 If you are willing to put in immense
effort and expand bountiful energy reserves, then this is definitely your cup of tea.
Although not noted as a country loaded with mountains, Malaysia does have a peak or two
and a hill for everyone. For those of you who feel less energetic, a hike up a hill would
be an excellent alternative. Be it a mountain or a hill, you can be sure that with each
ascent you make, you will be rewarded with exhilarating and breathtaking sights that span
the spectrum of the imagination. For some climbs, such as that of the Gunung Tahan (Tahan
Mountain), the starting point is at the very bottom of the mountain where you would
encounter tricky rapids with lightning fast currents, traverse through dense, sweaty
jungle and wade through waist-deep swamps teeming with hidden activity that might put off
the squeamish. Make it through these obstacles and the peak awaits. It could be a relaxed,
leisurely climb. It could also be a challenging, spectacular, even spine-tingling
excursion, such as that to the highest mountain in Southeast Asia, Mount
Kinabalu. Adequate preparation is paramount for all climbs but experience is not a
prerequisite as guides will be there to assist you.
