Gunung Datuk, Rembau

I dont know what got into me, having just had a tough ride this morning to Genting Sempah...i agreed with my colleague to join him to climb Gunung Datuk the morning after!

None of us been there, so I'm not sure what to expect other than the scenic view that awaits at the top of the peak. So we blindly followed the organizers of the event from Malaysia Outdoor Treking HIking society (MOTS) whom a strong crowd of 46 outdoor enthusiast showed up! It's so fun! Most of them "did that, done that" from scuba to sky diving! I even met up with some cyclist there! Amazingly akward since the first few of us who reached up the peak, cycles!

I'll definitely organize a cycling event and invite them one day! Btw here are the pics!

At the foothill. Every entrant have to pay RM2 dollars to the rangers.

There are ladders in place to assist the final ascent up to the peak!


A few more steps to go...

Some shots at the top


Pratice caution. Extremely hazardous up here.


Here's the shoe from KK! Still looks good eh, ;D


Everyone's taking a break enjoying both the sight and the breezzyyy wind. We lepak up there for almost one hour +


Next time...i'll bring sandwiches there! :

There's isnt much pictures taken on the way up/down. Since it's all canopied in dense rainforest and there's nothing much to take.

[Trip Summary]
- The drive from KL to foothill takes roughly about 1.5HRS
- The climb up took 2HRS while the decent down takes at least 1.5HRS.
- The hiking trail is straightforward with clear walkways.

[Verdict]
- It's enjoyable since the view at the top pays the hardships to get there. I'll most certainly revisit sometime soon!
