Johor is one of the biggest states in Malaysia and is a beautiful place to explore. There’s definitely a reason why us Singaporeans take the trouble to go through the Causeway to get through to the other side of the road.

These are 10 fantastic places to visit, which are surely going to put you in the spot of nature’s most beautiful offerings.


Gunung Ledang Resort, Tangkak, Johor

Take a walk on its magical jungle mountain. When you need a break, drop by the calming waters of the Puteri Falls. If you’re tired, check into the jungle cabin or one of their rooms for a night’s rest!


Pulau Tioman

This Malaysian zoo is right in the heart of JB, and it’s cosily nestled near the Royal Museum of Johor. Go paddling on its mini lake and get your kids to explore the animals and playground too. Make sure you grab a cap as it can get pretty hot in the afternoon.

It’s the first of its kind in the world: a Hindu temple made out of glass that encompasses every part of its body. It’s a bit hidden, but then aren’t the best things always huddled somewhere safe?

This park is right in the middle of Johor and Pahang. Some of the rock features here date back by a few million years. You’d be able to see two waterfalls here – the Mahkota Waterfalls and Buaya Sangkut Waterfalls.
