Gunung Nuang, or Mount Nuang, the second highest point in Selangor, is among the most popular extreme hiking spots in the state.

Address
Pejabat Hutan Daerah Selangor Tengah,
Tingkat 1, Blok B, Platinum Cheras,
43200 Cheras, Selangor.
Gunung Nuang’s peak straddles the Selangor-Pahang border. The entry point from Selangor is located just ten minutes’ drive from the popular Hutan Lipur Sungai Congkak and Air Terjun Sungai Lepoh, and thirty minutes’ drive from the famous Gabai Waterfalls,
Managed by the Forestry Department of Peninsula Malaysia, facilities at Hutan Lipur Gunung Nuang are well-maintained and there are dormitories and chalets that go for as low as RM20 per night.
On average, 1,200 people climb the mountain each month. Visitors need to register at the ranger station when they arrive at the recreational forest.
Mountain climbers would begin their climb early in the morning and reach the summit within 4 to 5 hours’ time.
Those who just want the climbing experience and yet not push themselves too hard can reach Camp Lolo after a 2-3 hour climb and refresh themselves at a lovely waterfall about 15 minutes away. A refreshing respite after the steep climb along an undulating trail, Lolo Waterfall is considered one of the compulsory stops for hikers.
Better still, if you have a 4WD, you can drive it all the way to Camp Lolo. The ride is bumpy for sure, but it only takes an hour or so to reach the rest huts. Plus, it is another exhilarating way to experience the verdant mountain. Loads of adrenaline pumping fun minus the sweat is guaranteed. Talk about having your cake and eating it, too!
There is no need for guides as the trails are clearly marked. During rainy weather, it is not advisable to climb the mountain as the slopes get very slippery.
Gunung Nuang Recreational Forest is among the most popular extreme hiking spots in the state. It is not really recommended for families because it can be difficult to navigate.
