Gunung Datuk Rembau, Seremban...
Right after hiking down from chilling falls, we were getting ourselfs cleaned up when we saw this other group of people who hiked up to chilling falls about the same time we did... so we decided to say hi and talk to them... after a bit of introduction and talking we decided to go makan together and to makan the famous mee in KKB town unfortunately the shop that we were supposed to go to was close so we went to another shop that served the same mee... we were hungry like crazy after the hike and ate loads of mee, after filling up our stomach. Ryan one of the guys we just met said that they were going to Gunung Datuk later at night and asked us if we wanted to join them... so we contemplated for a bit and decided to do something extreme by going with them even though we were really tired after the hike at Chilling Falls... So we split up there took a fast drive home to get our gear and a new change of clothes and met up at jaya one with the other guys.. they drove a van so we decided to all go into one car and save on costs, once all the stuff were done we started our journey to seremban and onwards towards Gunung Datuk. I took a short nap on the way to the foot of gunung Datuk... the ride was bumpy but i managed to get some shut eye until i was woken by ryan's loud voice... we reached the foot in no time and started packing our backpacks and then we started our climb.. the first 45minutes of the terrain was at a 80 to 90 degree gradient and it was really difficult... after reaching the first checkpoint we took a short break and continued but this time the slope was only at a 35 to 45 degree gradient so it was not as difficult but it was really tiring and my backpack was heavy not to mention 3 bottles of 1.5liters that i was caring but we eventually reached the peak. The wind was blowing really fast at least 30kph constant but we managed to pitch our tent and changed into a dry set of clothing as we were drenched in sweat. We had packed food earlier and once we changed our clothing and settled down we had our supper and then relaxed talking about stuff and some experiences until everyone were tired and decided to sleep. We got up the next day around 11am and cooked breakfast once we were done with breakfast, we packed up all our stuff and proceeded to the peak of the mountain where the scenery was breath taking. here are some pictures of Gunung Datuk....
