**\*If interested, please whatsapp** [wa.me/+6588842635](wa.me/+6588842635) **or +65 8884 2635! We have limited permits and must be applied in advance. Sign-ups *are only confirmed after contacting us and joining the WA group! \**** Gunung Ledang, or commonly known as Mount Ophir (1,276m) is the highest mountain in Johor and almost the most climbed mountain there. This is a good step-up hike for those who are looking to progress to tougher hikes after Gunung Datuk or are training or preparing for Kinabalu/Nepal etc. **Who is this for?** It serves as a good training or progressive hike for those who wish to do more hiking. Most do it as training for other treks, like Kinabalu, or Nepal. **How tough is it/How fit do I have to be?** It is twice as long as Gunung Datuk. The trek is around 4-5h up and 3-4h down, making it a total of 9h. The total elevation is around 1,000m up and down. It can be quite tiring on your legs. It is generally tropical forest trail, with some rope portions, ladders and rock faces. It can be quite fun to go through the different terrain with the need to use your hands at some points. However, if you have done Gunung Datuk before, the terrain is not that much of a surprise. The tough part is only the duration. This is good for people who have some level of fitness, if not it will be fun for those who are first time in Malaysia! **What happens if I am slow?** There is a 1 guide to 7 hikers ratio. There is also a cut-off timing to the summit, if you fail to make it you will have to turn back! So far everyone I've brought made it =). Do note if you descent past a certain time, there is a penalty. How many pax for the trip to happen? Minimum **12 pax** to start the trip! Once confirmed, a Whatsapp group will be set up. **Estimated Itinerary:** (Saturday) \~12.30 am : Meet @ Marsiling MRT 1.30 – 4am : Transport to Gunung Ledang via Tangkak 5.00 am : Breakfast at Tangkak 6.30am : Tangkak – Gunung Ledang National Park 7.00 am : Arrival @ National Park counter – Registration & Tagging items (checking in) 8.00 am : Start climbing to the top 12.00 pm : Arrive at the peak (safety time at the peak until 2.00 pm) 1.00 pm : Descend back to the base 4.30 pm : Arrive at the park, clear the items and wash up. 5.00 pm : Leave. 5.00 pm – 8.30pm : Dinner at Tangkak and head to Singapore/Dinner (own expense) at JB ***Itinerary is subject to changes based on conditions and group speed and trek leader's discretion*** **\*You may leave your non-hiking items on the bus\*** Price: $165 per pax for all other nationalities Malaysian: $150 Price includes: 2-ways Transport Mountain Guide by the National Park All associated Park Permits/ Fees Mountain Insurance by the Park LMT Trek Leader LMT Info-Kit Price excludes: All Personal expenses/Meals Visa Application (if any) Personal Travel Insurance Other personal expenses/Late Fee for Descent This event is organized by LITTLE MONSTERS TRAVEL PTE LTD Travel Agent Licence No: 03117 Contact : +65 88842635 Email: info@littlemonsterstravel.net Some additional questions: 1. How long is the ride to Mount Ophir A: It takes only around 3-4h from Singapore 2. The journey to Ophir only takes 3 hours, why do we set off so early? A: This is so that we can save money on accommodation/driver cost/taxi to MRT station. This also means there is a lack of sleep, so try to sleep in the vehicle! Bring a travel pillow! 3. Are there shower or toilet facilities at the park? A: Yes there are but basic. Expect using a hose/bucket. Please bring a change of clothes and shower when you are down from Ophir. No smelly people in the vehicle! 4. What do I have to look out for? A: There are mosquitoes and leeches sometimes, depends on the weather. 5. Where is dinner? We would have dinner in Tangkak at a cheap and nice chinese restaurant, if there are dietary concerns there are other options around the area also.

The intention of this trip is to do a good half day hike, and then have a good meal and back to Singapore. Do note there is only 1 transport, and there might be R&R elements post hike! **Background** Bukit Payung whole trail can take around 4-6h, depending on the speed. It also acts as a good starting hike for beginners or first-timers, and often used as a training hike for those who are bored of the other hikes in the region. It is not technically difficult, but require some amount of walking. It is comparatively easier than Angsi. **{Leisure Hike Series}** The leisure hike series is one which focuses on hikes that are shorter, does not require one to take an overnight transport, has more time for food and other activities. The hike is not necessarily easy. It is important to be open-minded and sporting enough to embrace challenges! There are mosquitoes and leeches at times =) **[Hike Information]** We will aim to do all the peaks. The hike takes a total of 4-6hs. Fast ones can take even less time. It can be muddy at times, 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 various summits have nice scenery and photo opportunities, especially on the rocks/boulders. Just be careful when taking photos! It can be quite exposed so get sunblock or a hat! 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. Here is the estimated itinerary: \~5.00am - 6am: Meet Marsiling MRT, depart for Bukit Payung 9.00am - Breakfast, or breakfast on the go.

