Gunung Datuk


Posted in Malaysia by admin - Feb 2, 2010

Gunung Datuk is located in Kumpung Batang Nyamor, Gadung, about 21km from Rembau Town and 15km from Tampin Town, in the state of Negri Sembilan. The summit of the mountain consists of huge boulders and was once used by Dato Perpateh Nan Sebatang to gather Ketua-ketua Adat (Customs Leaders) to announce the future Dao Lembaga (clan chief) in 1372.

Nowadays, this mountain is frequent by locals who camp near the summit of the mountain. Gunung Datuk stands majestically at 880 metres offering trekkers a panoramic view of the surrounding towns atop the boulders, the Strait of Malacca may also be visible clear day. Visitors will be dauntingly challenged by the natural obstacles such as steep passageways, as they traverse the roots, trees, narrow paths and witness the structural changes in the forest along the trail.

After the fulfilling trek up Gunung Datuk, immerse in the peranakan culture and unwind in the town of Malacca where good food and good shopping can be found. Be sure to visit the night market in Jonker Walk for the ever bustling array of stalls.
