One of the G7 mountains, the Yong Yap trek is considered to be one of the most toughest mountain treks in Peninsular Malaysia. The mountain trail is deemed tough as there are fallen tree trunks, sharp-edged bamboos and thorny trees that poses a lot of challenge for hikers to get to the mountain's peak. The conical shape of the mountain means having to go up an extremely steep gradient to the summit. This mountain is definitely not recommended for people inexperienced at climbing mountains in the tropical rainforest.
Mount Yong Yap can be accessible via Kuala Mu from the west. There are several also logging trails that lead to the mountain and are only accessible via 4WD vehicles.
