Mountain Hiking

ImageThe most popular mountains are Gunung Beremban, Gunung Brinchang and Gunung Jasar. For the more adventurous there are other less well-known mountains but a guide is recommended on these journeys. 

 

Maps are available for the more common routes and you can find these at local shops or tour operators.

 

Gunung Beremban

Located in Tanah Rata, it can be reached via the Mardi Station, Brinchang (behind the Sam Poh Buddhist temple) or the golf course, past the Arcadia bungalow where the road stops (this is the easiest trail). It takes about 11/2 to 2 hours to reach the summit. It is also possible to climb Gunung Beremban from Robinson Falls.

Gunung Jasar

Also located in Tanah Rata, Gunung Jasar is a good track for beginners. The trail which starts next to the road to the weather station will take you 11/2 hours to reach the peak. Another trail which leads to the peak is located near the Oly Apartments in Tanah Rata.

Gunung Brinchang

Gunung Brinchang, is the highest peak in Malaysia accessible by road. The trail which starts from Sungai Palas will take about 11/2 hours to reach the summit. The view from the summit offers a great panorama of the plateau, although it spends most of its life shrouded in cloud. The road up the mountain starts near the Sungai Palas tea estate.
