Have you ever thought of doing Gunung Datuk and Gunung Angsi in one day?
Why not? That's what I did as hiking Gunung Datuk alone or Gunung Angsi are too common, so I thought of up the game to the next level (next level la sangat).
That faithful day, we started hike Gunung Datuk quite late, at 8.00am, reached the top 1 hour 20 minutes later, took couple of photos but with not so strategic location as there were too many hikers at the top and such a little room left to move around.
We headed down to the carpark. The pit stop is Gunung Angsi.
Summary of Gunung Datuk hike :
Car Park to Peak - 2.96km around 1 hour 32 minutes
Peak to car park - 2.3km around 1 hour
Total hike : 5.2km in 2 hours 24 minutes...plus minus la ya...resting, buying drinks, chi-chatting with fellow hikers. The time was 10am something.
Round 2 - Gunung Angsi
Distance from Gunung Datuk to Gunung Angsi is around 55km in 58 minutes. The challenges here was the traffic, it was one hell of journey. We arrived at Gunung Angsi trailhead at 11.27am and allowed to hike. When we asked when is the last hikers allowed to climb up, the counter official said by 11.30am...I dont know I heard it right or wrong...hehe..
Gunung Angsi was a tough one, 4.5km one way.
Summary of Hike
Start to peak - 4.5km in 1 hour 20 minutes
Peak to start - 4.5km in 51 minutes
Total : 8.8km in 2 hours 11 minutes...plus minus ya...no medal won here...
Yes, climbing both Mountains in a day is doable, manageable...but keep in mind on the cut off time when the counter official allowed the climber to hike ya. If you are too late, maybe your are not allowed to climb. I haven't confirm on this one yet...hehe.
