Hutan Lipur Gunung Pulai — Attraction in Johor

This is a lovely place to hike although it can get hectic in the morning with everyone getting in since you can only get here by driving. So parking can be a buzz killer. When you enter, there is a parking house and where you pay the entry fee and get the receipt. Pls make sure u keep the receipt as the parking wardens (villages) would want to verify you have paid.

Once you embark on the hike, within the 15 minutes if you are on a leisurely pace, you will find the toilets as well as entry to the small waterfall. There are many who are there to enjoy the water and company. So you should be able to navigate there purely listening to the sounds of camaraderie.

Otherwise if you take your time and hike all the way up, you can be rewarded well for your effort. There are 2 particular spots near the peak where the views are amazing. Many don't make it through all the way to the top and miss out on the views.

Further from the peak views will be the site of the telecom towers which is not accessible and can be eerie especially if you are alone. The whole track is actually made so as to allow the staff to get to the towers. So the whole stretch is tarmac although you can veer off the beaten track especially if you are feeling adventurous.

Once you are done with the trek you are actually not too far off Pontian where the famous wantan mee awaits which is perfect after hike meal for those craving for some Chinese food.

Overall this is not bad a place to be with friends or family, unfortunately though maintenance is minimal even though there is an entry fee in part because the cleaners are not that conscious but more importantly because the users are not civic minded enough to date. Definitely cannot compare to any Japanese hiking trails but it is as good as it...

Hiking elevation (600m) distance (4km probably). Waterfall total : 3. Alright let me explain in detail now. if you cane for hiking here, even in the google map said open 8am, just came here at 7am its already open. so anyoyplan to came here for hiking, can come early. take around 1 to 1 1/2 hours hiking for a normal speed. you will be hiking on a road, tar road. ao better use running shoes etc. you will meet many monkey during the hiking. worry not they will not disturb you unless you brought plastic bag. they are keen to steal plastic bag! so don't bring any plastic bag. the view on top 600m is beautiful. descending will probably take around 25-40 mins of you walk faster while descending maybe 20 can reach bottom already. after hiking you might want to dip yourself in the waterfall! very cold water fall here!. there are 3 waterfall here. if you just came down after descending, the 3rd waterfall, the highest one, you need a little bit jungle trekking but not so much as there is already a path so just follow. the you will find the waterfall. the other 2 is just below it. have fun! REMINDER! If you came for waterfall, came around April -July when the weather is hot. don't came when the season is raining. the place is closed during that...

Good for beginners and intermediate hiking trail. There are several trail into the jungle. One of the most easy one are through the telecommunications road up to the tower. On top of the road is the army reserved camp which is not accessible. Before the army camp there is a telecommunications tower. It can be accessed by the the side trail. Behind the site, it is the entrance to the famous Blue Lagoon Lake. (Check Point 6).

The second one is through Hutan pelajaran. Just a few meters away up from the Public Toilet is the entrance to the trail. From there you can choose longer trail or shorter trail. The longer trail also lead to a big Boulders that is far stretch to Ulu Choh jungle. You definitely need a guide.

Third is through the trail beside the main gate, however there are at least three junctions need to pay attention (Check point 10). You might be circling if you don't have a guide. The trail leads to entrance of Hutan Pelajaran and a water fall.

Fourth trail is the trail along the waterfall. You need guide to...
