Introduction
Gunung Nuang is a 1,493m tall mountain bordering the state of Selangor and Pahang in Peninsular Malaysia. Because of its accessibility from Kuala Lumpur, it is a popular training ground for people who intend to tackle tougher hikes like Gunung Tahan.
There are three hiking routes to the summit of Gunung Nuang.
- Kuala Pangsoon in Hulu Langat, Selangor
- Kampung Kemensah in Gombak, Selangor
- Bukit Tinggi in Bentong, Pahang
From our research, the route at Kuala Pangsoon is more popular and well marked. As we don’t intend to hire a guide and wanted to simplify the transportation logistic, our plan is to hike up and down the same Kuala Pangsoon route. The estimated time needed for the entire hike is 10 hours.
