"Situated at the end of Titiwangsa Mountain Range, it holds many treasures of the natural tropical rainforests."

Ten minutes drive along the Rembau-Tampin stretch, you will reach Simpang Bongek. Take a left turn and drive for another 4km down the road. The scenery you will face along this road varies; from being sandwiched by rubber trees on your left and right, you will pass a few kampung houses, before encountering an amazing view of thick forests against the backdrop of mountainous range. A further three minute drive along a small winding road will lead you to the foot of the majestic Mount Datuk, also known as Mount Rembau. It was here in the 18th century that the Penghulu Rembau signed an agreeing to join forces against the Dutch who at that time were controlling Melaka.

This mountain, 2,900 feet above sea level, is a favourite for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Situated at the end of Titiwangsa Mountain Range, it holds many treasures of the natural tropical rainforests. At the foot of the mountain, a small clear stream flows lazily between the many stones and slippery boulders, filling the air with the tranquil sound of running water. The surface of this shallow stream is filled with pebbles and sand. The sides are bordered by big tall trees, some with giant roots curling and twisting creating a very artistic impression.

This panoramic picture can only be rivalled with the view from the peak of the mountain. This picturesque scene is definitely a sight to behold. Be certain that many artists and poets will be inspired by this display of vast greenery, an undescribable portrait of nature in all its wonders and splendours. It is a popular camp site with basic facilities like toilets and huts. You can start this challenging journey with a four mile walk from Simpang Bongek across rows of rubber trees and kampung houses before reaching the foot of the mountain.

Of course the main prize is at the peak. To get the prize though, you must be physically and mentally prepared for the three hour challenging climb up. You are advised to report to the Kota Police Station.

"a great track to train for fitness, only two hours of steady tracking, a not so fresh environment since too many people went up there, only one waterpoint 20 min from the peak, great view at nite n expect lots of people on top."   by zet
