Titiwangsa Mountains

The Titiwangsa Mountains (Malay: Banjaran Titiwangsa) is the main mountain range in Malaya. It starts in southern Thailand and stretches down the western-central area of Malaya to Negeri Sembilan in the south.

The mountains divide Western Malaya (the West Coast) from Eastern Malaya (the East Coast) and are mostly covered in dense jungle, and are difficult to pass.

The mountains form the border between Perak and Selangor in the west and Kelantan and Pahang in the east.

The highest point of the mountains, and the second highest in all of Malaya (after Mount Tahan), is Mount Korbu in Perak, located just east of Ipoh, and is 2183m tall.

Nature
The Titiwangsa Mountains are one of the most expansive contiguous areas of jungle in Malaya. There is almost no development in the mountains, and the area is mostly protected, such as the Temenggor National Park.

Vast areas of the jungle remain unexplored.
