One of the stops along the way is in the quaint village of Dabong, about 155 kilometers from Kota Bharu, the state capital. Dabong lies in the area dedicated as Mt.Stong State Park (formerly called Jelawang Jungle) and is situated on the fringes of Malaysia’s massive Titiwangsa range.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaI-Qg2kVfEiy1UQwyuZLMidGs2SWIjHK4M1DhEwjefo5Zzdirbp6Tss8FrrLa6YRvHFvkwCk7SJ64BN8cYMpuggZuLDuece_daBzzd1ft8pP580PXsN1HJNkUCsAu7mR326jfKQC6k6WT/s1600-h/setong+1st+Day+tracking1.JPG&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 256px; height: 176px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaI-Qg2kVfEiy1UQwyuZLMidGs2SWIjHK4M1DhEwjefo5Zzdirbp6Tss8FrrLa6YRvHFvkwCk7SJ64BN8cYMpuggZuLDuece_daBzzd1ft8pP580PXsN1HJNkUCsAu7mR326jfKQC6k6WT/s320/setong+1st+Day+tracking1.JPG&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5077758799848056898&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The mountainous backdrop there is made up of a chain of majestic peaks, waiting to be conquered – Gunung Ayam, Gunung Stong, Gunung Tera, Gunung Saji, Gunung Koh, Gunung Baha, Gunung Beirut, Gunung Che Tahir. (Gunung is the local word for mountain). One of the main attractions at the state park is Gunung Stong (1,422 meters), a dome-shaped granite complex more than 500 million years old. Here, the seven-tiered Stong Waterfalls, reputed to be the highest in Southeast Asia, drops from a height of about 990 metres. Reaching the peak of the falls takes two hours of trekking for about one kilometer on steep inclines of between 60 to 90 degrees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The Mt.Stong State Park is listed among the top five unique ecotourism destinations in Malaysia. It covers an area of 21,950 hectares of land dotted with high peaks, dense forest, a variety of caves, rivers and waterfalls. Its thick jungle is home to elephants, tigers, bears, gibbons, hornbills and a range of other exotic wildlife, as well as a variety of flora and fauna including the world’s largest flower, the rafflesia of the kerii meyer species, and the endemic long-sectioned bamboo, a type of purple herb (Didymocarpus calcareous) and a unique palm species (Licuala stongesis).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnWqTDmUCyDi526ijCqdfyOMTbdfUMqOoQPy8Cjqhyu8j4zuxvlv4fpsBz2_G5VzZ47_Cjbn81UikZHmi-JAO_xipC5XXLdActc-NJChbMSESpOQA06UXXhnV7aSPru50Ix5TttMl6l8Dc/s1600-h/setong+1st+Day+tracking3.JPG&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnWqTDmUCyDi526ijCqdfyOMTbdfUMqOoQPy8Cjqhyu8j4zuxvlv4fpsBz2_G5VzZ47_Cjbn81UikZHmi-JAO_xipC5XXLdActc-NJChbMSESpOQA06UXXhnV7aSPru50Ix5TttMl6l8Dc/s320/setong+1st+Day+tracking3.JPG&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5077759040366225490&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;With the assistance of a qualified and knowledgeable trekking guide, the journey uphill is made more meaningful as he points out species of wildlife sighted along the way. In good weather conditions, an experienced guide can take travelers along the scenic route of the waterfalls from the foot of Gunung Stong at least halfway before continuing inland for the rest of the hike up. This route showcases the waterfall cascading down from great heights along the solid granite rock structure, a breath-taking sight to behold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG2MUgH6UEEyi-jzlckChDLyU8kIJnVk9jHJn7XBPirlyEueTCAyvuOZbZWAm3s_Nq62G8t2etp9mO8cTmhfg3hQ7P1PJlNjXd-3socs5QtJqGwOn5CLuWl23vya5DyJofvyCrOAPfdLXS/s1600-h/setong+peak.JPG&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjG2MUgH6UEEyi-jzlckChDLyU8kIJnVk9jHJn7XBPirlyEueTCAyvuOZbZWAm3s_Nq62G8t2etp9mO8cTmhfg3hQ7P1PJlNjXd-3socs5QtJqGwOn5CLuWl23vya5DyJofvyCrOAPfdLXS/s320/setong+peak.JPG&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5077759439798184034&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;At the peak of Stong Waterfalls is Baha’s Camp – and much-appreciated rest for tired legs. Weary travellers often make Baha’s Camp their pit stop for the night before continuing up Gunung Stong the following day. It has eight wooden huts and two camping grounds that can accommodate between 200 and 300 people at one time. From here, one can sit at the edge of smooth, large rocks and watch the crystal-clear waters of Stong river rush down over the steep edge of the mountain. In the mornings, a thick fog floats in the air creating the dreamy effect of walking on clouds. By noon, the fog clears to reveal a magical view of the lush green valley below. When night descends, snuggle up by the campfire as the mysterious legends and folklores about the origins of Gunung Stong are unraveled.