Located in the Panti Forest Reserve about a dozen kilometres from the small town of Kota Tinggi in Johor, Gunung Panti is just about 2 hours drive from Singapore.

The Panti trek is a great introduction for those new to rainforest trekking as it's just a short 2-3 hours to the summit from the trailhead. The descent takes about 2 hrs depending on one's fitness level.

While trekking, sounds of the gibbons and hornbills could be heard, and with luck, you might be able to spot them too. The forest is secondary, having been logged out previously and regrown, but there are still many stately trees around.

To reach the summit area, one has to scramble up a steep rock face up the ridgeline, and with the help of roots, ropes and assistance of your fellow trekkers, it's within the capability of most people ... even the young at heart ( our oldest participant for our last trek is a young 60 years old lady ! ).
