On my way going down the hill, I actually had muscle cramps & pain in my knees during the long hours of trekking but its fun, great sweat & help detoxifying the body as well!

The hike to the top of Gunung Nuang usually take one full day (around 9 hours), but one can opt to overnight camping to decrease the intensity of the hike. It usually take me 5 to 5.5 hours to climb to the peak and 3.5 to 4 hour to hike down if it is a full day hike.

A good thing about Nuang’s trail, it can be divided in stages. Hence it can cater at most of runner’s need, time and fitness level.