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;From Baha’s Camp, it only takes a minute to walk over to the Kolam Tuan Puteri (Princess Pool) where one can enjoy a refreshing dip by the falls. About 25 minutes trek from Baha’s Camp is the Telaga Tujuh (Seven Wells), a series of smaller waterfalls that empty into mini pools.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://s244.photobucket.com/albums/gg27/nethub/sdrc/pic_setong/?action=view&amp;current=setong2ndDay11.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg27/nethub/sdrc/pic_setong/setong2ndDay11.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Photobucket&quot; width=&quot;170&quot; height=&quot;120&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://s244.photobucket.com/albums/gg27/nethub/sdrc/pic_setong/?action=view&amp;current=setong2ndDay6.jpg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg27/nethub/sdrc/pic_setong/setong2ndDay6.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Photobucket&quot; width=&quot;170&quot; height=&quot;120&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other places worth visiting and easily accessible from Baha’s Camp are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;The Y Waterfalls, also known as the Last Waterfalls, where separate waterfalls from two mountains, Gunung Stong and Gunung Ayam, meet. Legends abound that it is the proverbial fountain of youth as those who drink from it are said to retain a youthful appearance ( 30 minutes away from Baha&#39;s Camp).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sungai Rantai @ Check Point One (1) to Mt.Stong &amp; Mt.Ayam :- can be reach after 60-90 minutes walked.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Benta Balak @ Check Point Two (2) to Mt.Stong &amp;amp; Mt.Ayam :- suitable for bird watching &amp; camping. 60-90 minutes away from Sungai Rantai.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bogor Caves @ Check Point Three (3) to Mt.Stong :- a cave-like formation by two huge boulders and a suitable resting point for the night on the way to the peak of Gunung Stong. River &amp;amp; nature pool just next to the cave. 30-45 minutes from Benta Balak.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sungai Baha @ Check Point Three (3) to Mt.Ayam :- suitable for resting point (lunch) before climb up to Mt.Ayam peak. 60-90 minutes from Benta Balak.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The summit of Gunung Stong (Mt.Stong), which can be reached within two (2) hours of trekking from Bogor Caves.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Gunung Ayam (Mt.Ayam), the highest peak in the area, standing at 1,504 metres needs about six hours of trekking to reach its peak. It is the ideal spot to watch both sunset and sunrise. A campsite is available for overnight stays.Kelantan, cloaked in dense jungles, high peaks, mysterious caves, swirling rapids and shrouded in mystery and folklore, hides the promise of romantic and thrilling adventures that will test your endurance, push your physical and mental limits, and simply take your breath away. It is an off-the-beaten destination that few travelers venture to but one that will definitely make you return for more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTPyGBPALI428uOObs1lthyphenhyphenJxztSsA_2Zi0OBTAOJBNdmJ02P92_-pKFVuJg_5_0YfO4IKdlfu55-2NM3JPKkzdc4F3dOCeifn_jTRzE8xni-cBLoj1n7HbkM2WZ1GL6xA3PeTZrWlDNLO/s1600-h/setong+home2.JPG&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 450px; height: 310px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTPyGBPALI428uOObs1lthyphenhyphenJxztSsA_2Zi0OBTAOJBNdmJ02P92_-pKFVuJg_5_0YfO4IKdlfu55-2NM3JPKkzdc4F3dOCeifn_jTRzE8xni-cBLoj1n7HbkM2WZ1GL6xA3PeTZrWlDNLO/s400/setong+home2.JPG&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5077762343196076242&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggK4W65luJoO8ci31GQVJ2vZ7C1D48rPOhSLTQ9xA0mUoe5t_mWaNbK-jpeU0aWARrhGeNgosh88AoLEobWPybiZk5yosuhOvMzcWnX_N1NVINIesK2G3Zvmc2sS0pP_NO0aWB49x4JDna/s1600-h/setong4.