Gunung Besar Hantu, also known as Gunung Antu Besar, is situated in Jelebu, Negeri Sembilan, near the border of Pahang State, West Malaysia. Standing at 1,462 M above sea-level, it is the highest mountain in the State and is one of the mountains located at the tail end of the famous Titiwangsa Range of Peninsula Malaysia.
Trekkers have to travel to Kampung Chennah in Jelebu, via Kuala Klawang town in order to go to the mountain. At the village, four-wheel-drive vehicles will take you in a rough and bumpy roads until the Lata Kijang camp. Lata Kijang is one of the beautiful and highest single drop waterfalls in Malaysia.
The hike up to Kem Orkid is about 900 metres above sea level. The climb begins by scaling 339 steps at a slope that inclines about 80 degrees, from the Lata Kijang waterfall. It takes about 3 to 4 hours, negotiating the sometimes flat and occasionally steep slopes. Kem Orkid got its name from the numerous wild orchids growing around the camp which is sandwiched between two rapids. From the camp, the peak of Gunung Besar Hantu can be clearly seen.
Watch out for strong gusts of wind and slippery tracks in the final ascent. The presence of dwarf and bonsai plants indicates that the peak is close and the climb is almost done. The soothing panoramic view of areas in Pahang, Negeri Sembilan, Kuala Lumpur and Selangor makes the arduous climb worth every step.

Hi, i’m from Singapore, and would like to arrange a hiking trip to Gunung Besar Hantu too. Would you please tell me how i might go about arranging for a guide(if you think i need one), and also, the easiest way to get there without a private vehicle.
Yo bro, sorry for the late reply. The easiest way to get there by public transport is to take KTM train from either SG or JB to Negeri Sembilan. You need to hire the local guide there. The guide will then get a 4WD for your group. One 4WD can easily transport not more than 10 pax. The 4WD covers the journey to and fro, from the railway station to Lata Kijang Waterfall, the entrance to Gunung Hantu Besar. A 2D/1N is enough for the trip unless you really want to relax and enjoy the waterfall. Some group stayed a night at the Waterfall …
Regards

Hi. I’m from klang. I’m interested to arrange a hiking to gunung besar hantu with my group. May you tell me how to book the 4wd and guide for the trip? How much is the cost?
HI Pactrex,
Where can I find the local guide (Asli?) and hence the 4WD arrangement? Can this trek still be done as I’ve read there was huge flood washed away everything in its path… Is Gunung Besar still ok to trek?
Thanks
