This tough but rewarding activity brings you closest to Malaysia’s natural world and you will be able to see and appreciate all its unique secrets that have remained well hidden from the outside world over many millenniums. Mountain climbing in Malaysia is more than trying to achieve the goal of reaching a summit and enjoying the view below. It gives you the first hand experience and knowledge about life in the dense forests of Malaysia. Through this activity, you will get to see rare and unusual flora, unique insects, colourful birds and sometimes even wild animals that inhabit the forested slopes. Experience mesmerising moments as you approach the thundering beauty of plunging waters.

Take the opportunity to cool your tired feet in the icy mineral water, which offers the most invigorating and refreshing natural bath. Malaysia’s mountains are never dry of waterfalls and most trails will take you across or pass one of these magnificent natural wonders. As you get higher, it will be hard not to notice the changing vegetation. Trees become smaller and are covered in moss, the undergrowth gets thicker and occasionally, a burst of colours will tell you that this is rhododendron country. Although all the mountains in Malaysia, save Mount Kinabalu, are not much higher than 2000m, many of these lower mountains present good challenges that can take anywhere from three to nine days to complete a round trip.

The easiest climbs in the peninsula that may take just several hours and can be done at the hill resorts of Gunung Jerai in Kedah, Bukit Larut in Perak and Fraser’s Hill in Pahang, all with tarred roads right to the highest elevations. A combination of trekking on road and climbing short jungle routes will allow you to reach elevations above 1000m in just three hours. Real jungle climbs that are relatively easy can be done at Gunung Bujang Melaka in Kampar, Perak, Gunung Angsi in Negeri Sembilan, Gunung Ledang and Gunung Belumut in Johor. Tougher climbs requiring three to four days can be expected at most of the mountains above 1500m.

Gunung Tahan (2187m)

The highest mountain in Peninsular Malaysia, Gunung Tahan in the Taman Negara National Park is also one of the toughest to climb. There are two climbing routes, one from Kuala Tahan, which can take up to nine days to complete. The other route is from Merapoh near Gua Musang and takes five days to complete. If you plan to climb from the Merapoh route, you can reach the town by train from Gua Musang. You can get to the other route from Kuala Tahan, which is the main entrance to Taman Negara National Park, through several local tour companies who organise trips from Kuala Lumpur to the park. You may also take express buses from the Pekeliling Bus Station in Kuala Lumpur to Jerantut, the town nearest to the park from Pahang. From there, buses or taxis will take you to Kuala Tahan. Climbing Tahan requires guides and permits as well as photography license, which can be obtained from the Department of Wildlife and National Parks’ office at the park entrances in Kuala Tahan and Merapoh. Climbing Gunung Tahan offers some of the best mountain sceneries in the country and on the second day of your climb from Merapoh, you will reach highland plateaus with enthralling bonsai vegetation. Climbers normally camp here, but come prepared for chilly night conditions. Gunung Tahan’s peak, which is huge compared to other mountains in the country, can be reached by noon on the third day of the climb from Merapoh.

Gunung Korbu (2183m)

Gunung Korbu is situated not far from lpoh in the state of Perak and is the second highest peak in peninsula. The most popular climbing routes are from Tanjung Rambutan or from Ulu Kinta in Perak. The climb from Tanjung Rambutan can be done in four days. The climb from Ulu Kinta is more difficult as it is much steeper. The start to climbing this mountain from Ulu Kinta’s Intake is some 18km from lpoh and you will need to get your own transport or a public bus to get you near there.

Gunung Bubu (1568m)

Although not as high as the higher peaks of the Main Range, Gunung Bubu at the southern end of Bintang Range is quite a large mountain with sweeping hills and valleys on its north and west sides. A three-day climb can be done from the Ulu Kenas forest reserve in Kuala Kangsar. The mountain is near Kuala Kangsar town in Perak, which can be reached using the North South Expressway. Drive along Jalan Manong or take the public bus from Kuala Kangsar and stop at the entrance of the park.

