Next XPDC Gunung Berlumut Kluang Johor


Mount Belumut (Gunung Belumut), standing at 1,010 metres (3,314 ft), is located in the state of Johor, Malaysia. The trek can be completed in one day, while the average climber would take two days one night. Trekking to the summit and back to the foot, takes roughly four hours per way. Due to its popularity, some parts of the trail have been badly eroded. The campsite is also dirtied by inconsiderate climbers who leave their rubbish behind.

Before reaching the summit of Gunung Belumut, climbers will first pass by a 'false summit', where camping overnight is possible in fair weather conditions. From the 'false summit', it's about half-an-hour's trek to the summit. A huge boulder, named the Crown Rock, sits on the summit. The boulder got its name because it looks like a giant crown.
