Background information of Gunung Ledang.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gunung Ledang was well known for its own legends. According to the legends, there were a princess named Puteri Gunung Ledang staying in the mountain. Once, a King(Sultan) tried to propose to Puteri and she accepted the offer but with few conditions. One of the conditions was to build a golden bridge connecting to the Gunung Ledang. However, all the conditions were met by the King (Sultan) except one which was killing the King own son. Therefore, the King gave up.
According to the guider that guide us, there are possibilities to encounter Nenek Kebayan (another form of Puteri Gunung Ledang as she can changes appearance) and also the Puteri herself.
It is a important to maintain a good habit when going to other people places. One should not simply litter and destroying tree. A rumor saying that there would be some certain unexplained punishment by forest guardian if one does not behave well.

the Climbing trail for gunung Ledang.
Info bout climbing ;
According to the local guide, there's a lot hiker got lost in the jungle mostly those who went for climbing without informing local authority.
Generally, a climber need to get permit to enter and another permit to stay overnight (if plan to). Don't worry, permit just cost few Ringgits only.
Main reason to get a permit - is to tell the authority that you are going to climb. In case, you did not return within a period of time, then the authority will look for you.
Gunung Ledang is a well-preserved forest. Climber must deposit some money for rubbish (precaution taken to avoid people throwing rubbish in the forest)
Here goes my experience :
Gunung Ledang has little bit challange but it seems to be difficult for those who seldom climb :D
Ants or Termites ? There are lots lots of that :(
