As usual we left PJ at about 6.45 a.m. and exited the Pedas Toll at about 8 a.m. before reaching Gunung Datuk at 8.45 a.m. Starting at 9 a.m. we managed to hit the campsite of 703m asl at about 11 a.m. After a good rest, we made our way up the gigantic rocky outcrop to enjoy the surrounding views.
The weather was extremely hazy and there was little breeze unlike our previous trip in February 2009 (http://happyotrekker.blogspot.com/2009/02/g-datuk-140209.html). Furthermore, the air was hot and humid. We were literally bathing in our own sweat.This time round there was hardly any flowers and the trail appeared "lifeless" as it was parched dry. Nevertheless, it must be good day for hiking for we met more than 50 hikers along the way.
We took leave at about 1 p.m. and reached the trail head at 2.30 p.m.
Overall, it was a good "sauna trek". Our bodies felt totally cleansed of body waste through copious sweating.
NB: Permit climbing fee: RM3 pax

ReplyDeleteYah! So the RM3 fee pax collected was put into good use? It would be more natural to use wood... my 2-sen opinion
