JomHiking is Malaysia’s online hiking platform that connects hikers with certified Malim Gunung Perhutanan (MGP) guides. We help you book MGP guides, obtain permits, and organize safe, insured hiking trips across Malaysia.

Not at all! JomHiking welcomes hikers of all experience levels. Whether you're an expert or a beginner, our platform offers options for everyone.

MGPs are licensed forest guides recognized by the Malaysian Forestry Department. They know the trails, ensure your safety, and help obtain necessary permits for hiking.

All MGP guides are licensed and experienced, trained in safety, trail knowledge, and emergency response.

At JomHiking, your safety and experience are our top priorities. Here’s how we handle weather-related situations:

Safety Comes First:  

If there’s severe weather like heavy rain, thunderstorms, or strong winds that may put hikers at risk, we may cancel or postpone the trip. Our guides are trained to assess on-ground conditions and make the safest call.

Flexible Options if Cancelled:  

If we need to cancel due to weather, you’ll get to choose:

- Full refund if you’re unable to reschedule.

- Free reschedule or a voucher for another date with better weather.

Be Prepared:  

- Check the weather forecast before your trip.  

- Bring light rain gear such as a poncho or rain jacket.  

- For light rain, we may still proceed — some hikers even find it more refreshing and fun!

Light Rain? Still On!  

We won’t let a drizzle ruin the adventure! Our hikes continue with extra care in light rain. The jungle scenery becomes more vibrant and cool a unique experience in itself.

We’ll Keep You Informed:

 We’ll notify you ahead of time if any changes are expected due to weather, and you’ll always have a say in how to proceed.

Our difficulty rating is a simple scale from 0 to 10 that provides a quick overview of what you can expect from a hike. We've developed this system to help you choose a trail that matches your skill and fitness level.

0-1 (Very Easy): These are leisurely walks on flat, well-maintained paths. Perfect for beginners, families, and those looking for a relaxing day out.

2-3 (Easy): Gentle trails with minimal elevation gain. They may include some uneven terrain but are generally suitable for most people.

4-5 (Moderate): Hikes with noticeable elevation gain and varied terrain. These require a decent level of fitness and may take a few hours to complete.

6-7 (Challenging): Strenuous climbs with significant elevation and technical sections. These are for experienced hikers who are prepared for a long and demanding day.

8 (Demanding): A true test of endurance with very steep inclines and difficult terrain. These trips require a high level of fitness and mental fortitude.

9-10 (Extreme): Our toughest trails, suitable only for the most seasoned and prepared hikers. These involve intense, multi-day journeys through extreme terrain and are reserved for expert adventurers.

Unfortunately, pets are not allowed due to safety and wildlife regulations.

Yes. Once your booking is confirmed, we will create a WhatsApp group including you and the guide to coordinate the trip.

Essentials include water, snacks, proper footwear, rain gear, and personal medication. Please refer to each trail’s “What to Bring” section for specific recommendations.
