They serves very simple and local Malaysian breakfast such as the Elephant Coffee, kaya & butter toast, soft-boiled eggs, ready packed Nasi Lemak and Mee Siam.

#johorbahrutrip Hiking **Gunung Ledang** (aka Mount Ophir) isn’t a walk—it’s a **full-on jungle negotiation** with gravity, sweat, and the occasional monkey judge. But ohhh, when those clouds part at the summit? *Magical.* Here’s how to survive (and love) Johor’s legendary mountain. **First Reality Check**: The **"3KM" marker** is a liar. Those switchbacks feel like a StairMaster set to "vengeance mode." My legs were *audibly sobbing* by Km 2. **Jungle Magic**: - **Waterfalls** with pools so clear you’ll question if they’re filtered (they’re not—nature just shows off here). - **500-year-old trees** wrapped in vines like grandpas in scarves. - The **smell**: earthy dampness + wild ginger flowers = best natural aromatherapy. **"Oops" Moment**: I tried to **feed a macaque** my trail mix. Big mistake. He called his *entire family*, and suddenly I was in a *Planet of the Apes* reboot. 🐒 **Secret Spot**: Near Km 4, there’s a **hidden viewpoint** off the main trail (look for pink ribbons). The reward? A private cliff-edge panorama *without* the summit crowds. **Post-Hike Feast**: The **kampung-style nasi lemak** at the base—coconut rice with *ikan bilis* so crispy, it could wake the dead. Eat it sprawled on the grass like a victorious (exhausted) warrior. **Climb Smart Itinerary**: ⏰ **5:30 AM**: Start in cool darkness (headlamp required!). ⏰ **8:00 AM**: Swim at **Puteri Falls**—ice-cold therapy for screaming muscles. ⏰ **12:00 PM**: Summit selfie (if clouds cooperate). **Survival Kit**: - **Trekking poles** (your knees will thank you). - **2L water** (dehydration is *not* a vibe). - **RM50 cash** for guides/meals (mandatory for summit attempts). Gunung Ledang doesn’t just test your fitness—it **rewires your soul**. And yes, I *did* whisper *"never again"*… while secretly planning my next climb. 🙃

have you tried mee bandung udang at Bandar University Pagoh? it’s very delicious. the mee bandung is a traditional local food in Muar. this mee bandung udang is special because it’s contained five big shrimp 🍤. Bandung noodle dishes are quite synonymous with the state of Johor, especially in Muar. This is because mee bandung actually comes from Muar. Its authenticity is said to be found only in this district after being passed down from family members for generations. If you happen to visit an interesting place in Muar, don't miss the chance to enjoy this delicious dish. Mee bandung in every state, but the taste of mee bandung in Muar is a different story. The delicacy of this dish lies in its thick, sweet, and full of flavor sauce. More exciting if added with gearbox bones. #food #meebandung #deliciousfood #awesomepic #foodie

Getting there: Gunung Ledang National Park lies just inside Johor's border with Melaka state, about 30 km from the town of Muar. I would recommend to go by car. Highlights: The mountain is 1276m high. It is not an easy hike. You will need to take around 5-6 hours to hike to the summit. There are some steep rocky faces to negotiate with the aid of ropes. If you are not a frequent hiker, you may try the other trail as well. Personally I have taken the 20 minute trek along stone pathways to the Puteri Waterfalls. It is a cascade of about 60m with pools and a pleasant picnic and bathing area further downstream. 🤩 Entrance: To enter the park at the Gunung Ledang Resort entrance you have to pay RM2 per car and RM1 per person. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hike difficulty: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #createwithtrip #naturewonder #johortrip #hiketrail
