A troop of Malaysian Sikh mountaineers from ‘Baaz Squad 13′ has successfully scaled Gunung Tahan, raising the Nishan Sahib at an elevation of 7,175 ft above sea level – the highest peak in Peninsular Malaysia. The climb on Feb 10, 2024, came after months of intense resistance and strength training. Gunung Tahan, which translates to ‘Mount Endure’, is reputed to be the toughest trek in Malaysia due to its harsh jungle terrain, multiple river crossings, long distance trekking and steep inclines.
