Gunung Hitam and Gua Jepun

Hiking Gunung Hitam and Gua Jepun on Saturday, 6 August 2022 ... Team Lead was Lee Wai Yin. This is a good and challenging mountain for training as the trails keep going up and up (not for beginners).

One way to the G. Hitam peak is about 4 hours; Gua Jepun is about 500 meters further away. While there is no view at the peak of Gunung Hitam, the Gua Jepun is a fascinating sight to behold: the biggest boulder was resting on three smaller boulders. 

Permit is required to hike this mountain; trailhead car park charges RM10 per car.

Gunung Hitam:

Maximum elevation = 1,220m;

Trailhead elevation = 98m;

Difference = 1,122m;

Distance one way = 6km.
