Kampung Mukut
The Hidden Gem of Tioman
Kampung Mukut, at Tioman’s southern tip, is a tranquil fishing village with lush rainforests, granite peaks, and clear waters—offering a peaceful, authentic escape amid nature’s raw beauty.

Mukut is a friendly fishing village at the southern tip of Pulau Tioman, a hot spot for nature attractions and activities on the island. The village has small bits of beaches scattered along its shore, but visitors are inclined to explore its vast backdrop of granite mountains and centuries-old rainforest, where the famous Dragon Horns of Tioman and majestic Asah Waterfall reside.
Tucked away from the busier tourist hubs of Tioman, Mukut offers a more tranquil and authentic island experience. Life here moves at a slower pace, with wooden houses perched along the coastline, the warmth of the local community and their deep connection with nature create an inviting atmosphere for those seeking simplicity and serenity. Unlike other more commercialised parts of the island, Mukut maintains a sense of privacy and exclusivity—welcoming, yet intentionally unhurried.
One of Mukut’s most iconic landmarks is the twin peaks known as the Dragon Horns (aka “Gunung Nenek Semukut”), which rise dramatically above the village. Revered in local folklore and adored by rock climbers and hikers, these granite spires serve as a symbol of strength and mystery waiting to be explored, casting a majestic silhouette against the sky.
Aside from its natural wonders, Mukut is gradually embracing sustainable tourism and digital innovation. Eco-friendly chalets, guided jungle treks, seamless outdoor WiFi, and Vision AI CCTV are beginning to shape the village’s future, striking a balance between preserving its pristine environment and providing modern conveniences. This harmonious blend of tradition and transformation makes Kampung Mukut a hidden gem for explorers and nature lovers alike.
