Hi! I am organizing a hiking trip to Gg. Ledang which will consist of about 30 people and we prefer to camp instead
of putting up a night at a resort. Do you have any recommendations?
Okay, if you want to hike then you must camp. I prefer you and your group to start from Sagil. Sagil Resort. Only 4 to 5 hours then you can arrive at the top. Only 1200meter only. But we authority forbid to camp at the Gunung Ledang summit for security reason. From the PLUS highway take Tangkak exit and headed to Segamat road. Then you will arrive at Sagil at Estate at your left take gate 2. From there you will have to go to the Ranger Station for the climbing arrangement such as licenses,garbage deposit and maps.
Hi~ I live in Taiwan. I plan to visit Gg. Ledang on 20SEp with my friends.
I can’t find the detail infornmation about Gg. Ledang. We play stay one night in Saujana Asahan.
.We will visit Asahan Village. After that we plan spend one night in Gg.Ledang. We are no car.
Does Saujana Asahan can offer those two days ond night package of Gg. Ledang?
Or maybe you can give us some recommendations??
In fact,traffic is a problem for us. It seems no public transfer to Gg. Ledang.
Hope you can give me some advices~~ Tks a lot.
First thing when you arrived at Melaka find Tourism Malaysia office or tourism information centre. We have one at Melaka sentral where your bus will stop when arrived at Melaka. Get from them any free maps or brochures. They can help you to arrange booking and others. If you plan to start from Asahan, from Melaka sentral take a bus and the bus must go to Jasin. Journey to Jasin by bus about 45 to 1 hour. Tickets about RM2.50 per person. From Jasin take a Cab and ask them to Saujana Asahan. Take the cab phone number then you can call the cab again to pick you up when you are done at Gunung Ledang. Other option is you rent a car.
I think staff at Saujana Asahan will arrange your trip to Mount Ledang as police report and other procedure since September will be a rainy a bit in Malaysia. I dont know its okay or not to camp at the peak.
Thank you for your quick reply!But I still have one question.
1.If we take Cab from Jasin to Saujana Asahan, how far is it?
2.It seems will be a rainy in September,Is that possible we go to Gg. Ledang. go and return
in one day without stay in Gg. Ledang. resort? What will you suggestion to us?
How many days do you usually visit to Gg. Ledang. in Malaka?
Tks again!
Gattuso,
Cab from Jasin to asahan will take approx 25kilometer. When you want to start climbing, the guide will tell you when the suitable time to climb. I think when its raining heavily you will wait then start climbing. If the day is clear and weather is good you can climb and return back in one day. If not there will be a certain check point you can camp. 2 day is enough for Gunung Ledang as the mountain is famous for beginner before trying other challenging mountain like Gunung Tahan at Pahang.
