Perak and
Selangor on the west coast with
Kelantan and
Pahang on the east coast, eventually straddling across the state of
Negeri Sembilan further south. Nearby systems include

Tenasserim Hills. It forms the southernmost section of the Indo-Malayan
cordillera which runs from
Tibet through the
Kra Isthmus into the
Malay Peninsula. The Titiwangsa Mountains proper begin in the north as the Sankalakhiri Range, a prolongation of the
Nakhon Si Thammarat Range which includes the smaller Pattani, Taluban, and Songkhla sub-ranges. The Sankalakhiri marks the border between the
Southern Thai provinces of
Yala in west and
Narathiwat in the east. Across the border into Malaysia, the main stretch of the range runs in a northwest–southeast orientation, straddling the borders between the
west coast states of
Perak and
Selangor with
Kelantan and
Pahang on the
eastern side of the peninsula. From the
tripoint of
Pahang,
Selangor and
Negeri Sembilan near
Mount Nuang, it then transverses through the middle of the state of Negeri Sembilan, also a west coast state, thus dividing the state into two regions – western Negeri Sembilan, which consists of
Seremban,
Port Dickson and
Rembau Districts, and eastern Negeri Sembilan, composed of the districts of
Jelebu,
Kuala Pilah,
Jempol and
Tampin – and terminates in the south near the town of
Tampin, in the southern part of the state. Outcrops of Titiwangsa
granite, mainly consisting of
inselbergs, project further south into
Malacca, where it abuts in the waters of the
Strait of Malacca in
Pulau Besar. In general, the greatest elevations occur along the northern and central sections of the range, with its highest point measuring 2,183 m (7,162 ft) on
Gunung Korbu,
Perak. On the Thai side, the highest point is 1,533 m (5,026 ft)
Ulu Titi Basah (ยูลูติติ บาซาห์), at the Thai/Malaysian border between
Yala province and
Perak. On the other hand, the height gradually diminishes towards the southern reaches of the range, which mainly runs through
Negeri Sembilan, with elevations ranging from 1,462 m (4,797 ft) at its highest on
Mount Besar Hantu, on the border between the state and
Pahang, as well as 1,193 m (3,914 ft) on Mount Telapak Buruk on the boundary between the districts of
Seremban and
