GUNUNG ANGSI

The highest in state of of Negri Sembilan, although I wouln't call it a mountain. It's height of less than 1000 meter is not considered a mountain. Anyway, the view is wonderful from the summit.

On my personal opinion, Gunung Angsi is the second most spoilt gunungs in Malaysia, after Gunung Ledang. the treks are very wide and erosion is dominant on the treks. Unless the authorities take measure on this, Gunung Angsi will be a waste for agrotourism in Malaysia. I'll rate Gunung Angsi as the hottest gunung both on trek and summit, because of scarce trees available for protection against harmful ultraviolet rays.
