Gunung Panti is situated a few km north of Kota Tinggi in Johor, Malaysia, and stands at 531Mt. It is a perfect trek for a day trip from Singapore. The driving distance from Singapore is around 1.30 hours, however, if you consider the checkpoints and immigration it would be around 3 hours to reach there. The hike one way is around 5-10 Kms. The hike is strenuous though short. Gunung Panti is across the secondary rainforest and the path is muddy and full of trees and its roots.
A one-way trek takes only around 2 to 2.5 hours, making it a 4-5 hours round trip, hence Gunung Panti is many hikers’ favorite leisure day hike on a Sunday morning. It’s famous among local hikers as the entrance is free and it’s short yet steep enough to pose some level of challenge, making it a good training ground for those looking to summit higher, more difficult mountains.
When it rains, the level of difficulty of the Gunung Panti trek changes from simple to moderate to difficult. The trail becomes very muddy, slippery, and sticky. A lot of leeches come out and are in a major lookout for human blood
