Gunung Datuk, Rembau
Mountain trekking is always in my heart for more than a decade. That is how my parents brought me up.
It was on Saturday morning I was joined with my friend Cecilia, Ash, Nad, Du Qiang ( Cecilia’s friend from China) and Saiful had breakfast at mamak coffeeshop at Subang Jaya. I had nasi lemak with coffee for breakfast while others just grab some roti canai. Don’t really mind about me coz I love heavy breakfast in the morning. After done for breakfast, we headed to the highways.
Of course, the journey does not end up that smooth. Ash’s tire was badly “poked” by the road edge concrete. Fortunately, there was a spare brand new tire. We had a quick change and the journey continued.
About 10 am we reached the destination. Gunung Dato. This mountain was named after Dato’ Perpatih Nan Sebatang, a legend that compile all the customs of Minangkabau. This mountain was situated at Rembau, Negeri Sembilan with the approximate height of 884 metres. It was the highest peak in Negeri Sembilan.
For a chill hikers, it will normally took about 2 hours to reached the peak of the mountain. But in our case we took more than 2 hours due to one of our friend had a hard time to climb uphill. Thus we took another 45 minutes extra time. Haha.
About 12:45pm, we reached the top. Had some lunch and relax before went downhill around 2:00pm ( Downhill took about (1 hour 30 minutes).We do enjoyed the trip because it makes us healthy. Good job to the team that always support each other.
