The Gunung Datuk trip was amazingly challenging! Even though it was pretty tired climbing up the hill, but it is worth the effort. Gunung Datuk is not really a "mountain" despite it is named as "gunung". This is the first big trip for all of the members of Amateur Athletic Club (AAC).

Still a long way up
Trekking at moderate speed will take 2 and 1/2 hour to reach to the top. Since some of us couldn't go as fast as the others could, it took us about 3 hours. After we reached at the peak of Gunung Datuk, the scenery was spectacular~! Surely worth the effort of going all the way up here.The base of Gunung Datuk
The trail is not that hard as there is a clear path along the way up so trekkers will not get lost. It is a fairly easy trek.
Still a long way up
Climbing back down the peak
On our way down the hill, it was raining quite heavily. Some of us manage to reach at the base of the hill before the rain starts, while some of us couldn't. It was about halfway to go when when it starts raining.
