Discover a mystical side of Southeast Asia with a visit to Tangkak. Situated on the northwest side of Johor, this town is the ideal place to begin your journey on Mount Ophir, the region’s tallest mountain in Gunung Ledang National Park. This attraction, also known as Gunung Ledang, is the subject of folklore about a princess whose presence can be felt throughout the forest. Locals and tourists alike can’t help but feel steeped in its magic when hiking the mountain. Hikers will need a guide to get through the terrain to reach the summit, but the stunning views on top and along the way are rewarding. Another place to visit in town is Tangkak Old Theatre, a historical landmark that wows tourists at night. Are you planning to visit soon?
