Gunung Ledang Johor National Park was established in 2005 and is very special they make sure plants and animals are well protected. It holds an expanse of pristine tropical rainforest and serves as a critical water catchment area for both Johor and Melaka.
There are a lot of legends in Gunung Ledang. One of which is centered around the mythical princess, Puteri Gunung Ledang. In the most famous version in Sejarah Melayu: Sulalatus Salatin / The Malay Annals, the princess spurns the advances of the Sultan of Melaka by setting seven impossible demands for her hand in marriage.
The mountain goes by several names. Chinese sailors plying the Straits of Melaka in the 14th century called it Kim Sua, which literally means “gold mountain” in Hokkien. The name “Gunung Ledang” is likely to have been evolved during the reign of the Majapahit empire. In Old Javanese, “Ledang” may be translated as “high”, “faraway”, or “showy”.
While gold has never been found on Gunung Ledang, it is undoubtedly a great treasure of biodiversity and an increasingly important refuge for wildlife.
Gunung Ledang is one of the most popular mountain climbing destinations in Malaysia. They have visitors between 15,000 and 20,000 that attempted to climb the 1,276 meter-high mountain each year. While the summit can be reached in half a day, it is not an easy climb by any means. Those who reach the top can view the panoramic scenes of the plains.
The main entrance to the park, which is also known as Taman Hutan Lagenda, is situated at the southern foot of the mountain, near the town of Sagil in Tangkak district. While most visitors come here to climb the mountain, the park entrance itself is a great place for less strenuous activities such as a picnic or camping trip by the river. It’s a good destination for families, friends or acquaintances to have adventure together. There is a range of accommodation available, including chalets, dormitories, huts that is made of nipa. There are a number of group packages are on offer, with fun activities such as obstacle course, paintball and nature walks.
