Hiking on Gunung Datuk

Gunung Datuk Recreational Forest https://maps.app.goo.gl/QKwkCenkaNiPN6rY6 Last month just managed to spend time for hiking at Negeri Sembilan. Gunung Datuk is 2900ft above sea level, making it slightly higher than nearby Gunung Angsi which is around 22km away. Easy accessible by driving own vehicle. Climbing Gunung Datuk is well worth the effort. It is quite a strenuous physical effort. It took around 2.5 hours to reach the summit. At the summit you can rest on the flat boulders, enjoy the magnificent views and feel the cooling breeze. You are supposed to be able to see the Straits of Malacca. There are enormous trees in the lower parts of the mountain, including one that appears to have been partly sawn through. But the tree survived and grew back, covering over the sawn section. It's an interesting climb with lots of sights to occupy the eye, including trees with giant roots. The trail is very clear and easy to follow. You will be paid off with the breezing airs and views when reach the top. Worth return visit someday. #n9hiking #n9tourism
