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

The marine life here is truly extraordinary. Divers will love the beauty that lies within its pristine waters. You’ll get to see some protected animal species (both land and water) here as well!

The Johor Zoo, JB Town

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.

Tanjung Piai National Park

If you’re a nature lover, you’re going to love this place. There’s a nature exhibit within its premises, and many different types of fauna to see, too!

Arulmigu Sri Rajakaliamman Glass Temple

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?

Endau Rompin National Park

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.

Tanjung Puteri Waterfront

This is a mixed development that takes up a sprawling 157 acres. It has got its feet on both sides of the Causeway heading to Singapore. Stroll along its exquisite waterfront that’s equipped with only the best coastal amenities. World class to be exact!

Pulau Kukup National Park

This is literally walking along the beaten tracks. Your view of the rustic side of nature starts here.

Pulai Waterfall

If hiking and enjoying a sandwich by the waterfall is your thing, this place has got you covered. Swim carefully though as there are certain places that spike in deeply.

Sultan Abu Bakar Mosque

This is one of the oldest mosques in JB. The interior is etched in history. Walk around its premises and you’d feel as if you’ve stepped back in time.
