Mount
Ophir (Gunung
Ledang), Johor |
|
Known
as Mount Ophir to the British, Gunung Ledang is the highest mountain
in Johor. According to folklore, it was the home of Puteri Gunung
Ledang, a princess who once captivated the heart of the Sultan of
Malacca during the 15th century but turned down his proposal for
marriage by setting impossible demands. She demanded a golden bridge
linking the Sultan¡¯s palace in Malacca to the mountain, jars of
women¡¯s tears, seven trays of mosquitoes¡¯ hearts and seven bowls
of blood from the Sultan¡¯s prince.
There are
trails that lead to the summit of this mountain and at its base is
the Sagil Waterfall, a popular spot for picnickers. Gunung Ledang is
the perfect place for nature lovers, bird watchers, jungle trekkers
and picnickers. Activities here are nature-based, thus suitable for
the adventurous. There are a few options to choose from depending on
one¡¯s level of fitness. Other activities are night trekking,
archery and mountain biking. Camping is also very popular here.
Campsites are available along the trail uphill to Gunung Ledang.
Visitors can also visit the Gunung
Ledang Recreation Forest, an eight-hectare forest reserved as a
sanctuary and a water-catchment area with four waterfalls. A popular
spot for picnics, this park is also a favourite venue for seminars
and work camps. The adventurous can trek up to Gunung Pulai, which
is about 700 metres above sea level. | |
