The Trail (from Janda Baik)
Arrive at the trailhead early as the hike can easily take up a whole day (7-10 hours).
The first two kilometres lead through farmland and along a farm road before you enter the jungle in earnest.
The trail is moderately difficult, getting pretty steep as you approach the summit. The clay soil is generally fine, but becomes treacherous when wet. There is a small technical section just before the summit.
Along the way there are several small streams to navigate so hiking boots are recommended over running shoes.
Travel Logistics
Janda Baik is around a 60-minute drive from central Kuala Lumpur (depending on traffic).
Getting to the trailhead by public transport is not easy, so if you don’t have a car, then a Grab taxi is another option. They are very cheap in Malaysia.
There are accommodation, parking and basic toilet facilities at the trailhead.
Officially you need a permit to climb Gunung Nuang from Janda Baik, although the process is complicated and lengthy so many people do not bother.
More information about permits can be found here (
I made the trip with Singapore-based travel agent SG Trek ( who organised everything including transport, permit, guides and food (for the trek only).
Drones
There are no known restrictions on the use of drones around Gunung Nuang, although tree cover means the trailhead area and the summit are the only places where it is practical to fly. Bad weather (strong winds and mist) prevented me from filming.

20171210 Mount Nuang～Hiking in Malaysia
Mount Nuang is situated in the Hulu Langat district of Selangor state with the height of 1,493 metres. it is the 3rd highest peak after Gunung Semangkok and Gunung Ulu Kali.
Many reviews said that it is harder than climbing Mount Kinabalu. I started from 6am and finished at 4pm. The start of the trail is around 200m above sea level. It was really a gruelling and strenuous trip to go up and down 23 kilometers in one day.
3:30起床，4:30出發，5:30報到繳交RM1登山費，6:00開始爬，11:00歷經11.5公里到達1,493m的山頂，16:00再走11.5公里回到高度200m的入口處，10個小時中，花了8小時37分鐘走23.43公里，上升下降1,293m，這就是被大部分登山客評為馬來西亞五大最難爬，甚至比神山還難的雪蘭莪州第3高山 Gunung Nuang。
06:00am | Hulu Langat登山口的前5公里是一條高低起伏不平的石頭路，幾段斜度高達45度以上，一開始走還好，但等到最後下山腳痛得要死，還要走這條路回去時，才知道為什麼要叫它”Never-ending Road”，那時候的感覺就像是剛跑完一場全馬，還要走5公里石頭山路領物資一樣想死。
07:00am | 在”Never-ending Road”盡頭是一個大瀑布和休息站Buluh Minyak Checkpo，這才是Nuang真正的入口，上山途中總共需要穿越4條湍急的河流，必須活用河流中的大石、傾倒的樹幹、橫盪在中間的藤枝過河，在每個河流旁都有個原始營地，可以看到許多人野營，但更多的就是跟我們一樣單攻的登山客。Gunung Nuang的山路非常原始，經過Kem Lolo營地後，只有樹根盤繞的崎嶇山路、凌亂的石頭坑洞、滑溜的傾斜紅泥路、倒塌的樹木竹林、每一步都要跨大步向上前進，途中還有會讓腳深陷其中的泥濘土路，如果下雨積水就會非常溼滑可怕。
08:30am | 來到Kem Pacat營地，海拔約1000m，這裡有一個環繞大樹藤的大樹，幾乎每個人都會爬到上面拍照，走完前面8公里，心中還暗自竊喜沒有很難，沒想到重頭戲卻在後面的3.5公里，邊休息邊等朋友，
09:30am | 一路上都是傾斜向上的石頭山路，跨腳步要很大很高。行前提醒要帶手套，在這裡就派上用場，因為有幾段幾乎是垂直70度以上的路段，需要靠雙手抓著樹根、樹枝、岩石、凹洞和繩索往上攀爬，之後來到Puncak Pengasih，這裡被稱為“False Peak”，Gunung Nuang最痛苦的就是在到達頂峰前，還要先向下走一段陡峭山路，然後再重新向山登一小段約15分鐘艱難的的上山路後，這時才是真正地抵達山頂。
11:00am | 如果之前沒爬過馬來西亞山的人，來到頂端的空地可能會很失望，因為四周都是大樹，根本看不到像台灣高山一樣遼闊的景色，只有上頂端前一塊空地可以看到景色，還好上來前先拍過照，因為下去時已經大濃霧看不到景色了。
01:00pm | 上去花1.5小時，下到Kem Pacat營地花2小時，我就是屬於那種上山刷人卡、下山被刷卡的登山客。在這裡吃著冷冰冰的麵包，看著別人吃熱呼呼的泡麵，就會想念之前跟凡哥爬山有多幸福，有熱呼呼的美食可以吃。
04:00pm | 由於高低落差大，所以上下山都要跨步，黃泥土路則有點溼滑，途中滑倒幾次，右腳大拇指底板則不知為何一直很痛，走得很痛苦，終於回到登山入口，工作人員會坐在小涼亭裡，登山客上山前要填寫名字、聯絡號碼以及入山時間，下山時同樣需要記錄。經過10小時的折騰，全身臭得要死，還好這邊廁所有免費的水龍頭可以沖涼，可能是接山上的瀑布水，真的很涼。
Hulu Tamu Hot Spring
The Hulu Tamu hot spring is near Batang Kali. It offers a peaceful green environment for one to unwind. Suitable for family outing and picnics. There are chalets around the area from RM80 to RM150. An entrance fee of RM3 is charged for adults while children are allowed in free of charge. There is no charge if one wishes to just have a look around the area and not planning to dip into the water.

