Description
Background:
Take on the challenge of Trans Yam Tuan Antah, a demanding full-day adventure that forms part of the legendary Trans Naning trail. This epic route links three iconic peaks — Gunung Datuk, Gunung Rembau, and Gunung Gagak — deep within the lush highlands of Negeri Sembilan.
The journey begins along the historic trails of Gunung Datuk, renowned for its sweeping summit views, before transitioning into the quieter, forested paths of Gunung Rembau and Gunung Gagak, offering a more remote and immersive hiking experience.
Located within the pristine Hutan Simpan Kekal Gunung Tampin and accessible via Taman Eko Rimba Gunung Datuk, this section of the Trans Naning trail delivers a rewarding blend of physical challenge, natural beauty, and accomplishment — a true must-hike for seasoned adventurers.