Gunung Chamah (2171 M)

Located in the inner parts of the Main Range near Grik in northern Perak, Gunung Chamah is a difficult to access mountain and even more difficult to climb. To get to the base area in Kampung Rantau is a feat in itself, requiring a long drive to Grik, then continuing on to Pengkalan Trojan were you will need to go by motorboat for two hours followed by a 4WD to get to the place. Gunung Chamah is also located in one of the most pristine parts of the country, which means wild animals and even tigers roam the area. A round trip can take six days and requires many hours of day-long treks over several mountains.

Gunung Nuang (1493m)

Gunung Nuang in Ulu Langat is the highest peak in Selangor and takes two days to climb. Being close to Kuala Lumpur, this is an often-climbed mountain. From Kuala Lumpur, you may take a bus to Hulu Langat right to the Pansoon Dam. From here, you may head for the trailhead and start your trek up Gunung Nuang.

Gunung Yong Yap (2188m)

Gunung Yong Yap in Sungai Siput, Perak, is one of the higher mountains in the peninsula but can be climbed in three days. To get to the base of the trek at Kuala Mu, you will need to hire 4WD to the Orang Ash village, which is 2.5hrs away. You may also need to hire guides from this village. The trek up this mountain is very steep at many parts. Surprisingly, elephants are known to visit the peak quite regularly.

Gunung Irau (1812m)

This mountain can easily be climbed from Cameron Highlands and can be done in a day. You will be starting your climb from a higher altitude, which is a cooler start and the route passes through moss forest. To go there you have to travel to Cameron Highlands and proceed to Gunung Brinchang by road. You will need to hike about 3 hours through the Sungai Ruil Orang Ash settlement to reach Gunung Irau.

Gunung Tebu (1039m)

Gunung Tebu in Terengganu is a unique peak shrouded in many tales and mysteries. The peak is huge with a beautiful surrounding of stunted trees and tall long grass. It will be good idea to adhere to rules tied to the superstitions and beliefs when you climb this mountain as many mysterious happening are said to have taken place here. The hike up can be done in about 5-6 hours and from the top, and spectacular sunrises with the views of the South China Sea can be seen. To get to the start of the trek, you have to take a bus to Besut town. From there, take a cab to Lata Tembakoh Recreational Forest where the trailhead is located.

Gunung Benom (2107m)

This is the ninth highest peak in Peninsular Malaysia and is located in the Krau Wildlife Reserve near Jerantut in Pahang. The most established route is from the northeastern boundary of the reserve through Kampong Tengah, which is the starting point to access the trail to Gunung Benom. Entry permit must be obtained from the Department of Wildlife and National Park or from the local police. It can take five days to climb this mountain and be prepared for muddy and slippery conditions as well as low night temperatures at higher altitudes. The most established route (and of shortest duration) is to access from the northeastern boundary of the Krau Wildlife Reserve via Kampong Ulu Cheka.

Gunung Batu Puteh (2131 m)

Gunung Batu Puteh is near Kuala Woh in Tapah, Perak. The mountain can easily seen from the North South Expressway but getting to the base of the climb is quite a challenge. The trail starts near the Kuala Woh dam and you will need to higher a guide as some climbers have gone lost while attempting to climb the mountain.

Gunung Swettenham (1961 m)

Gunung Swettenham is a Kelantan-Pahang border in CeTeron Highlands, Pahang and is easily climbed in a day from Blue Valley in the highlands. The trail starts from The Yakin tea plantation in Blue Valley, which is accessible by 4WD. You will then have to climb up the steep tea plantation slopes, into the jungle.

Gunung Ulu Sepat (2161 m)

Although it’s one of the higher mountains, climbing it just takes about 3 days. The start of the trail is at Kompung Rantau, which is the remote village in the Grik area of Perak, where the climb to Gunung Chamah also begins. Getting there involves a boat ride and 4WD. Elephants also climb this mountain so you have to be extra careful.

Gunung Angsi (825m)

Gunung Angsi in the Ulu Bendul recreational forest in Negeri Sembilan can be climbed in a day and you cannot take longer than that as climbers are required to come down by 7pm. To trek up and down in one day should be easy for anyone who is reasonably fit.