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 450px; height: 310px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggK4W65luJoO8ci31GQVJ2vZ7C1D48rPOhSLTQ9xA0mUoe5t_mWaNbK-jpeU0aWARrhGeNgosh88AoLEobWPybiZk5yosuhOvMzcWnX_N1NVINIesK2G3Zvmc2sS0pP_NO0aWB49x4JDna/s400/setong4.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5077860710832056610&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://sdrconline.blogspot.com/2007/06/mt-stong.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT_2i52_XMzEmbloGtjKM4JUnOD4WEfSzwgDsCA63dMm4XkAy22db5NIsEUJjflLbAZZfLEZv-NGaNVEIZ-7_s22f-0zRtQ8Enxd67oiTYEyqe1MX4l1pfVpHUKTT9pfyVlsQGDA_g3GXk/s72-c/setong2.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8821302894108060905.post-9023407383060510427</guid><pubDate>Tue, 12 Jun 2007 18:42:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-05-31T23:42:53.466-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Perak</category><title>Mt.

This 1,568m mountain is found in Kuala Kangsar and its peak can be rather cold. Charting temperatures of about 5 to 15 degrees Celsius at the summit, this mountain is for the fit and healthy only.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;There is a pool of water found at its summit that is a common water source for hikers and mountaineers. It is believed that during long lost time, a man throw a bubu (gadget to capture fish) from his village to the summit. As a result, a pond is created near the summit. This pond has been a water source for mountaineers who camp at the summit. However it seems that lately, the pond has been polluted by human, and I assumed that water from the pond is no longer drinkable, but suitable for any other use. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdEED4t3576ALHuNlZfcTXAwBe1u5ipW-0YIuJ7lmQaMvwipKRaUhlT2x8KtuJl2ZCVXcEuJn1u6TpXmGuKZvtKJVrCP08sGXK12OTEpmxheuTZCqlfAAK-xToSSmDKCybxVEx7n9TB2ep/s1600-h/bubu3.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 281px; height: 211px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdEED4t3576ALHuNlZfcTXAwBe1u5ipW-0YIuJ7lmQaMvwipKRaUhlT2x8KtuJl2ZCVXcEuJn1u6TpXmGuKZvtKJVrCP08sGXK12OTEpmxheuTZCqlfAAK-xToSSmDKCybxVEx7n9TB2ep/s320/bubu3.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5075471682518294866&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;There are actually 3 different Gunung Bubu, and this one is the one in Kuala Kangsar, Perak. The trek will usually take 2 days, one day up and one day down. If you want to make it more a leisure trip, stretch it to 3 days, 2 days up and one day down. Below I&#39;ll describe how a 3 day trip will be. This mountain is famous for it&#39;s zillion leaches. If you freak out at the sight of leaches, don&#39;t go anywhere close this mountain.... The trek starts at the Ulu Kenas forest reserve, where the Biro Tatanegara Camp is situated. To get there, you have to take the public bus from Kuala Kangsar and stop at the entrance of the park. Then you&#39;ll have to walk a bit , until the BTN gate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;&quot; &gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Trail&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZf_R9giLjARTAU7pbMdO8-LhNMk3T0Al_H5IEzNnXqQE5FT6D7itznZOWymiBRGEELPSZq3saEiqabZrcJDhshyCt1MIerII0vnkxP8SzAJZWA3BcDFlPSCYt6eZ-i-x-BeTPiO7nhGGl/s1600-h/tr1s.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZf_R9giLjARTAU7pbMdO8-LhNMk3T0Al_H5IEzNnXqQE5FT6D7itznZOWymiBRGEELPSZq3saEiqabZrcJDhshyCt1MIerII0vnkxP8SzAJZWA3BcDFlPSCYt6eZ-i-x-BeTPiO7nhGGl/s200/tr1s.