Geography

Besar Hantu is the highest mountain in the Negri Titiwangsa, the southernmost section of the Titiwangsa Mountains that straddles from the tripoint with the states of Selangor and Pahang down south to the town of Tampin, of which the latter is the geographical southern end of the entire mountain range (see also Mount Tampin).

The mountain is situated within the grounds of Kenaboi State Park. [3]

Climate

Because of its higher altitude relative to other Negri mountains, the summit of Besar Hantu experiences a constant cool highland climate, where it also hosts a mossy forest nearby.
