Jelebu District

along the border between Jelebu and Seremban districts. Included in this stretch are the third and fourth tallest mountains in Negeri Sembilan, Mts. Telapak Buruk and Berembun Amongst the seven districts of Negeri Sembilan, Jelebu is the most mountainous topographically as the Titiwangsa Mountains, the longest mountain range in Malaysia, transverses through the district. As a result, most of its terrain are dominated by forested undulating hills and mountain peaks. The Titiwangsa Mountains open up into a 77 km2 (30 sq mi) wide intermontane basin encompassing the central part of the district, of which major settlements like Kuala Klawang and Titi are situated in. The eastern and southern parts of the district are relatively flat, where agriculture flourished. Jelebu District is home to Negeri Sembilan's tallest mountain, Mount Besar Hantu (1,462 m), near the border with Pahang. The other significant peak within the district is Mount Telapak Buruk (1,193 m) on the border with Seremban District. The Pasoh Caves, the southernmost limestone cave complex in Malaysia, is also located in Jelebu. The Pasoh Caves are also known for being the first Paleolithic site in southern Peninsular Malaysia, as well as the southernmost in Malaysia. Jelebu has the warmest climate recorded in Malaysian history. The southwestern part of Jelebu is considered as the driest place in Malaysia. However, in the mornings the temperatures are quite low and visibility is moderate due to the foggy climate. ==Administrative divisions==