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5075472331058356578&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;From the car park, proceed to the right side of the B.T.N. camp. There is a red earth road, quite wide with a steep wall on the right. . Further up there is a small TNB hydroelectric station, with some water pouring out of some big pipes. Continue for about 0.5 hours and take a right turn . If you continue straight, there is a rather steep down hill which will lead to a small dam. Back track and take the small trek which is now on your left. Continue trekking until you reach a small stream , about 10 meters wide. The trek to the stream will be rather flat, and you will cross some log bridges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXqKTOPwZB8t0Xv7_jo0NgZo3Isr4E3JP3Zo8nZt3FiQXFte4-k2opbSgD_R0caEMkxQtN4vzW2ekV4dAuhvJZ90PiOr_KJc0pqAeJ5hr7zhmWfSDfqPQsZyvlR_bXkXw0auV_JNI9Oc9U/s1600-h/p7s.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 108px; height: 145px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXqKTOPwZB8t0Xv7_jo0NgZo3Isr4E3JP3Zo8nZt3FiQXFte4-k2opbSgD_R0caEMkxQtN4vzW2ekV4dAuhvJZ90PiOr_KJc0pqAeJ5hr7zhmWfSDfqPQsZyvlR_bXkXw0auV_JNI9Oc9U/s200/p7s.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5075472794914824562&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;The trek to the stream will take about 2 hours. Stop here for a rest. There is also a small clearing, incase you want to camp here. From the river, it would take about 2-3 hours to reach Sungai Gading Campsite. Along the way. there will be some gradual uphill, and watch out for a sharp right turn at one of the junctions. If you go straight , you&#39;ll reach a small waterfall. Sungai Gading Campsite is rather beautiful, it has two rivers flowing on each side, and looks sort of like the last water point on the Sungai Temin trek (Gunung Korbu). Be careful as this campsite is at the confluence of two rivers, especially during the rainy season or just after rain. The campsite is quite big, can take about 50 people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;&quot; &gt;Summit&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The trek to the peak begins from the back of the campsite, the start of the trek has some ropes to help climbing the steep incline. The trek up to the last water point, a small stream should take about 1.5-2 hrs ,and is quite steep. At the small stream, there is enough space for perhaps one or two tents. You will have to collect your water for the night at the peak  here. The peak is about 2 hours from the last water point , and gets steeper as you get closer to the peak. Once up on the peak, you can see the metal pyramid and a stone on one side. The campsite can fit about 20 people, but can get rather soggy if it rains. From the peak, you can see the Titiwangsa range, with Gunung Yong Belar, Yong Yap in the distance. The view will be more beautiful when the sun rises behind the Titiwangsa range early in the morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIahVX90pRA20G5TTcxucL8YsPB-cr6XBC82wurF_fejKSpnK-YcP_B0_4YXiF9zUskK_47ynqjTDqQkrQZ66R8mCnwFza5DGZDr_Bib0WM-X7wkI7kR46e9WIm_mVmDOkBUHl_PMnO9RM/s1600-h/ulukenas2.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

These sites are easily accessible and guides are not compulsory. Gunung Berembun and Gunung Brinchang in the Cameron Highlands provide breathtaking views of tea and vegetable plantations and are ideal for those who prefer light trekking. The latter at 2032 meters is the highest point that can be reached by road in Peninsular Malaysia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;For those wanting more than a weekend adventure, choose a summit that requires a journey through the wilderness first. One can ascend Gunung Gagau in Taman Negara in a day’s climb, but to reach the base of the mountain you need to travel by river for two days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;For a more challenging climb, head to Gunung Tahan, the highest point in Peninsular Malaysia. The 130 Kilometre return journey takes up to 9 days and traverses over rainforests, rivers and mountain ridges. An experienced guide is required.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://sdrconline.blogspot.com/2007/06/mountain-in-malaysia.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Click here for list of Mountain&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;&quot; &gt;MOUNTAINS IN SABAH AND SARAWAK&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:verdana;&quot;&gt;Gunung Kinabalu, one of the highest mountains in Southeast Asia at 4093m is located in Kinabalu Park, Sabah.

