Several hikers mentioned that you might spot birds inside one of the tunnels but don't be alarmed, and just keep walking.

At the peak, also known as 'Bukit Matt', you'll be able to enjoy a panoramic view of the Rawang Bypass, which took 12 years to construct, earning its title as the tallest highway in Malaysia.
Whether you choose to hike in the morning or evening, the viewpoint serves stunning backdrops

If you plan to head there, please make sure that you're fully vaccinated and are aware of the weather conditions, as you may need to walk through tunnels
If it rains, it can be extremely dangerous, so hikers strongly advise against it, as it can get flooded and become slippery. Basically, just be careful and don't get the place banned!
You can find plenty of detailed directions online, including here.
