Gunung Nuang via Janda Baik



Its been a while since the last time I climbed Gunung Nuang via Janda Baik and I never put it in writing before.

Gunung Nuang have 2 entrances - via Pangsun in Hulu Langat and via Janda Baik, Bentong Pahang.
The trail from Pangsun is longer and psychology challenged but from Janda baik, it is more nearer - 6.45km one way.

Estimated Duration of Hike
Average hikers may reach the top within 3 hours to 4 hours and descending back to parking lot around 2 hours to 3 hours later.

Overall Track
Trails are clear, wide and have only one direction. Easy to navigate through even if you are a beginner.


Summary Of Hike
Total distance - 12.9km
6.45km one way


Trailhead Coordinate

3.303957, 101.887198


Breakfast and Lunch
Eating places and restaurant are aplenty along the way to the trailhead.


 Parking

Last time we can park our car at the narrow road side but now the road side become narrower and being fenced, as such, the only car park in that area is at one of the land owner's. A designated parking area had been built to cater for the needs at RM5 per car. The area equipped with toilet and shower facility. If the car park is full, there is another parking lot at the side - also operated by the same land owner.

Since the parking lot is a fenced area, the problem arise if you arrive early before 6am (I think) because it is locked (I think...). So, please do take some consideration on your travel plan.

The Journey

The parking lot is the trailhead actually. You will need to cross the river.

  2. Hi, i see that youre using ambit3 peak. May i know is the 5-sec gps on your watch is functioning well for 30 hours battery life?

    bcs mine is having problem when it automatically switches to 1 min gps setting in that option thus having high percentage of missing small turns in the gps map. (My 1 sec gps is working fine though).

    1. I'm using suunto ambit 2, its an old model (ancient), to my understanding the battery power will be lesser when you reduce the gps timing
