Gunung Irau is 9th Highest Mountain in Peninsular Malaysia and it is located at Cameron Highlands. There are 6 checkpoints before reaching the summit. During the hike you will be walking past the beautiful mossy forest (Mossy Paradise) along the way. If you are lucky, you will be welcomed by the rare bloomed Corybas orchid plant. Given the difficulty of this hike, only experienced long-distance hikers (for example, you could hike up Mount Kinabalu or equivalent) should join the event.

Permit and Guide is compulsory. Please note that the trip fee will exclude accommodation and transportation; and you will need to arrange these on your own.
