Gunung Ledang, Melaka

Ledang from distance

Waterfall at Ledang

At the peak of Ledang

European explorers of old called it Mount Ophir, the legendary mountain of old. Tales tell of a princess with magical powers living on the mountain, who was wooed by a Malaccan Sultan. To dissuade his amorous advances, she set him seven impossible tasks to complete.

Whatever the legends may say, Gunung Ledang (1276metres) beckons all. King Cobras and pythons call the verdant slopes home, as do a variety of orchids and carnivorous pitcher plants. Walking past by the waterfall is so refreshing. It is one of the best waterfall in peninsular Malaysia. Ledang is arguably the most climbed mountain in Malaysia as it is accessible from major cities on the west coast of the peninsular. Popular routes start in the towns of Asahan and Sagil, the former being the easier ascent.

To get to Gunung Ledang, you can take the North-South Expressway to Sagil, Johor or Asahan, Melaka. Alternatively, you can take a bus to Jasin, Melaka and from there proceed via bus or taxi to Asahan. By train, head to Segamat, Johor. Sagil is just a bus-ride away. Climbing the mountain from start to finish takes between 2 to 3 hours from both Sagil and Asahan.

Enjoying the waterfall

fish your own supper

It is located in Terengganu, Kenyir is Malaysia's largest man-made lake. This is the prefect place for a quiet, idyllic retreat with nature. More than 8,000 species of flora can be found in and around Kenyir lake. Stay on a house boat is a must-place. Imagine you fish from your room for your supper. Interesting?

Snakeheads, giant gouramy and green arowana are abundant in the waters. Visit caves and small islets then cool off by bathing in the numerous waterfalls there. End the day watching the sun set over the branches of trees, long drowned beneath the waters of the lake.

Kenyir is only accessible via land transport. It is 55km from Kuala Terengganu. There are regular bus services to Pengkalan Gawi, the main access point for Kenyir. Express buses also run from Hentian Putra in Kuala Lumpur direct to Pengkalan Gawi.
