Welcome to Endau Rompin!

by bpacker

Welcome to Endau Rompin, one of the oldest rainforests in the world* and only a couple of hours away from Singapore or Kuala Lumpur. Not many folks know this but the rainforest over here in Johor is believed to be even older than the Amazon or the Congo. But the lack of publicity is proving to be a boon as this place is not as commercialised as Taman Negara nor as crowded. Join me as I journey from Singapore to Endau Rompin on a train!*The rock formations date back some 248 million years

Gunung Ledang, Waterfall

by muddybok

This waterfall is located at one of the mountain resort in Johor State of Malaysia. The waterfalls at Hutan Lipur Gunung Ledang are awesome & next drop after the 'pool' shown in the picture will be easily 150M height.There is one gate next to the pool (on the right) will be the gateway for those who want to hike the mountain. Water will be quite scare at certain points between camp sites. Be sure to bring enough water or chlorine pills for the trip.The Gunung Ledang has it legendary tale where King of Melaka is dying to marry the Princess of Gunung Ledang (Puteri Gunung Ledang) & almost given in for all the condition stated by princess. The king finally had to forgo the wedding plan because one of the conditions is to draw one bowl of the prince's blood. In the olden day, that simply means to kill the prince (his son).

Kluang - Hinterland

by SLLiew

Kluang is a mid size town in the center of Johor state.We drove there and stay overnight to have an early start to Endau Rompin National Park. It was a 4WD and took us from Kluang through an oil palm plantation before reaching the gateway of the park.Kluang is a great place to have a sumptious meal before you head for camping food as we did for a few days of lowland jungle trekking along the rivers and living in tents.

Muar - Estuary town

by SLLiew

Muar is located close to Melaka. In Malay, "Muar" means river estuary.In the past, when there was no bridge, there was a ferry that brought passengers and cars across the Muar River. The town still has many prewar double storey terraced shoplots and worth a walkabout in town. Just a nice stop if you are driving from Melaka to Johor Bahru or Kukup along the coastal route.

Batu Pahat - Coastal Town

by SLLiew

Batu Pahat, at one time also called Bandar Penggaram, is located along the Straits of Melaka and halfway between the Johor Bahru and Melaka."Batu" means stone and "Pahat" means chisel in Malay. So the name of the town is said to be derived from a quarry nearby. The town at one time was known as "Hatyai of the South" for infamous night entertainment.We stopped at the local Glutton Square for supper, for a local famous Chinese style noodles.

Yong Peng - Rolling hills

by SLLiew

On the old highway, it is fun to drive to Yong Peng. Suddenly the road become like a roller coaster, up and down and up and down following the hilly terrain.Yong Peng has been a must-stop in Johor until the North South Highway was completed. It is a pottery center where you can get factory price decor of statues or animals for your interior house or gardens. Flower pots come in all shapes, sizes and colors too.Yong Peng also have several places selling fishballs to buy back or to eat.

Danga Bay - the latest attraction in town

by sklc

If you go in the day time, take the roller blades with you or bring your kids to the playground, sundial and wading pool. If you're hungry, there's plenty to bite at the Bay Leaf foodcourt and International Restaurants... I personnally recommend the Italian Lazio.If you are a sports enthusiast, there's watersports (jetski), extreme park and a radio car trek. Hot and sweaty? Cool down in the evening and let the live bands jazz you to the soothing local and international tunes.By the way, ladies, there is shopping at the makeshift bazaars and the Festive Street Mall.Maybe you should just buy one of the condominums by the bay and return every year :) After all, Danga Bay is also sometimes referred to as the Vision City of the South.

Puteri Gunung Ledang

by muddybok

You "won't see" Puteri Gunung Ledang, but you will be surprise that most people in Malaysia knows the legend of Puteri Gunung Ledang.In fact, my dad's house overlook the Gunung Ledang & I grew up so familiar with the mountain & its surroundings.Gunung Ledang (a.k.a. Mount Ophir)The park is now declared as National Park (since 2 years ago) and hunting, cutting of trees, burning of bushes is not allowed within the park.

Johor Bahru (JB) - State Capital

by SLLiew

JB is a busy city with everyone seemingly trying to get into Singapore or out of Singapore to Malaysia.There is a nice coastal road overlooking Tebrau Straits across to Singapore. Going westward, you will pass by many majestic buildings on the hillside on your right including the Masjid Sultan Abu Bakar which was built in 1900. JB is a major bus terminal to other parts of Malaysia like Kuantan, Melaka, Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh and Penang as well as across to Singapore. It is Peninsular Malaysia's southern gateway and Johor State capital.
