Trans Jerging (Suku > Irau > Yellow > Pass)
An epic full-day traverse that links four majestic peaks. Journey through Malaysia's most beautiful mossy forests and trace the Perak-Pahang border on this demanding, a legendary challenge for seasoned hikers.
Background:
The Trans Jerging Day Hike is a demanding full-day traverse in the Cameron Highlands, crossing four peaks in one continuous push: Gunung Suku, Gunung Irau, Gunung Yellow, and Gunung Pass. Once a two-day expedition, this route is now attempted as a rigorous day hike. It remains a serious endurance challenge, with no option to turn back once you begin, as the exit lies at the opposite end of the range.
The hike starts with a steep ascent to Gunung Suku, rewarding hikers with 360° views of the Titiwangsa Range. It then continues through Bear Camp and the iconic mossy forest of Gunung Irau, a landscape widely considered one of the most beautiful and enchanted mossy forests in Malaysia. The final section follows the Perak–Pahang border, where old boundary stones can be seen along the trail.
This hike is strictly not suitable for beginners and is best attempted only by experienced hikers who are physically prepared for long hours, technical terrain, and remote conditions.