It encompasses Tasik Temenggor, Perak’s largest man-made lake. In the midst of the lake is an island – Pulau Banding. A bridge connects the island to the land. The island is served by a resthouse and other tourist amenities.The lake is a rich source of freshwater fish like kelah, tenggalan and baung, which are extinct in other places. This attracts ardent anglers from near and far. The surrounding jungle is home to the Orang Asli (aborigines). Visits or overnight stays can be arranged for students of sociology. Northwest of Tasik Temenggor lies a vast area of virgin jungle known as Belum Forest Reserve which is of great interest to ecologists and conservationalists. Looming above the dense jungle at 4014 metres is Gunung Kenderong, known as the – Twin Peaks of Hulu Perak and Puncak Baring, another peak visible enroute the highway from Banding Island to Kelantan.

Located on the northwest corner of Perak, Matang Forest Reserve is regarded as the best managed mangrove forest in Malaysia. Mangrove ecosystems are highly productive and represent the life support systems for fisheries, forestry, medicine, food and other products. In the past mangroves have been exploited severely for logs and timber but growing awareness of the importance of mangroves saw the need to conserve these nature resources. Reservation of the Matang Forest Reserve began in 1902 and continued until the present area was fully gazetted by 1906. But it was not until 1950, when a comprehensive working plan was drawn up and revised every ten years. Matang Forest Reserve has been under a 30-year rotation. Within the 30-year rotation, two commercial thinnings have been carried out when the forest crop attains the age of 15 and 20 years. The felled mangrove timber is used in charcoal manufacture industry and silvicultural treatment. Felling contractors are required to retain a 3 metre buffer of mangrove trees along river banks to prevent erosion. Part of the Matang Forest Reserve, especially its Aviennia forest and mud flats, serves as a sanctuary (Kuala Gula Bird Sanctuary) for resident and migratory birds, while another area has been set aside as research and educational forest. A prehistorical area at Pulau Kalumpang is also under protection. Further information may be obtained from the Perak State Forestry Department.

How to get there: Access from North-South Highway and take Changkat-Jering Interchange (146), then follow the signposts.

It encompasses the watershed of the rivers Endau (in Johor) and Rompin (in Pahang). Sprawling over 488 sq km, many unique and endemic varieties of plants have been discovered within the forest, such as the magnificent fan palm (Endauensis) climbing bamboo (Rhopa loblaste) and the slender stemmed walking stick palm (Phychorapis singaporensis). Pitcher plants, toadstools and orchids also grace the forest floor. Moths and butterflies of every shape and hue can also be found flirting among the verdant foliage. It is also home to wildlife such as tapir, deer, wild boars, birds and butterflies. Facilities are limited and basic but the sheer magnificence of the forest would easily compensate the lack of creature comforts. Visitors have to register at the Registration Centre in Kampung Peta.

Covering some 544sq km, the Mulu National Park contains perhaps the most spectacular cave systems in the world. A total of 26 major caves comprising 150km of cave passsages were surveyed during cave expeditions in the early 80s. The largest found was the Sarawak Chamber which is said to be big enough to house 40 Jumbo jets. The Sarawak Chamber however is not accessible to tourists, but four others – Deer Cave, Lang Cave, Clearwater Cave and Cave of the Winds are open to visitors. Another attraction at the Mulu National Park is Gunung Api where rock climbers can scale the awe inspiring pinnacles. Sarawak also offers white water rafting on the notorious Pelagus Rapids, but more sedate river activities can be found on the Rejang River, the longest river in Sarawak. Mulu National Park is Sarawak largest national park of primary rainforest. Mulu’s major claim to fame is its spectacular limetone caves. The caves of Mulu command a long list of superlatives including the world’s largest cave passage, the world’s largest natural rock chamber and the longest cave system in South-East Asia. The limestone pinnacles formation are believed to be shaped since 1.65 million years ago during the Ice Age.

Covering 2,742 hectares of a rugged sandstone peninsula to the east of the Bako River near Kuching, the capital, it is the home of the proboscis monkey, silver-leaf monkeys and long-tailed macaques. Wave erosion at the base of the cliffs has carved many of the rocks into unusual sea arches and seastacks. The Bako National Park is Sara­wak’s oldest national park at the tip of the Muara Tebas peninsula. It offers visitors an excellent introduction to the rainforest of Borneo. It is one of the smallest parks in Sarawak Malaysia, yet one of the most interesting, as it contains almost every type of vegetation found in Borneo.
