This is a junction to Mossy forest (Cameron Highlands) Less stress of damaging your own car, and being able to enjoy the whole ride in the local country way. Overall, if you can, hire a 4X4 driver to bring you around. Some corners and narrow turnings have sharp drops. The path is also very small, making navigation hard if drivers are not confident in handling a two way traffic on such narrow roads.

There are also cracks and splits on the path about 3/4 of the way up, with most stretches tilting to the side. Some of the pot holes (and there are alarmingly many!) are a few inches deep, few inches wide. We personally saw a sedan went through multiple potholes (nightmare for suspensions) and then skidding on certain parts going up, while holding back all the other 4X4s. One normal van reportedly had 2 tires loosing air, only to find sharp stones embedded into them.

A normal car that experiences any problems along the way will have to pay a minimal fee of RM 1k for towing only, not to mention inconveniencing the rest of the visitors on the trail line that could cause a jam that can last hours. Unless you're driving a pick-up truck, a 4WD or 4X4, do not use your own vehicle to climb up this treacherous road.

The 4X4 Jeep we've hired was the best decision we've made as we weren't sure whether to drive on our own or not. Enjoy.! NGCS Taufiq - Google reviewĪ most beautiful and mysterious forest. Nothing much can be seen if the condition is foggy, but in a clear sky, some forest and mountain peak can be seen. At the end of the walkway, there is a gate entrance to the hiking trails which requires permits and guides. Go to the lookout tower for those photo sessions. It was built to avoid stepping on the moss and killing them. The wooden walkway to see the moss is probably 150-200meters walking distance.

Entrance for locals is 10rm and 30rm (if not mistaken) for foreigners. Once u reach the peak, parking could be an issue as only 15-20 car lots are available, so weekends could be crowded.

Those who feel uneasy or uncertain about driving up there, can always engage a local agent who uses a high performance 4wheel drive car at a cost of 35rm/person. If you have a car, yes, you can self drive to the mossy, it is a bit steep and narrow at a certain location, but not an issue if a normal car can't climb up to mossy.