The summit is located between the border of Muar and Malacca. Standing at 1,276 m (4,186 ft), with a clear trail leading to the peak, the mountain is a popular destination among amateur climbers. Mount Ophir is also the 64th highest mountain in Malaysia and arguably the most climbed mountain in the country, despite it having one of the higher climbing fatalities in the region of South-East Asia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;&quot;  &gt;Origins of its name&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;&quot;  &gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiKAQMHq_bZc_lhVvCqk_9Oohm5NJV_6NzSOectAp93wpXP5jTKkVI4AVA4qR2eoUwbXUziJ_dWIYlX-3nTFApszS2GjOniEauJmm5NAssP_SwDmjNpaa9XTN3gCHRL2USthPprzYgLS8T/s1600-h/FOTO+7.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 143px; height: 208px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiKAQMHq_bZc_lhVvCqk_9Oohm5NJV_6NzSOectAp93wpXP5jTKkVI4AVA4qR2eoUwbXUziJ_dWIYlX-3nTFApszS2GjOniEauJmm5NAssP_SwDmjNpaa9XTN3gCHRL2USthPprzYgLS8T/s200/FOTO+7.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5075110626092556354&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;There are a few popular opinions regarding the origin of the mountain&#39;s name. According to one opinion, ancient history points to the mountain being the site of rich gold deposits, luring traders from as far as Greece and China. The name ‘Ophir’ itself is thought to have originated from the Hebrew language. In the 14th Century, the Chinese seafarers plying the Straits of Malacca called it ‘Kim Sua’ meaning the ‘Golden Mountain’. Another source said that the Javanese during the period of the Majapahit empire named the mountain ‘Gunong Ledang’, which means ‘mount from afar’.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;&quot;  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Ledang Trails&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;&quot;  &gt;The legendary beauty of Mount Ophir (Gunung Ledang) has made it one of Johor&#39;s most popular attractions for hikers and birdwatchers. There two known ways of reaching the summit. One is from Sagil, a town in Johor, the other is through Asahan, Melaka. The shorter route is from Asahan. Gunung Ledang ( or Mount Ophir as it is otherwise better known ) is the most visited mountain in Malaysia. It is not peculiar to find people who has climb the mountain more than 10 times. The reason being, the place is easily accessible and suitable for beginners who wants to feel what mountains in Malaysia are really like. Some groups are using this mountain as a training ground for other challenging venues.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;&quot;  &gt;The Ledang trail starts from Gunung Ledang resort, near Sagil village is close to the Malacca and Johor border. The other way of reaching the summit is through Asahan trail in Melaka, an easier route. The paved road starts besides the river leading and leads towards a few staircases till an open gate, where the real climbing begins. If you want to trek up Gunung Ledang, it&#39;s about five hours to the summit from the park. Alternatively, one can arrange a 4WD transfer for a quick and easier trip which interestingly, offers an equally beautiful view of the surrounding Sagil area and a breathtaking sight of Gunung Ledang Dam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;&quot;  &gt;Water Fall&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_RiO0L3T6VKuPGMmSnJGubD3fyRmjdzY8vzlT8JweVFtDHm7Xyq7W2vn8RP9PrRr9E3GXGxrMrIQb5g5_uVdEoVvzREouuhSdBo5T0x1AX-_ENfFTYb_0GlF05Mc16_q-i9cNTD5m95jy/s1600-h/l1.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_RiO0L3T6VKuPGMmSnJGubD3fyRmjdzY8vzlT8JweVFtDHm7Xyq7W2vn8RP9PrRr9E3GXGxrMrIQb5g5_uVdEoVvzREouuhSdBo5T0x1AX-_ENfFTYb_0GlF05Mc16_q-i9cNTD5m95jy/s320/l1.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5075110114991448114&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;&quot;  &gt;Gunung Ledang is believed to have the richest flora species in the world. It has a 50 metres high waterfall with a wide drop of 50 metres. It has icy cool waters charge down upon large boulders, then break into rushing rapids before plugging into the large sandy pool below. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;&quot;  &gt;This waterfall, discovered some 50 years ago, is name the &quot;Puteri Waterfalls&quot; Over the period it has witnessed thousands of tourists almost every week, picnicking, backpacking or just bathing in the refreshing water of the pool. You&#39;ll see giant butterflies, brightly coloured spiders amidst wild tropical flowers of bright yellow, crimson and orange. Crickets and frogs singing song of the jungle, chirping sounds of birds become the music of this tropical wonderland. The summit was just beyond the boulders. There&#39;s a flat ground revealed at the summit of Gunung Ledang at 4187ft. Wide and flat, mystical and lovely. I can get a panoramic view of Segamat and Jementak town of Johor, and the historical Melaka.