Mt. Tahan trek, Malaysia

I don’t know much about this trek to the the highest point in Peninsular Malaysia, but it sounds great. This country without question is the most underestimated adventure destination in SE Asia.

The standard route is the Kuala Tahan trail â€” not recommended from what I can tell.

Of the other routes, instead hike the Merapoh (Sungai Relau) trail.
