Hike on Mount. Ophir (Gunung Ledang), Johor
"Hikers had rated Gunung Ledang (Mount. Ophir) as the 6th difficult summit trails among Malaysia mountains. There's 4 trails can go up to the summit. Here's the hiker's trail from Gate B, Pusat Operasi Taman Negara Gunung Ledang. Total 8 checkpoints (CP) along the trail. The terrain before CP5 is quite gentle uphill. The KFC session is after CP6 up to CP 8 (summit) ... Along the way there's ropes and ladders to assist. This is not a leisure jungle walk." - By Snail-Works
"We have not much time to enjoy the scenery due to we were late to the trailhead. There's rule that if anybody cannot reach summit before 3.00pm, he/she must turn back from the point where he/she is. Hikers are not allowed to camp overnight in the park." - By Snail-Works
"I hope next time i can have more time to explore the waterfalls and flora here." - By Snail-Works
There must at least few hours of climb & hike to reach the peak of Mount Ophir. The total trail is about 5.8KM from the start point.
I might not fit enough for the trail....Hopefully one day the National Park is open for camping overnight, then...maybe I can try. Or else I'm definitely not fit to hike up & down within a day....haha!
Snail-Works and friends finally reach the summit. You can see the satisfaction from the face! :)
