Forests and mountains in Terengganu are mainly located in the interior of the state which is also part of the Titiwangsa range. Some of the mountains are mainly composed of granite and are steeply tilted and founded sandstone outcrops along the river. This will require the assistance of some techniques and simple gears such as robe and hook. However, some mountains with trails properly marked help the climber a lot especially beginners.

Gunung Tebu is a unique peak shrouded in many tales and its mysteries. The peak is very unique and has all kinds of tales attached to it. People are supposed to practice silat there, meditate and there is even a grave up there. So peoples who going there must take good care of your speak and behaviour okay. The mountain is really unique, because you can spend the whole day walking around the peak area, which seems to never end.The hike up can be done in about 5-6 hours and from the top, and spectacular sunrises with the views of the South China Sea can be seen. So wonderful and beautiful.
  
                                                        

Gunung Tebu also hike to the summit of 'natural bongsai garden'. Not only in China has bongsai.. Terengganu also have it..The summit has a camping ground which could house more than 50 twin sharing tents. Fresh water can be easily obtain from the brook.

Allow a spectacular view for Pulau Perhentian, Bukit Keluang & Kuala Besut in good weather. Quite cooling at night. Be sure to bring enough clothing. Feel like in London coldness.

Climbing mountain is a pleasant experience in Terengganu simply because most of the mountains in this area are covered by thick tropical rainforest with rich vegetation in addition to the significant diverse of temperature between lowland and mountain area that creates a mossy and misty scenery in the forest.

By the way, before arriving at Gunung Tebu you will past two 'Lata'  which are Lata Tembakah and Lata Payung. why don't you stop by and refresh yourself there. The coldness of the water and the calm flora will make you so peaceful and re rest your tiredness.
