Just to introduce myself, my name is
Khor Phor Xiang, and most people call me
Phor Xiang. I am the F
ounder of So Hikers Malaysia.
Many people often ask me what So Hikers means. “SO” stands for “Step Outside.” We are a hiking community that helps many beginners take their first steps into hiking. Through this community, we also aim to encourage more people to live a healthier and more active lifestyle.
Our journey began in 2018, when we started organizing hiking activities under the name Fitness Xcellent. At that time, our main focus was on weight loss and fitness training, with hiking serving as a platform to help people move more, challenge themselves, and reconnect with nature.
As our community grew, so did our vision. In March 2023, we rebranded ourselves as So Hikers Malaysia, a name that represents togetherness, support, and meaningful connections. Our mission is to make hiking more accessible, especially for beginners, while inspiring more people to embrace a healthier and more active lifestyle.
The name So Hikers was born during a hike at Bukit Pau and Klang Gates Dam in March 2023.As we walked, climbed, and shared ideas along the trail, we began brainstorming a name that truly represented our spirit.Through that meaningful hike, together with Kay Du, Janness, and Olay, the name So Hikers finally came to life — symbolising not just hiking, but a shared journey, friendship, and a passion for an active lifestyle.
On 17 March 2024, we proudly celebrated our first anniversary at Bukit Sri Bintang. What started as a small idea became a powerful moment — 480 participants came together to hike, connect, and celebrate this milestone as one strong community.
This anniversary was not just a celebration of one year, but a reminder of why we started: to move together, grow together, and inspire more people to take their first step towards a healthier life.
Besides hiking, we also organize badminton, pickleball, fitness sessions, and many other sports activities. We always welcome new people to join us.
