A
most
beautiful
and
mysterious
forest.
The
4X4
Jeep
we've
hired
was
the
best
decision
we've
made
as
we
weren't
sure
whether
to
drive
on
our
own
or
not.
Our
local
driver
-
guide
was
an
amazingly
knowledgeable
guy
who
could
point
out
all
the
exotic
plants
in
the
forest
and
more
info
on
everything
else.
As
of
Feb
2024,
the
Mossy
Forest
entry
rates
for
a
local
is
RM
10/person
and
RM
30/adult
foreigner.
Our
driver
had
also
stopped
the
vehicle
to
admonish
a
group
of
visitors
who'd
stopped
by
the
side
of
the
trail-
picking
off
the
delicate
mosses
off
the
side
of
the
mountain.
He
explained
how
the
mosses
will
not
survive
in
any
other
weather
outside
of
the
area,
plus
the
immeasurable
damage
done
to
the
mosses
picked.
The
board
walk
trek
takes
about
a
quick
1
hour
to
complete,
but
might
take
more
if
you're
a
photo-enthusiastic
person
(like
myself).
The
forest
is
amazing,
mysteriously
half
shrouded
in
clouds,
earning
it's
name
:
Garden
in
the
Clouds.
Here's
the
not-so-nice
bit
most
first-timers
won't
know
about
driving
to
Mossy
Forest
:
Unless
you're
driving
a
pick-up
truck,
a
4WD
or
4X4,
do
not
use
your
own
vehicle
to
climb
up
this
treacherous
road.
A
normal
car
that
experiences
any
problems
along
the
way
will
have
to
pay
a
minimal
fee
of
RM
1k
for
towing
only,
not
to
mention
inconveniencing
the
rest
of
the
visitors
on
the
trail
line
that
could
cause
a
jam
that
can
last
hours.
One
normal
van
reportedly
had
2
tires
loosing
air,
only
to
find
sharp
stones
embedded
into
them.
We
personally
saw
a
sedan
went
through
multiple
potholes
(nightmare
for
suspensions)
and
then
skidding
on
certain
parts
going
up,
while
holding
back
all
the
other
4X4s.
Some
of
the
pot
holes
(and
there
are
alarmingly
many!)
are
a
few
inches
deep,
few
inches
wide.
There
are
also
cracks
and
splits
on
the
path
about
3/4
of
the
way
up,
with
most
stretches
tilting
to
the
side.
The
path
is
also
very
small,
making
navigation
hard
if
drivers
are
not
confident
in
handling
a
two
way
traffic
on
such
narrow
roads.
Some
corners
and
narrow
turnings
have
sharp
drops.
Overall,
if
you
can,
hire
a
4X4
driver
to
bring
you
around.
Less
stress
of
damaging
your
own
car,
and
being
able
to
enjoy
the
whole
ride
in
the
local
country
way.
