"It is Johor's highest mountain and offers visitors crystal clear rivers and breathtaking waterfalls amidst tranquility, in an unspoilt environment."
Standing at 1,267m, Gunung Ledang (Mount Ledang) is Johor's highest mountain and it can be accessed both from Johor (Sagil) and Melaka (Asahan). The journey to the top will take approximately five hours through the dense jungle.
Among the locals, Gunung Ledang (formerly Mt Ophir) is more well known for its mysterious reputation rather than as a natural attraction. At the mention of this mountain, stories of the legendary Puteri Gunung Ledang, entwined with tales of supernatural encounters easily come to mind.
But mysticism aside, the Ledang's natural beauty, with its challenging mountain trails, icy waterfalls and varieties of flora and fauna, is able to enchant both believers and skeptics alike. Its breathtaking waterfalls known as Puteri Waterfall; make for popular picnic spots, especially on weekends and public holidays, while the breathtaking view from the summit lures thrill seekers to scale this mountain. Various amenities, including rest shades, dressing rooms, camping sites, food stalls and car parks are provided here.

Getting there
Take the Muar-Segamat bus and step off at Sagil. Some buses stop at Gunung Ledang. Then you have to do another one km walk. If you drive your own car, head for Tangkak (in Muar district), or Segamat town (in Segamat district). The entry to the mountain is near Sagil along the Tangkak - Segamat trunk road.

Just pay RM4.00 to Forest Department you can see every thing. " by Abdul HalimAbu Bakar
"Tempat yang menarik untuk di kunjungi
bagi para pendaki. Selain puncak
gunungnya yang menarik, kita juga
dapat menyaksikan tempat menarik
seperti antaranya Kolam Anak Gajah
dan Air Terjun Puteri. Sayangnya
tempat ini pada kunjungan aku dahulu
sepanjang pejalananku ke puncaknya
mendapati terdapatnya banyak sampah
sarap yang dibuang oleh orang yang
tidak bertanggungjawab. Kenapa jadi
bergini. Bermalam di puncak adalah
satu pengalaman yang amat indah
disamping di awal paginya untuk turun
jika benasib baik kita dapat menghayati
suasana matahari terbit yang amat
mengagungkan ciptaan tuhan. Untuk
yang tidak gemar mendaki bolehlah
mandi di air terjun di bawah." by abid
"Pertama kali saya mendaki pada tahun 1989 keadaan gunung sunguh bersih tapi sekarang jauh berbeza sampah yang banyak disamping pokok pokok yang ditebang trek baru yang dibuka sesuka hati mengakibatkan banyak pokok pokok yang ditebang atau dicantas perlu ada satu tindakan diambil untuk menyelamatkan g ledang daripada menjadi kawasan pembuangan sampah dan agar generasi akan datang dapat minikmati keindahan gunung dan hutan yang sedia ada " by JAAFAR BIN MOHAMED
