Gunung Datuk

Gunung Datuk is a mountain near Rembau in Negeri Sembilan, named after a local chieftan from ancient times who used the peak as a ceremonial venue to elect clan leaders. At only 883m, it's a steep but brisk hour plus trek for fast climbers to the top, while others may take two to three hours. A MYR5 fee is levied on climbers at the entrance park, which can be reached by passing through an estate from the main road about 21km from Rembau town, or 15km from Tampin. The summit is famous for its panoramic views, including villages and towns stretched across a plane of green towards the coastline facing the Straits of Malacca.
