Climb Gunung Tahan without leaving home

This is where Gunung Tahan is on Google Maps.

Not for nothing is there the English expression, “a mountain to climb” in reference to very difficult obstacles that we may face. While we might be able to overcome such tremendous barriers, not all of us are physically capable of climbing an actual mountain.

But thanks to Google Street View they can live vicariously through those who do – and now they have the experience of reaching the top of Gunung Tahan in Pahang without actually trekking up 2,187m to the highest peak in Peninsular Malaysia.
