Gunung Ledang, Mt. Ophir

Formerly known as Mt. Ophir, Gunung Ledang is shrouded in mystery and legend. Besides being a favourite hill retreat for mountaineers and holidaymakers, Gunung Ledang Recreational Forest is also said to be the home of the legendary Puteri Gunung Ledang, a woman who captured the heart of the Sultan of Malacca.

Legends aside, there is also the Sagil waterfall at the base of the mountain, which is a favourite picnic spot. Here, the waters are refreshing and clean, while the environment is tranquil and peaceful.

There are also facilities for visitors like campgrounds, food stalls, changing rooms and so on. There are also tracks for those looking to hike up Gunung Ledang.
