Gunung Ledang National Park, also known as Mount Ophir, is one of Johor’s most renowned natural attractions and a haven for adventure enthusiasts, hikers, and nature lovers alike. The park covers a vast area of lush tropical rainforest, home to an impressive diversity of flora and fauna, including monkeys, exotic birds, reptiles, and a variety of plant species, some of which are endemic to the region. Its main highlight is the challenging trek to the summit of Gunung Ledang, standing at 1,276 meters above sea level, which offers breathtaking panoramic views of Johor, Malacca, and the surrounding landscapes, and the hike itself is considered both physically demanding and rewarding for climbers seeking a sense of accomplishment. Along the trails, hikers can encounter several scenic waterfalls, such as Sagil Waterfall and Asahan Waterfall, ideal for swimming, picnicking, and photography, while rest areas and observation points provide opportunities to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings. The park also supports eco-tourism and adventure activities, including camping, guided treks, birdwatching, and nature photography, with experienced local guides offering advice on safety, trail conditions, and overnight trips. For those who prefer easier experiences, shorter nature trails and picnic areas are available, allowing casual visitors and families to enjoy the park without attempting the summit. Environmental conservation is a key focus in the park, and visitors are encouraged to follow park regulations, respect wildlife, and minimize their ecological footprint to preserve the area’s natural beauty for future generations.