The only Metro Park with a fire tower! **History** [Scioto Grove Metro Park](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/scioto-grove/) officially became the 19th park in the Columbus and Franklin County Metro Parks system when it opened to the public on May 6, 2016. Located along a scenic bend of the Scioto River in Grove City, just south of Columbus, the 620-acre park was designed to blend preservation with modern recreation. Long before it became a park, this river corridor served as a vital footpath and trade route for Indigenous communities. Decades later, the mature forests and dramatic river bluffs caught the eye of conservationists looking to expand regional green spaces. The grand opening was a major milestone, drawing over 19,000 visitors in its very first weekend. The creation of the park was made possible through a sequence of land acquisitions and strong community partnerships. In October 2009, Franklin County voters approved a critical property tax levy that funded the initial purchase of 66 acres. Shortly after, the City of Grove City generously donated nearly 193 acres of land, previously known as Talbot Park, to anchor the project. Additional parcels were acquired using state grants from the Clean Ohio Conservation Fund, successfully closing the gap between properties by December 2012. This collaborative funding model ensured that pristine wilderness areas remained completely protected from commercial development. From its inception, the park aimed to introduce innovative amenities to the regional park system, most notably the concept of "urban backpacking". Through a key partnership with the outdoor gear retailer REI Co-op, the park established the scenic REI River Trail. This trail features five rustic, reservation-only campsites along the river, specifically designed to give newcomers a safe place to practice backpacking close to home. Additionally, planners prioritized making the park fully pet-friendly, allowing leashed dogs across all trails and areas. This open-pet policy uniquely distinguished Scioto Grove from many other traditional Columbus Metro Parks. As the park grew in popularity, community members established special commemorative landmarks to honor local lives. In June 2019, a dedicated memorial garden was unveiled near the park entrance in memory of Reagan Tokes, an Ohio State University student. The serene space features a central pond bordered by bright blue flowers, representing her favorite color. A primary buckeye tree stands alongside a dedicated plaque, surrounded by four additional buckeye trees to represent her immediate family members. This addition transformed a portion of the park into a meaningful place for community reflection, healing, and peace. The historical depth of the park took a significant leap forward with the relocation of a massive piece of Ohio history. In August 2023, Metro Parks officially unveiled the Keystone Forest Lookout Tower, which had been carefully moved from Jackson County, Ohio. Originally constructed in 1942 by the Aermotor Windmill Company, the 82-foot-tall metal structure spent decades guarding southern Ohio’s vast forests from devastating wildfires. Workers painstakingly disassembled, re-galvanized, and reassembled the historic landmark at Scioto Grove. Today, visitors can climb its 111 steep steps to experience a panoramic view stretching all the way to the downtown Columbus skyline. **Map of the Park** Here is a [map of Scioto Grove](https://www.metroparks.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/SGR-map_1980px_2026.jpg). **Summary** We will hike around 5 miles on the Overlook, REI River, Mingo, and Arrowhead Trails. While the configuration of the trails can lead us to occasionally taking longer hikes than at other parks, Scioto Grove is not generally a very strenuous place to hike. If you use hiking poles and inadvertently forget them, this is not a park where you're likely to end up caring that much. That said, Scioto Grove is one of the better Metro Parks for hiking as well as other things. They are the only Metro Park with five camping areas where you can literally pitch a tent and sleep for the night. You must contact the park and reserve these in advance; they are however free. **Where We'll Meet** We'll meet at the Arrowhead Picnic Area, near the restrooms and playground. Arrowhead is the main picnic and parking area of the park, and it also has the only water fountain at Scioto Grove. **After the Hike** Afterward, we will head over to [Grove City Brewing](https://www.grovecitybrewery.com/) for [drinks and food](https://www.grovecitybrewery.com/menu). They have pretty good hamburgers. I was mortified to discover that I've never had their [Grove City Hooyah](https://www.beermenus.com/beers/486553-grove-city-hooyah) before, but I will correct that during this event. The actual address of the brewery is [3946 Broadway, Grove City, OH 43123](https://www.google.com/maps/place/3946+Broadway,+Grove+City,+OH+43123/@39.8836912,-83.0919635,16z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x88389b3a28d0f4ad:0x3d85c41f608406c6!8m2!3d39.8836912!4d-83.0919635!16s%2Fg%2F11g8dh6h1_?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTAwOS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D). We should be there by 5 if you can't make the hike and just want to join us for drinks.
