Gunung Lambak is a mountain located in Peninsular Malaysia, the state of Kluang, Johor. It stands at 510m tall, offering a view of Kluang Town at the summit.  

It has been developed as a recreational and tourist attraction called Mount Lambak Recreational Forest. Pathways and wooden bridges make it relatively easy to climb to the summit, and a picnic spot at the base of the mountain has car parking, benches, a small children's playground and toilets. There is also chalet accommodation, camping facilities and a swimming pool.

This almost straight up vertical climb tears your strength and endurance for sure .  The route is extremely rooty and rocky.  In the winter it is also very wet in places with possible ice and snow .  A lot of places it is too steep to run and power hiking takes precedence; there are a few flatter sections that are runnable.  One of my favorite shorter vertical climbs for sure .

This trail is officially listed as a long trek through the Thompson Plateau from Vernon to Mission Creek in Kelowna. Travelling through numerous dense forest-ways, the trail has two open sections that offer stunning views of the valley: The Oyama Repeater and the Grand View. However, if hikers deviate slightly in Wrinkly Face Provincial Park, there is a chance for a view mid-way between these two.
