Welcome to our first Trans Naning! This is similar profile to the other challenging/hardcore hikes series (e.g. CBR, QJM, Rajah etc), although I would say its slightly easier/shorter, or the entry level to the hardcore hike series.

Trans Naning is a pretty famous trail in the area as Gunung Datuk, for those who want an intense and punishing full day hike in Negiri Sembilan! The good thing about Trans Naning compared to other challenging hikes in Malaysia is that due to its distance from Singapore, we can complete this itinerary within a day and do not need to stay overnight in Malaysia. Do note that this is a pure hiking trip and there will be no leisure/R&R activities.

Trans Naning isn't a route that has high elevation, with the highest being Gunung Rembau (884m), however it can be quite a punishing route with the steep inclines and switchbacks. You'll descend down about 700m before ascending straight back up. There will be river crossings, general forest trail similar to Gunung Datuk, just more raw, narrower paths. There are 7 different 'peaks' which acts as checkpoints,
1. Gunung Gunung Selatan (733m)
2. Tampin Utara (728m)
3. Peak 705 (705m)
4. Peak 701 (701m)
5. Gununh Gagak (807m)
6. Gunung Rembau (884m)
7. Gunung Datuk (855m)

We'll be starting the route from Tampin side, and end off at Datuk. This is so that we have some shower facilities. The hike usually takes an average of at least 10-12h, so please be mentally prepared for it!

Who is this for?
=> People who wish to/can challenge/test themselves (I would say to the limits)
=> People who have done full day hikes (e.g. Ophir) and wish to challenge themselves even further
=> Wish to hike close to 12h and deal with undulating trails
=> Training for tough hikes (long distance, high altitude hikes etc)
=> Generally suited for more experienced hikers who know they can last at least 12h hiking
==> Want a tough hike but don't wish to stay overnight in Malaysia
==> Just want to hike and have no other 'R&R' activities

Do note that we will start early and might descend at night, so please bring headlights, and we expect some level of fitness or hiking experience for the group!

Hike Details
The total distance is ~16km and total elevation gain is ~1800m.The hike is around 10-14h in total, depending on your speed. This is almost 1.5x as long as Ophir Asahan hike. It can and will be extremely tiring on your mind, body and legs.

This is good for people who have some level of fitness and hiking experience. As this can be quite a challenging route, the group pace will be quite fast and we'll push at a certain speed.

There is also a cut-off timings which we'll enforce more strictly. If you fail to make it you will have to turn back unfortunately, as the distance is long. We aim to all be back down by 8pm.

How many pax for the trip to happen?
Minimum 12 pax to start the trip!
