The Titiwangsa Mountains, also known as“Banjaran Besar” (Main Range) by locals, are the main mountain range that forms the backbone of the Malay Peninsula. The northern section of the range is in Southern Thailand, where it is known as Sankalakhiri Range.
The range acts as a natural divider, dividing Peninsular Malaysia, as well as southernmost Thailand, into East and West Coast regions. The length of mountain range is about 480 km from north to south. The main range runs approximately from northwest to southeast across the border into Malaysia and ends in the south near Jelebu, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. Foothills extend further southeastwards into Johor.
The highest elevation is 2,183 m (7,162 ft) high Gunung Korbu. On the Thai side the highest point is 1,533 m high Ulu Titi Basah, located at the Thai/Malaysian border between Yala Province and Perak. Among the southern foothills one of the most important is 1,276 m highMount Ophir.

(3) Gunung Yong Yap
GUNUNG YONG YAP (2168m) is the sixth highest mountain in Peninsular Malaysia. Situated in Korbu Forest Reserve, it is seen that Gunung Yong Yap is impossible to climb, because of its steep gradient near the top. In a topo map, it is seen that Gunung Yong Yap is impossible to access, because of its distance from the nearest civilisation. With an opening of logging track from kampung Lasah to Kuala Mu, an expedition, which previously took 8 days to complete, is now compressed to 3-4 days. The trek used to be untouched all the way to the mountain peak, but now, there are many parts where the trek crosses a logging road. Tigers still roam in the forest. However, this would not stop outdoor enthusiast from pursuing their dreams into this unspoilt nature.
