Gunung Nuang is a 1,493m tall mountain bordering the state of Selangor and Pahang in Peninsular Malaysia.  The mountain is the highest point in Selangor and is part of the Titiwangsa Mountain Range.  Because of its accessibility from Kuala Lumpur, it is a popular hiking trail during the weekends.

Hiking up this Mount Nuang, we will be taking the Kuala Pangsoon route from Hulu Langat, Selangor. The route  estimated time needed for the entire hike is around 10 hours.
