What will you experience?
Seaside living, the rustic style: 2 easy yet scenic coastal hikes, 1 night camping by the sea, learn some basic survival skills & cook your own dinner with team effort.

INTRODUCTION
The Selantai and Pulau Mawar hike in Mersing, Johor, is a short yet scenic coastal trail renowned for its dramatic rock formations, crystal-clear blue waters, and tranquil, untouched beaches. The route passes through coastal shrubs, sandy stretches, and rocky outcrops before reaching the iconic “Heaven’s Gate (天堂之门)” rocks at Pulau Mawar—one of the area’s most photogenic spots. It’s an easy-to-moderate hike suitable for beginners, offering beautiful sunrise views and a peaceful, nature-rich escape by the sea.
Drone video of Heaven's Gate: CLICK
People flock to Pulau Mawar undoubtedly for the Heaven’s Gate view – a huge rock arch that opens to the view of the South China Sea. In Malay, it is also known as Gerbang Laut or in Chinese, “天堂之门”, which means “Door to Heaven”. Don’t be deceived by the photo; the actual rock arch is a lot bigger than it looks.

Pulau Mawar is located at the tip of Pantai Mawar beach, just a 30-minute drive north of Mersing Town/Jetty. Many years ago, it was indeed an island separated by a small strait from the mainland. However, after years of alternating high and low tides, a sandbank forms, connecting Pantai Mawar to Pulau Mawar. So, it is not a Pulau, an island anymore – totally accessible on foot!
Bukit Selantai is a short but rewarding coastal hill hike known for its sweeping sea views and peaceful natural setting. The trail climbs gently through light forest and rocky terrain before opening up to panoramic vistas of the coastline, offshore islands, and turquoise waters. Suitable for beginners with a moderate fitness level.

Gunung Lambak (Mount Lambak) is a popular hiking destination located in the Kluang District of Johor, Malaysia, standing at an elevation of 510 metres. It is widely regarded as a beginner-friendly mountain, though it features varied terrain that can still provide a good workout for experienced hikers.

Hiking Overview
The mountain offers several trails ranging from paved roads to steep jungle paths.

The Gunung Lambak Butterfly Route, Johor, that connects the two summits of Gunung Lambak (510m) in a shape resembling a butterfly. This intermediate-to-advanced trail is renowned for its steep, technical terrain, narrow ridges, and dense forest, making it a popular training ground for larger hikes.

Key Features of the Butterfly Route

• Total Distance: Approximately 10 – 12 km (variations exist, with some short-cut routes recorded at 10 km).
• Elevation Gain: Roughly ~ 900+ meters, with steep, non-stop climbs. 👉 A few sections with ropes and tree roots only! Gloves will be good. 👈
• Duration: Typically takes 5–6 hours, depending on pace and trail conditions. 👉 We will start earlier and allow more time for a slower pace. Safety is of utmost importance. 👈
• Highlights: Covers both the North and South peaks, passing through steep, rooted terrain, ridge walks, and dense, scenic jungle.

Route Details

• The "Butterfly" Concept: The route lets you summit both the North and South peaks in one go. You typically go up one summit, descend, and then climb back up the other to complete the "wings" of the butterfly.
• Terrain: Expect dense forest, sprawling tree roots, and muddy trails. Some sections have a 60-degree incline requiring the use of fixed ropes.

Who is Suitable?
Regular hikers, who have hiked in Malaysia's terrain before, will appreciate the beginner-friendly options: Panti, Pulai, Broga, Arong, Blue Lake, Bukit Mor, or the intermediate options like Datok and Angsi. This will be a higher level up your skills. Not suitable if you never hiked in Malaysia jungle terrain before. Parks & Garden not counted.

Local breakfast and pack your own lunch - We will find a suitable food court or kopitam in Kluang town. This explains why we depart early 5 am, from Marsiling. It is ~ 100 km, a 90 - 100-minute drive from CIQ to Kluang town.

We will go for dinner either at an open-air night food street or a Sunday night market, before driving home.