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;&quot;  &gt;Legend of Gunung Ledang&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;&quot;  &gt;There is a popular Malaysian folklore which told of a Princess with magical powers who resided on the mountain. She was wooed to be the wife of the then Sultan of Malacca, Sultan Mahmud Shah. However, she set impossible conditions for him as a means to reject his proposal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;&quot;  &gt;According to the legend, the princess was of slim build and medium height and had a stunning beauty. Further, she was also endowed with a sinuous movement, that accentuated every curve of her little body.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;&quot;  &gt;Men were naturally attracted to her but amongst the many, she was claimed to have spurned was the Sultan of Melaka. The legend tells us, that the princess eventually married one Nakhoda Ragam, a hero whose name unfailingly struck terror into the hearts of those, who had dared to oppose him. This hero was later to die at the hands of his princess-wife.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;&quot;  &gt;Ragam was found of tickling the Princess&#39;s ribs and one day, in an uncontrollable burst of reaction. The Princess stabbed her husband in the breast with a needle she was handling. Therefore the Princess returned to Mount Ophir and vowed never to set eyes on another man. Ragam&#39;s boat, not long after, was crushed during a storm and legend tells us that the debris of the wreck transformed into the present six islands off Melaka.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://getfile.biz/74500&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;&quot;  &gt;GET LEDANG TRAIL MAP HERE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;&quot; &gt;GETTING THERE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;&quot;  &gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm75qZNlw4HE0TDm048aNfLDL7tFuWVkhr1lWniLRidZDeaI37ryhyphenhyphenw_hVAt8wJal5bgIzBkecDjglZA4WmkSdjluXrXPB5Hnq7eZti9A3sgvS3md1hLPSigHoaABoqD0fk5UvRycoSAb1/s1600-h/road.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm75qZNlw4HE0TDm048aNfLDL7tFuWVkhr1lWniLRidZDeaI37ryhyphenhyphenw_hVAt8wJal5bgIzBkecDjglZA4WmkSdjluXrXPB5Hnq7eZti9A3sgvS3md1hLPSigHoaABoqD0fk5UvRycoSAb1/s320/road.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5075109586710470690&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;&quot;  &gt;Driving from Johor / Singapore to Segamat &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;&quot;  &gt;Drive to Segamat from Tebrau Higway and proceed your journey to Segamat.

From Segamat, you have to continue your journey to Sagil, a small town where Gunung Ledang is located. It will take about 45minutes from Segamat.

It is located a Hulu Langat. It is s a good training place for trekkers and also one of the difficult mountain to trek. A normal walking pace will take 8 to 9 hours to reach the summit. Normally people will camp near Lolo or Tanah Pacat before proceed to the summit. On a clear day, one can have a commanding view of Genting highland &amp; Kuala Lumpur.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Gunung Nuang is a distinct solitary peak of 4,899 feet. The journey there can be described as going through 4 phases of hiking. The first leg, a relatively easy walk along broad track of 4 kilometers to reach the Lolo waterfalls and popular campsite. That should take just over an hour plus for 1,900 feet. Second stage, continuing from this picnic area, involved walking up a continuous and fairly steep slope for 2.5 kilometers. Destination - the mid point campsite - Pachat Camp. Suppose the name speaks about campers and hikers who take time off to &quot;check stock&quot; of inherited leeches. It is a welcoming point for those on upwards journey to recuperate before the strenuous final assault. By now, you would have reach 3,500 feet and walked close to 2.5 -3 hours from the car park.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The last hike is going up a steep slope of 1,000 feet This tiny distance demands an hour to reach the first summit. At this summit, 4,500 feet, it is a mossy forest. A path on this ridge runs from Gunung Nuang down to another broad track -the Janda Baik to Jelebu timber track. But this summit is not Nuang Yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The fourth segment as I called it is taking the turning left and start following a gradual down hill trekto the isolated peak at the end of this ridge. This short stretch down about 100 feet in height and then up can be accomplished in under 30 minutes. The return journey should be easy. If the whole hike from the car park is accomplished within 8 hours and you are still walking after that, then you are ready for Mount KK or Gunung Berapi in Mulu. This is &quot;that&quot; climb around KL for city folks to experience endurances and gauge their readiness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Without revealing too much, this trek passes through forested hills with a very high biodiversity. As the forest has remained intact, keep your eyes open to enjoy a host of wonderful sights along both sides of the trails.The Ulu Langat Road ends at the Mini Hydro power station of Pangsoon.

