Mount Irau

About

Mount Irau (Malay: Gunung Irau) is a high mountain located at the border of Pahang and Perak states, Malaysia. Part of the Titiwangsa Mountains, Irau's summit is 2,110 m (6, 920 ft), making it the highest mountain in the Cameron Highlands region, as well as the 15th highest mountain in Malaysia. Cold and misty mossy forest is the unique characteristic of Irau. One must hike about three hours to reach Irau from the base of the mountain. It takes around 3-4 hours to reach the peak. Usually hikers will park their car at Cameron Square (Basement 2, Free parking) and they will take 4WD ride to go to the starting point of Irau. The Mossy Forest Eco Forest Park is located within the mountain.
