Challenging

Ascend Gunung Besar Hantu (literal translation as "Big Ghost Mountain"), the highest and most challenging peak in Negeri Sembilan.
Background:

This challenging and rewarding trek leads to Gunung Besar Hantu, the highest peak in Negeri Sembilan, and is often compared to Gunung Nuang for its long distance and physically demanding sections. It is not suitable for beginners and is recommended only for hikers with good fitness levels and prior hiking experience.

The journey to Gunung Besar Hantu begins at the Taman Negeri Kenaboi trailhead, with the initial section following an old logging road. As you continue, the trail involves crossing a few streams, including Sungai Kering, where a campsite is located.

As you approach the summit, you'll enter a beautiful mossy forest. This is a unique feature for a mountain of this altitude in the region. Upon reaching the peak, you'll find a spacious clearing that offers panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys on a clear day.
