Mount Ophir, also known as Gunung Ledang, rises to 1,276 m within Gunung Ledang National Park in Johor.
Our ascent will be via the Sagil (Lagenda) Trail, a challenging route featuring rainforest trails, steep rocky terrain, stairs, ladders and rope-assisted sections.
One of the highlights — and biggest challenges — is the infamous KFC (Killing Fitness Centre) section.

⚠️ IMPORTANT
This trek is NOT suitable for beginners or participants with a fear of heights.

Participants should be comfortable with:
🪨 Steep and rocky terrain
🪢 Rope-assisted climbing
🪜 Ladder sections
⛰️ Exposure and narrow sections
🥾 Long hours of sustained hiking
🌧️ Potentially wet and slippery conditions

⭐ WHY THIS TREK STANDS OUT!
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🪨 TESTING TERRAIN
Rock faces, ladders and rope sections — especially the infamous KFC — make this much more engaging than a normal trail hike.

🌄 SCENIC VIEWS
On a clear day, the summit rewards your effort with excellent views across the surrounding landscape.

🌳 DIVERSE LANDSCAPE
Expect rainforest, streams, caves, rocky sections and exposed higher terrain.

💪 FITNESS BENCHMARK
A great challenge for hikers preparing for tougher mountain adventures such as Mount Kinabalu or Mount Rinjani.
