Gunung Pulai (654m) is another extremely popular mountain with locals and Singaporeans. At the top, you can see a view of Johor Bahru (and some say Singapore). For this trip, we intend to combine it with other areas to make it more interested, such as the "Blue Lake" (actually a quarry) before connecting to Gunung Pulai (654m). For Gunung Pulai, we will take the jungle trail up, and the tar trail down, before heading to Johor Bahru for some good food and R&R. The intention of this trip is to get our bodies moving for a full day of solid exercise and hike, followed by a good dinner and back to Singapore.
The distance and duration for this can be quite long compared to Datuk, so do expect a full day of hiking!
Do note there is only 1 transport, and it is a traverse, a different route up and down. Therefore, we aim to have everyone complete it!
Background
Gunung Pulai (510m) is an extremely popular half-day beginner hike located in Malaysia, about 1.5 hours from Singapore. Many locals and Singaporeans DIY this hike. It also acts as a good starting hike for beginners or first-timers, and often used as a training hike for those experienced!
[Hike Information]
The distance of the trail is ~13km, and the duration is 6-8h (depending on individual speed). You are expected to pack your own lunch and eat along the way.
We will start with the Blue Lake, before connecting to Gunung Pulai via the forest trail, and then down via the tar road.
For Pulai, there are two main routes, the Jungle route (longer route) and the Tarmac Road (shorter route). We always do a traverse, where we go up via the longer route, and descent via the shorter route!
We will be ascending via the jungle trail, where it can be muddy or have fallen trees. However, nothing too steep or too difficult! This hike can be an eye-opener for beginners and will be tiring if you are not used to walking for hours!
The summit has a nice view of the surroundings and greenery! We'll descend via the tarmac road, wash up before heading to JB for R&R.
To confirm, do RSVP and send me a whatsapp message! A Whatsapp group/info-session will be set up. A minimum of 12 pax is needed for this trip to go ahead. Your place is only confirmed once payment is made.
