Gunung Datuk
Located in the Rembau district of Negeri Sembilan, is one of Malaysia’s most iconic and popular hiking destinations.
Despite its relatively modest height of 885 meters, the trail is known for its challenging and rewarding ascent, making it a perfect climb for both enthusiastic beginners and experienced hikers looking for a good workout.
The highlight of the hike is undoubtedly the summit, which is marked by a unique formation of massive granite boulders. Hikers must use a series of steel ladders and ropes to scramble up the final section, a thrilling finish to the trek.
The effort is well worth it, as the peak offers a breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view of the surrounding landscape. On a clear day, you can even see the Malacca Straits. While the trail is well-maintained, it features steep inclines and rocky terrain, particularly in the initial and final sections.
