I was talking to Ivy and HQ online yesterday and they were all excited about the treks that they are going to plan for the May holidays.

They were suggesting that we make 2 trips - once to Mount Kinabalu in Sabah, and another to West Malaysia. The West Malaysia trip will cover both Gunung Tahan and Gunung Ayam! The reason being, since, we are stationed in Singapore/Johor Bahru, it would be much more cost effective to make one trip up instead of two separate trips for the two mountains!

We can save on the train tickets, and also save on the total time spent up there! From what I understand, trekking in Gunung Tahan starts from the town of Merapoh, and ends at Jerantut. Gunung Tahan is at Dabong.

Concerns? For me, I am all excited about the trip! Just that I don't know whether I can tahan the Gunung Tahan or not! It is the highest peak in Peninsula Malaysia, standing at 2187m above sea level! The trek will take at least 5 days! After that still want to climb Gunung Ayam? Legs will be groggy soft by then! hahhaa...
