Gunung Datuk Rembau
Went to climb Mount Datuk yesterday morning.
Mount Datuk in Malay language is called "Gunung Datuk", which is located in Rembau Negeri Sembilan. It just 30 minutes drives from my house, so it's considered quite near to the Melaka. If you are a Malaccan too and love to climb hill or mountain, perhaps Mount Datuk is your best choice.
I ever been here for twice but i have never ever climb the Mount Datuk. Last 2 years i been here for bathing(Waterfall) and i didn't notice that the uphill view in Gunung Datuk is such a gorgeous until one day i googled about it!!
So we've planned to go here again yesterday.
A lot of pictures below, let's the photos do the talking!
Okay, before you gonna climb the Mount Datuk, you need to register first at the counter and the charges is RM3 only.
Journey up the mountain takes about 2 hours? But we took almost 3 hours!! Wtf. Will tell you later why we took so long time.

The entrance of Gunung Datuk. I think i should call Hutan Lipur Gunung Datuk, but not just Gunung Datuk. That is its full name. :P
This time we are not coming here for bathing but hiking!!

Just walked for around a 20 feet, we have seen a giant tree!! The tree is super huge!! I think it has more than 200 or 300 hundred year-old, or even more!
Even though they were tired, but still can play around!!I told them that not to laugh or play all the way but they didn't listen to me. I told them that they will regret!!

According to the other hikers who have ever climbed the Mount Datuk, they said that when reached here, where we can see a broken hut, that's just a mid way to the uphill. We have spent almost 1 hour & 15 minutes to reach here.Wtf! Becoz we had rest for so many times!!
3 of them already felt exhausted, but i kept asking them to continue the journey, if not we will late. Becoz one of my friends is gonna take her bus to Singapore. She works in Singapore.

I dunno how to take this picture to make the ant looks bigger, becoz in fact the ant is really huge!! We were amazed that how come the ant is so huge?!! We can't even find one besides in the jungle. This was my first time i saw such a giant ant!! I can't imagine that how it feel if the ant bite me!! Must be damn painful one i sure!!
I was super duper hapi when saw these giant rocks!! Coz i almost reached the uphill!!
3 of my friends have given up in their half way, i can't stop in the mid way like them, so i just followed 2 other fellas to continue my journey! I have told myself when saw my friends have given up, I won't give up, i must continue my journey until the top of the hill!! Finally I'm success!!



To reach the top of Mount Datuk, we have to climb the giant rocks!! But don't worry, ladders are provided.

The first action when i reached the top of the Mount Datuk is......Snap and snap photos!!!

These are the climbers who managed to climb until the top of the Mount Datuk.
He was shouting...Shouted to the monkeys!!

Nice view

Congrats to this Malaccan young boy!!! I told him that he is even better than my friends..Coz he managed to climb until top of the hill!! It's not easy to climb the Mount Datuk i swear if you are not always climb hill or mountain.
Here are the 2 fellas who i followed together in my mid way after my friends were surrended. Both of them are from Klang.
Thanks yeah bros...
Going down to the foothill.
Kamap Tree, well, never heard before this tree.. Hehe..
Finally met my friends in my mid way down to foothill. My friend's shoe was torn. Pathetic!!
She shouldn't wear this shoes to climb the mountain, but she told us that she doesn't has any sport shoes. So this is the consequence of wearing this kind of shoes climbing mountain. Sigh.
This was caught my attention, coz the leaf got thorns!!
So this is the trees where its leaves have thorns!!
Even the tree also got thorns!!
Mushrooms!!!Can eat or not you think?? In jungle, you may find a lot of mushrooms!!
