    1. If you are coming from Singapore, follow North-South Highway exist from Simpang Pulai Toll, Turn right towards Simpang Pulai town and turn right again towards Cameron Highlands. Drive another 20 KM you will see Kg. Pos Slim on your right. (N4.57039 E101.27902)

      Park your car before the bridge, the trail head started from the entrance of the Orang Asli Settlement.

      Hike a mountain guide is recommended.

    1. As far as I understand, it doesn't require permit. Some.of my friends went without guide as well.

      We did hired a guide last round and the guide just inform them we do day hike.
