For those new comer, should ask them to use the rope to go down. At the same time can train them up mah...

camp at peak is quite nice...nice view there....but many ppl do 1 day hike also(cause this moutain total only take 4-5 hour up n down)
there is 1 small stall that sell water n some snake near the ranger office.
U can take train till tampin station then change taxi to gunung datuk...

when will u decide to hike gunung datuk?

right on bro~

Liuism...long time no see... you got conquer any other hill or not after Melawati???

Sometimes the newcomers just freak out. Of course it'll be best to train them up that way but sometimes, things just not going according to plan and it'll be good to know an alternative route

That is why should encourage and help those new comer during reach till tat rope path looh.....

i like the rope path...so ''chi kek''...like tarzan..hahaha

Dato lor, other than that no more edi la, waiting for next organizer to organize

@Flatscan : wats with the view on the summit of Nuang? say ler...

I'm a noob to climbing, but from what I know...(feel free to correct me)

Irau is Cameron Highlands, its supposedly mossy and muddy =D Takes about 3-4 hours to reach the peak.

Irau is higher than Berinchang.

to babeadeline,
ive been to gunung belumut.. and yes u cannot camp upthere.. u wont take a long time to go up. im sorry, i 4gt to record d time bt it wont take more than 5 hour unless u always take a real long rest. the last time i went down, it was raining n we hv to walk along the water stream ...

so fast to get to Nuang peak? hmm...i heard that's this one super long stretch of muddy road that is very tough...izzit?

We took about total 7 to 8 hours for up and down. Reached the peak at 4.30pm. A group of very unfit people, including me.

The 3-4 hours is for Irau, that's from what I read online from a few websites.

I posted the photo from Nuang because someone was mentioning about it earlier on. =)

just back from Angsi...well the hike it a bit similar to climbing Gunung Datuk...but i think Angsi has more variety climbings and sceneries than Datuk...Angsi is climb up one way and down the other way...so thats why
