Default Re: Nepenthes of Gunung Tahan

The reasons alot of you have not heard or seen the plant is because you need to do alot of hiking to get there. For those who want to see the plant in situ, I got this info from Wikipedia:

"All climbers can reach the peak from the most popular trails - the Kuala Tahan classic trail. This return trail typically takes seven days. Climbers have to trek across undulating ridges and make several river crossings before finally reaching the foot of the mountain to make the final ascent.

Climbers without adequate physical fitness or training are not advised to attempt Gunung Tahan.

The other two trails are Merapoh (Sungai Relau) and via Kelantan. An average climber on these trails would take five days."


Good Luck.
