It's All About Me: My Gunung & Ganang

Climbing up mountains is a wonderful way to discover the diversity and uniqueness of Malaysia's natural landscape, starting from the tropical rainforest in the lowlands to the mountain vegetation in the high elevations. River crossings and gushing waterfalls along the way add to the adventure. Climbing not just to discover all those uniqueness and how beautiful are Malaysia's mountains but it can teach us how to survive far away from civilization and how to control our self.
