Gunung Datuk Hiking

Gunung Datuk is located 21km from Rembau town, Negeri Sembilan. The summit is 2,900 feet above sea level. Normally will take around 2 hours to reach the summit and another 1.5 hours to descend.

Upon reaching the base, each climber is required to pay for RM3.00 climbing fee. Went to Gunung Datuk twice, each time took around 1hr 15 minutes to reach the summit and 1 hour to descend.

The following photos were taken on 2 different hiking trips.

Nice cloud pattern in the morning

At the base of Gunung Datuk, the Keris monument is where climbers normally take group photo


Almost reaching the peak. Before that, we need to climb the stair of the rock.









This was taken during the 2nd trip on a bright day with clear blue sky. Very strong wind at the summit. Enjoying ourselves very much at the summit ~ eating, taking photos, chatting, or just enjoying the strong wind.












View of the town, but not sure which town is this.


I like this withered tree at the summit, just nice for few shootings.





There are washrooms at the base for shower, so we could cleaned ourselves before heading to lunch. During the 1st hike trip we went to Dengkil for steam fish. The fish was a bit dissapppointed but the rest tasted ok. The Tong Po Yuk & guinness spare rib were fantastic.

On the 2nd hike trip, we went for Seremban "Siu Hai" in Seremban town. Expensive though, each person around RM30. Anyway, after a hard hike, we should reward ourselves right?
