Gunung Datuk 14 Feb 2009




We left PJ at 6.45 a.m., reached Pedas Toll at 8 a.m. and finally at the G Datuk Park at 8.45 a.m. with about 15 minutes break to buy some food along the way. There was no big crowd and there was plenty of car park area.

At 9 a.m. we started our hike at 120m asl and reached the false peak clearing at 725m asl at 11 a.m. After s short rest, we climbed up several flights of the metal ladder to the viewing point at 740m asl atop gargantuan boulders.

The weather was beautiful and we have a wonderful time sun bathing on the boulders.The trail was dry and easy to trek. It must be "Spring time" in Gunung Datuk. The trail was adorned with blooming pink and yellow inflorescence flowers.

We started to take our leave at 1 p.m. and reached the base at 2.20 p.m. where we had a short splash in a mini waterfall pool. Overall, a fun and good moderate day trek.
