Weekend getaway!

Last weekend, we went to Datuk mountain which is located at Rembau, Negeri Sembilan. It just less than an hour  of driving from Alam. We started to move from Alam around 4:30 in the morning cause we plan to hike the 2900 ft mountain before sunrise and watch the sunrise at the peak. From the car park, we descend to the path down the stream , cross a bridge and walk through the trail which is the starting point. As it was 5 in the morning. Everything was so dark and yeah we were prepared with torchlights. Normally it takes 2 hours to reach the top, but we did it in an hour plus or less (Can't remember ) . As we hike higher, the wind is getting stronger to the extend that I almost flew off >.<

(Picture was taken when we were resting after the exhausting climb)

After a while, the path became slightly less steep and we can feel the refreshing breeze. And yeah the wind was stronger. At first, we thought that we won't make it to the top before sunrise but yay we made it in time! Finally , we reached the campsite which had a few ladders which enable us to climb the big boulders that dominate the peak of the mountain. 

The above picture was taken at the campsite before we proceed to climb the big boulders.

The ladder might look unsafe but it was not as scary as what you think.

These are some of the moment that we took after the sunrise. On the summit, we had quite a magnificient views and enjoy the cool breezes. Coming down was easy but physically my knees and leg muscles were so damn hurt! Plus I'm not wearing a proper shoes so I did slip and fall here and there. We enjoyed the hike which was short but struneous. It was a memorable moment. If you ever plan to hike Gunung Datuk, bring plenty water with you as the weather is getting hotter due to the El Nino phenomenon now. If you can't really stand the cold, bring sweater too and gloves. 

After the hike, my body was so damn hurt. Like really hurt eventhough I slept for the whole day after that. So , that night , we went to Gadek Hotspring which only located at Alor Gajah, Melaka. 

We went around 10 at night so it was quite chill and a really perfect time to go to hotspring! 

So that was my unplanned weekend which went really well after a long , tiring week of classes.

So, how's your weekend?
