It is fourth highest mountain in the Malay Peninsula, at 2,173 metres.[1] It can be reached in about an hour's trek from the peak of Mount Korbu, the highest mountain of the range and the second highest mountain in Peninsular Malaysia. Due to the close proximity between the two mountains, they are collectively known as Korga among the hiking and mountaineering community.
