Gunung (Mount) Lambak and the road to Kluang...

Continued from Linggiu, the site of an ancient Malay kingdom now taken over by Singapore? .


Once done at Linggiu dam it's time to enter the district of Kluang...


While the district itself is already close to Bandar Tenggara and Linggiu, the town of Kluang is still a distance away. To gauge the distance one could refer to a main landmark of the town, the 1,600-feet-plus-high Gunung (mount) Lambak which stood at its fringes seen in the background...



To my right, that is towards the east one could see the twice as high Gunung Belumut which stood near the borders of the districts of Kota Tinggi and Mersing.


As one gets nearer to town, Gunung Lambak looks more prominent...



Why, even the signboard mentions the mountain alongside the town of Kluang, never mind that Gunung Lambak might not be that tall to some...




For it is still an imposing sight around...












We soon approached the foothills of Gunung Lambak...







About 2 to 3 kilometres later one could see the main junction to reach the mountain...















Here's Gunung Lambak from the town of Kluang. For me, it is always in memory as the first mountain I've ever climbed up to the top, when I was studying in Form One and entering the age of 13 some 27 years ago!
