I went there with bunch of friends trying out hiking in Johor. Check in at one of the budget hotels in Kulai for the night. Early morning went to Gunung Pulai recreational forest located 20 minuets drive from our location. You can also stay at some home stays in Gunung Pulai area. The air was cool and refreshing. We ate breakfast with the one of the best nasi lemak stalls there and afterwords start hiking up to starting point. There was a gate to prevent unauthorized vehical going up since there is a communication tower at the top and well guarded by military personnel. After passing the waterfall section further up there we went through the trail section (Hutan Pelajaran). There is a signboard on your right and we went through and up using the trail all the way till the top. In between the peak there is a big boulder area where you can rest awhile before continuing up and reach the top. The trail will merged into the tarmac and the Gunung Pulai sign would be at the first communication tower with some viewpoint of JB and Kulai. Going done was not easy but surely if you have good footing can easily reach the bottom in no time. We stop at the river and waterfall section and took a cool swim and chill for awhile before heading for lunch in Kulai 8Kati. It was a good hike with good friends. Will repeat again.

Some background about me - 30, unfit (sedentary) and did not train consistently for this hike. Past hiking experience: Bukit Timah Hill, and Huangshan two years ago. I did a 5km run maybe once a fortnight and some occasional static exercises, and it was a miracle that I completed this hike. Please train for the hike or you'll be slow and suffer like I did. It's a steep climb almost all the way. I would say max 10% would be walking and 90% is climbing. This hike is not for anyone who is afraid of heights. We started at 8.30am and made it to the peak only at 2.45pm on the Sagil trail, through KFC. Took our lunch at the summit and started descending at 3.30pm, and we only completed the hike at 7.35pm. Total of 11h, inclusive of 1h lunch break. My tracker says I climbed 236 storeys that day but it was probably more as my tracker has a tendency to undercount. Advice for those who want to attempt this: Hiking poles help a LOT, bring one. Wear dry fit and long pants as it could get muddy, and to avoid getting scratched by the shrubbery. Wear proper hiking shoes with good grip as tree roots could be slippery. Bring sufficient water (2L at least). If you are sensitive to bites, remember the mosquito repellent (I didn't get any bites). Bring also a torch or headlamp in case you are not able to descend before nightfall. Bring a light jacket as the winds are strong and you could get cold at the summit. Planning for the trip Please contact the attraction in advance, you can reserve your spot via whatsapp 60 19-777 2057 as there are restrictions on the number of people per day. Guides are compulsory. For non-Malaysians, it's RM218 per pax for a group of 4 at least. If u have fewer than that and would like the attraction to match you to other smaller groups of hikers, tell them you would like to share the guide. They will match you. The attraction provides a 500ml bottle of water and lunch, which you will have to carry up. Leave some space in your bag for that. You can choose from 3 options, I chose the nasi lemak and it was pretty good. Good luck and have fun!

We hiked up and down in 3hrs on a weekday. Not many people and the locals warned that some paths are quite misleading so it’s better to take the tougher and steeper route up to summit. We did and happy to be able to experience the different terrain. Tree roots and Ropes and all. Very enjoyable hike!

To appreciate the location, see the map. The Asia continents mainland (so exclude islands of Indonesia) extends to the Malay Peninsular. This is the southernmost tip. There is a pier with a metal globe that you can proudly take picture to mark your “Iv been there” experience. You can watch the ships go by in the distant. There is a walkway built on a mangrove swamp for you to experience the swamp jungle. If you are lucky you can catch a glimpse of monkeys above and the mud crabs below. There is a small entrance fee.
