[2025 Kulai Attraction] Travel Guide for Gunung Pulai (Mount Pulai) (Updated May)

Nice trip and Pool (open pool), Experienced for child. #

Mount Pulai is one very nice place to be close to nature and be energised by the fresh air and view. However, it is a rather steep journey up, challenging your resilience as you progress, as you really won't be able to enjoy the surroundings that much while panting. It will be a nice experience to push yourself to surpass your limit. It takes about 1.5hr to reach the top, to be at the same height as the clouds. We got to see some plants and animals and rare insects which is quite interesting. We visited at 7.30am and by the time we came down at about 11am, it is starting to get packed. So if you want to enjoy some exclusive peace and breeze, it's better to go earlier. It is open Tue to Sun, 7am to 3pm. MUST VISIT!!! #nature #travel #urbanexplorer #mustdo

We went to the cafe after our brunch in Kulai so have no chance to try their mains, but we see the next table having quite good food. Good environment as the entire place is built up by the owner and very stable. If you would love to try out this cafe, please contact them for reservation as it will be booked out during weekend and PH. Note: pricey but worth a try if you love nature Name: Rainforest Tree House Cafe

#johorbahrutrip If you've ever wanted to feel like a **hero in an adventure movie**—complete with misty peaks, jungle waterfalls, and dramatic monkey encounters—then Mount Pulai is your blockbuster waiting to happen. This 654m giant in Johor isn't just a hike; it's a **full-body wake-up call** with a side of breathtaking views. **First Reality Check**: The "trail" is basically a **never-ending staircase** through the jungle. I lost count after 200 steps, but my screaming thighs kept score. The air? Thick with the scent of damp earth, wild ginger, and the faint hope of coffee at the top. **Wildlife Drama**: A **macaque gang** staged a snack heist on my backpack. Note to self: Zippers are no match for determined monkeys. They won my granola bar but I kept my dignity (barely). 🐒 **Secret Waterfall**: About halfway up, there's a **hidden side path** (look for faded blue ribbons) leading to a cascading waterfall. The plunge pool is so cold it'll shock your sweat away—nature's best ice bath! **Summit Reward**: The **Pulai Hill Cafeteria** at the top serves **teh tarik so sweet it could revive the dead** and kaya toast that tastes like victory. Pro tip: Sit on the deck and let the clouds roll over you—it's like sitting in heaven's waiting room. **Survival Itinerary**: ⏰ **6:00 AM**: Start in cool darkness (headlamp essential!) ⏰ **7:30 AM**: Waterfall pit stop (bring a towel) ⏰ **9:00 AM**: Toast your triumph at the summit café **Must-Pack**: - **Trekking pole** (your knees will worship you) - **RM10 cash** (for life-saving tea and toast) - **Ziplock bags** (monkey-proof your snacks!) Mount Pulai isn't just a hike—it's a **love-hate relationship with nature** where the pain fades but the bragging rights last forever. And yes, I'm already planning my next climb... after my legs forgive me. 😉 *Bonus local lore: Old-timers say the mountain's springs have healing powers—bring an empty bottle to fill at the sacred well near the base!*

Nice place to camping with your families. Easy access, friendly owner, clean toilet, nice surrounding, good for camping and picnic if you dont want to go crowded place. You have to book first before you go there. If not the owner wont let you in bcos he limit only to 25 people there. For me maintaining the SOP is more important that crowded place. Got two pool for swimming but doesnt recommend it for kids. It quite deep. One pool for mixed and one for woman. Kids can play at the shallow river under parent watch. For picnic from 9.30am-6pm RM10 - adults per head (13 above) RM 5- kids per head (below 12) For camping only rm70 for 1night, maximum 5person.
