 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.
