Mount Gunung Dato is Located within Rembau Negeri Sebilan, at least 30 mins drive from the Pedas tol right after the Seremban Exit.
We started at 11:30 morning, quite late for a climb but it's ok. But preferably anytime after 7am as it is much cooler during that time.
Be prepared to bring your own food for the after climb as most stalls were closed during this weekend. And small water bottles and some chocolates to consume when you reach the top. Don't bring anything that will hinder your weight.
Ok back to the climb, this was my first ever trail mountain climb. I've been to a few trail runs but this was different as you cant actually speed run due to the sharp rocks and tree roots that were tangling to the ground. It's more to an endurance and cardio challenge. But if your not rushing you might as well enjoy the serenity of the woods and the calmness of nature.
Be prepared to wear trail shoes as the steep uphill and descents require lots of grip on the ground especially when your heading down.
It took me 48mins to reach till the top and 40 mins return back to the entrance. Walking pace.
Enjoyed every part of this climb and I would do it again.
Enjoy your runs guys!!
