Gunung
Ledang is commonly known as among the locals for its mystical
character and as a camping destination rather than a hill resort.
Steeped in legends and folklore, the mountain holds awe-inspiring experiences for many visitor up the mountain. Tales of supernatural encounter and visions of the legendary mountain princess, Puteri Gunung Ledang are not infrequent among believers of the `twilight zone'. Mysticism aside, the mountain is a natural beauty with its challenging mountain trails, icy waterfalls, cascades, diverse birdlife, flora and fauna. Straddling the Johor/Melaka border, Gunung Ledang is the highest mountain in the two southern states and can be accessed either via the Melaka or Johor route. The mountain's plateau-like summit peaks at 1,276m above sea level, and offers a panoramic view of the Straits of Melaka and Sumatra coastline on a clear day. Gunung Ledang is ideally-suited for picnickers, nature lovers, birdwatchers, rock-climbers and jungle trekkers and those who seek nature in its raw splendour. Gunung
