés or co-working spaces, but on the hills around the Klang Valley.

We speak to the founders about building friendship in the city, finding mental clarity outdoors, and how a simple hike can reshape life in Kuala Lumpur.
