Hiking in Malaysia
WARRING !! The Malaysian trails are rather easy but you must remember that topographics maps are not available ,almost all trails are not marked and usually you cannot use public transport to get to starting point. It is why I recommend you to contact with any traveling club (I always attand to trips organized by SAC) to organize such trip. You can organize such trip alone but it will cost more and in some situation it can be even dengerous. To conntact with me use my email: michal_szymanski@hotmail.com or using YahooMessenger: michal_szymanski
THIS PAGE OFFERS THE BEST INFORMATION WHAT I HAVE BUT I CANNOT GUARANTY THAT ALL INFORMATION ARE 100% CORRECT, YOU TAKE A RISK !!!
| Name of trail | Mt.Ophir |
| Description | The mountains is only 1300m but denivelation is about 1200m. After this trail I was much more tired then after the thoughest trail in Alps. It is clear why, big denivelation and tropical wheather - high humidity and high temperature. Simply good luck !!! |

| Name of trail | Gunung Belumut |
| Description | Big denivelation... be prepared. The mountain is really big when you compare with what you can see in Johor state. You can see pitcher plant here. I have heart that from time to time tigers visit this mountains. During ascent you can traverse a wide range of vegetation.The view from the top is nice but I can recomend better places if you interested in the spectacular views. There is a stream near the trail starting point, clear water with possibility of swiming. |
| How to get there | First get to Kluang (train or bus) and from the town you have arrange transport the best option is taxi to Gunung Belumut. |
