#hikingtrails#100waysoftravel#nationalpark#johor Mount Ophir or better known as Gunung Ledang is a popular hiking spot which nestled in Taman Negara Gunung Ledang, Tangkak District, Johor, Malaysia. This was my first time to hike Mount Ophir and quite a tough mission. Ensure to spend at least 8 hours to hike this highest mountain in Johor(stands 1276m). The Lagenda trail to the peak is pretty challenging, the trail was well equipped with sturdy ladders and ropes, reflectors and signboards/maps. Over 30 ladders to climb, and 2 rock scaling to reach the peak. There are 2 bathing places, one is Kolam Mahligai, then go up a little and there is a beautiful and peaceful waterfall is Air Terjun Sungai Air Putih. Truly enjoy the breathtaking scenery and cooling fresh air on the peak. Overall it was an exciting and memorable experience! 🌿 Minimum of 4 pax to register for a guide, Daytrip Hiking: RM 122, Sunrise Pursuite: RM 221 and Summit Attack: RM 152 for Malaysian. The office staffs are friendly and the guides is accommodating & knowledgeable. 📍26 Batu, Jalan Segamat, Sagil, 84020, Tangkak District, Johor, Malaysia.

#johorbahrutrip Hiking **Gunung Ledang** (aka Mount Ophir) isn’t a walk—it’s a **full-on jungle negotiation** with gravity, sweat, and the occasional monkey judge. But ohhh, when those clouds part at the summit? *Magical.* Here’s how to survive (and love) Johor’s legendary mountain. **First Reality Check**: The **"3KM" marker** is a liar. Those switchbacks feel like a StairMaster set to "vengeance mode." My legs were *audibly sobbing* by Km 2. **Jungle Magic**: - **Waterfalls** with pools so clear you’ll question if they’re filtered (they’re not—nature just shows off here). - **500-year-old trees** wrapped in vines like grandpas in scarves. - The **smell**: earthy dampness + wild ginger flowers = best natural aromatherapy. **"Oops" Moment**: I tried to **feed a macaque** my trail mix. Big mistake. He called his *entire family*, and suddenly I was in a *Planet of the Apes* reboot. 🐒 **Secret Spot**: Near Km 4, there’s a **hidden viewpoint** off the main trail (look for pink ribbons). The reward? A private cliff-edge panorama *without* the summit crowds. **Post-Hike Feast**: The **kampung-style nasi lemak** at the base—coconut rice with *ikan bilis* so crispy, it could wake the dead. Eat it sprawled on the grass like a victorious (exhausted) warrior. **Climb Smart Itinerary**: ⏰ **5:30 AM**: Start in cool darkness (headlamp required!). ⏰ **8:00 AM**: Swim at **Puteri Falls**—ice-cold therapy for screaming muscles. ⏰ **12:00 PM**: Summit selfie (if clouds cooperate). **Survival Kit**: - **Trekking poles** (your knees will thank you). - **2L water** (dehydration is *not* a vibe). - **RM50 cash** for guides/meals (mandatory for summit attempts). Gunung Ledang doesn’t just test your fitness—it **rewires your soul**. And yes, I *did* whisper *"never again"*… while secretly planning my next climb. 🙃

Very nice mountain in johor

One of the most recommended treks for those who want to have a challenging trekking experience with a life long excitement. Gunung Ledang (also known as Mount Ophir), 1276 metres is probably Peninsular Malaysia’s best-known mountain. The mountain is situated in Johor, close to the Melaka border and it is a very accessible mountain. Ledang can be climbed in a weekend, camping one or two nights on the mountain. We choose to do a day hike, spending around 8 hours including lunch and photo taking for the round trip#hiking #moutain
