The mountain is a massive limestone outcrop and is a lone feature from the surrounding geography of the area. There is an information board on top of the mountain stating that it used to be an island called Pulai Serai before the sea levels receded letting it form a mountain, but this fact has no research or historical basis.
In ancient times, the height of the mountain relative to its surrounding allowed traders to use the mountain as a navigational point. Bujang Valley, the richest archaeological site in Malaysia is located on the southern reaches of the mountain.
