The most characteristic physical feature of the peninsula is the long range of granite mountains which runs along its whole length, descending somewhat abruptly into a wider plain on the east, and more gently into a narrower plain on the west. In addition to smaller ranges running parallel to the main chain, there are also isolated spurs and limestone buffs. The highest peak in the main range, Gunong Kerbau, has an altitude of 7,160 ft., but the highest mountain is Gunong Tahan (7, 186 ft.) on the eastern side.
