Overview
The team will conduct a 168-hour trek to the highest peak in Peninsular Malaysia across arduous and physically challenging terrain, which will need them to be fully self sufficient. The team will carry all rations and equipment with them for the duration of the trek. This will require very careful planning to ensure the team does not miscalculate. The team will camp wild near the trail, ensuring they have a minimal impact on the local surroundings which will include leaving nothing behind. Where necessary the team will assist local guides and rangers to upgrade the trail through the dense vegetation since the jungle very quickly grows back across trails. The team will obviously have the opportunity to learn about the pristine rainforest environment as they progress.

To qualify for this expedition, you have to be physically and mentally fit, converse basic English and able to attend at least 2 training trip and 5 jogging sessions as planned in the training schedule. This is crucial for your own personal fitness and safety.
