Itinerary description
Gunung Berembun at 1014m is the southern-most peak of the Berembun mountain range in Negeri Sembilan. The peaks of the range extend on a north-south axis and form the border between Seremban (formerly Sungai Ujong) and Kuala Pilah districts. In the north end is Gunung Telapak Buruk, which at 1093m is the highest peak in the range. There are several aspects that make Berembun a very interesting trek. Firstly, the entire Berembun range is a protected primary forest reserve. As such, the visitor will be entertained with sights of enormous trees, super-sized insects and a huge variety of birds. Indeed it’s a renowned place for bird watching given its accessibility from civilisation. Secondly, the mountain top is also the resting place of a World War II Royal Airforce bomber that crashed on a mission in 1945. The remnants of the plane was discovered in 1996 by the Orang Asli and the remains of the crew recovered for proper burial. The crash site is along the mountain ridge connecting Gunung Berembun to Telapak Buruk (about half-way between them) and can be accessed from either end.
