Mount Pulai, Mountain summit in Kulai District, Malaysia.
Description
Mount Pulai rises approximately 654 meters above sea level in the Kulai District region. Its slopes are covered with dense tropical forests featuring Seraya, Keruing, and Meranti trees that form the woodland ecosystem.
History
During World War II, British Commonwealth forces built fortifications on the mountain, including tunnels and an airfield to defend against Japanese forces. These military structures demonstrate the site's strategic importance during the conflict.
Culture
The mountain serves as a vital water source through the Pulai River, which sustains communities across several districts in the region. Local people rely on this river that flows from the slopes to meet their daily water needs.
Practical
Access to the mountain is via a hiking trail that extends about 6 kilometers through the forest network. Visitors should wear proper footwear, bring sufficient water, and allow time for the full climb and descent.
Did you know?
Three telecommunication towers at different elevations on the mountain use a special troposcatter system to transmit signals. These towers serve not just Malaysia, but also reach Singapore and islands of Indonesia with their coverage.
