Activities on Gunung Ledang are adventure and nature-based. Depending on one's level of fitness, there are several option :

AT THE FOOTHILLS

For nature lovers and picnickers, activities revolve around the foothills where the Gunung Ledang Resort and a waterfall is situated.

All visitors need to pass through the grounds of the resort which sprawls on 30 hectares of the mountain site. A nominal fee of RM1.00 per person is payable to the resort which goes towards maintenance of the public facilities, such as changing cubicles, picnic grounds and toilets. Concrete steps with hand railings lead upwards from the Ranger's office at the first stage of the waterfall. This is the most popular area where pools of water are enclosed by huge boulders, forming a natural spot for bathing. On this level, too, are basic cabins for overnight stays.

Beyond this, right up to the summit are rapids, rock cliffs, caves, interesting flora and fauna. Birds are plentiful and one should bring along a pair of binoculars. The path uphill can be treacherous, especially during rains, when loose stones and slippery tracks make trekking dangerous. Shoes with good grips soles are essential.

For campers, there are several choices of campsites along the trail. Avoid camping too close to the rapid during the rains. Sudden deluges can occur. The summit can also be uncomfortably chilly, especially in the late evening and at night. Bring a jacket. Heavy mists, too, tend to rush and envelop the summit but clear off almost as suddenly. Be alert and do not stray from marked paths.