The scene at the end of the road? Before the gate, on the right, picnic spots from the Pangsoon River rapids . Besides the gate, a left turn off to this car park. Behind the car park are chalets for rental to the public and offices of the Forestry Department. An Officer is available on a 24 hours basis and register your entry to the Forest Reserve. There is no fee charged. &lt;span style=&quot;;font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;&quot;  &gt;You will begin your walk on through this pine forest, at first on level ground.After that straight path, the climb starts. The track is broad and solid enough for 4X4 vehicles and light trunks to the waterfall area. The nature of road surfaces is hard, surfaces vary from red laterite to remnants of tarred surfaces.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXuvaJLNbXba9hUVd-meMR1wh8guTHYFkF3kXikFqHft33yTGeMNheNNupgLO_g0Fi0HniyqLeJwTAS9mRCRFnpZc2BEEYQMiBnJCAjfrPCnPX1Abj8xlDCi1bVb1yte4dPI4ACLhhUBF8/s1600-h/1pinetrail.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXuvaJLNbXba9hUVd-meMR1wh8guTHYFkF3kXikFqHft33yTGeMNheNNupgLO_g0Fi0HniyqLeJwTAS9mRCRFnpZc2BEEYQMiBnJCAjfrPCnPX1Abj8xlDCi1bVb1yte4dPI4ACLhhUBF8/s200/1pinetrail.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5075104905196117970&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Leaving the pine trees at lower level, the track soon returns to tropical jungle interspersed with beautiful bamboo groves. Overall gradient is tolerable with long stretches of level portions as relief.The paved surfaces in the last kilometer is in fairly decent condition. when you hit that landmark , it is a sign that the end of the walk is near. At last, there is a clearing on level ground, wide enough as parking area. The river on your right is going through rapids, hidden within 40 feet deep ravine. The banks are suitable as picnic areas littered with signs of previous patronage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Standing at the paved area, ahead lies boulders and a gigantic steel pipe. Don&#39;t be deterred. See that obscure path among the boulders? Proceed below the pipe. Here a wooden bridge will get you over the river without wetting your shoes. This long and never seem to end pipe comes into view as you ascend a low slope after crossing the river. You will be confused by the existence of another clearer path that forces you to ponder, it is a trail for bikers whose vehicles cannot hike that short slope of 10 feet. Just move ahead following the well trodden trail that runs along the pipe. With steep slopes on the left and a ravine on the right, the trail heads for only one place - the Lolo waterfall and campsites.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYr-Q4n_DujcHt6Y97S95iu7MbTTCOwycK-4ojGnVsqDXhAlcUEawEvkhviMtJD7qaCnlGakUt25j6zJpShHB9sz4s3bBqZeJC0T5n0szoTVgYkbPCFkcd-ONMbDNC43AyDXSdsZC00cXw/s1600-h/217.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYr-Q4n_DujcHt6Y97S95iu7MbTTCOwycK-4ojGnVsqDXhAlcUEawEvkhviMtJD7qaCnlGakUt25j6zJpShHB9sz4s3bBqZeJC0T5n0szoTVgYkbPCFkcd-ONMbDNC43AyDXSdsZC00cXw/s200/217.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5075105171484090338&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The end of the Lolo trail is marked by that insignificant waterfall, seen as the right edge of this picture. A flight of steps guides you to the water intake station. It is an open shed supplemented with dwelling of the care taker. The campsite lies in the wooded jungles beyond the pump station. Most people choose not to rush i.e. hasten to complete the climb within the same day. Hence the campsites at Lolo sees a perpetually large crowd each weekends. Regular would do a night hike to reach Lolo before midnight and head for the summit at first light. This region has the tendency for convectional rain each afternoon. Coming down the tracks after 2.00 pm. especially in the rain is not your idea of fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some ideas as to how slippery the track is and its  gradient, some more daring hikers sat on parts of the trail and slide down on their butts. That is fun and just to illustrate how fun can be measured.