HIKING MALAYSIA: Gunung Datuk sunrise and traditional Malay food in Malacca
While Gunung Datuk in Malaysia may not be high (855m) it does offer a spectacular sunrise and superb views over the peninsular and Straits of Malacca. Join Richard and the SG Trek crew as they get a 4am start to knock off another peak before spending a relaxing afternoon in the UNESCO World Heritage town of Malacca.

The Trail
The Gunung Datuk trail is like many other Malaysian paths as it features a lot of tree roots and orange, clay-like soil.
From the trailhead hut to the summit is only around 2.5km, but there is one extremely steep section around 30 minutes in that requires some scrambling and rope work.
The trail levels out afterwards and after around 2 hours you should reach a large rest area below the rocky summit from where everyone likes to watch the sunrise.
Scaffolding has been erected to enable hikers to climb up the rocks replacing ladders and ropes that were there previously.
The boulders top out at 710m but the official height of Datuk is 855m and there is another higher summit although not many venture that way.
Travel Logistics
Datuk is around a 4-hour drive from Singapore once across the border or a 1-hour drive south from Kuala Lumpur.
Getting there by public transport is possible, taxis will drop you off at the trailhead from the nearby towns of Tampin or Rembau.
A climbing permit (5 Ringgit) is required for Datuk and this can be purchased at the trailhead office. If you climb early the office will be closed, but you can buy it on the way down.
I made the trip with Singapore-based travel agent SG Trek, who organised everything including transport and guides. (
Drones
There are no known restrictions on the use of drones around Gunung Datuk.

Waterfalls of Malaysia - Lepoh Fall, Hulu Langat
Just another day at one of Malaysia's waterfalls.
1st attempt to make pasta and failed. :)
And found an iPhone & shades in the falls.
Upon arriving the fall site, we found many leftover thrash. It's quite disappointed to know that those people that left it there really don't give a fuck about it.
Whatever you bring in, bring back out!

PhatBoys Hiking to Jeram Perlus
Jeram Perlus, a less than popular waterfall haven can be accessed via Langat Dam (2.5hrs) or Sungai Gabai (4hrs). Though we took the former route, a technical glitch (more like guide glitch :P) brought us off course for over 5 hours.
The area is also known as Hutan Pacat for the sheer density of pacat population. How'd they breed this much when no one's around? That got me asking.
Seeing the beautiful nature negated all physical and mental exhaustion. It was well worth it.
