The hike to Gunung Nuang via Pangsoon does not require many words to describe it. It is something that has to be experienced...
A moderate uphill, known as the never ending road, brings us at the foot of the mountain. From there on it is a relentless climb to Lolo and Kem Pacat, followed by the treacherous stretch to Puncak Pengasih, the false peak. A short downhill with quite some boulders brings us to the last uphill section that leads to the summit.
Not every hiker will have the required stamina and fitness to reach the summit of Gunung Nuang, but since we are following the same way up and down, you can test yourself and find out whether you are up to the challenge.
In order to make sure no hiker will get in distress because of a lack of fitness, there will be a cut-off time at Kem Pacat at 09:30am. If you are unable to reach Kem Pacat before 09:30am, Gunung Nuang is out of your league (for now). In that case don't proceed further uphill.
The mandatory cut-off time at the summit will be at 12:00pm.
Be prepared for steep inclinations characterised with a few stream crossings.
With more than 20 kilometres as a total distance, this is certainly a hike that will not only test your legs but also your mental strength. Don't underestimate the hike and don't overestimate yourself.
