That would be Gunung Kinabalu, in Sabah. Gunung Tahan maybe the highest peak in Peninsular Malaysia. In terms of lenght, Tahan is much longer than Kinabalu. Definitely harder too. But I can vouched the scenery atop Kinabalu is one your just cannot forget. Hi Craig,

"Approximately 300 hikers a year attempt to through-hike this massive trek" I didn't realize so few people attempt it each year. I met an Aussie who completed it over about 3 months. I knew it was an impressive feat, especially when he talked about having to carry XX gallons of water through the desert sections in the southwest, but now that I know so few manage each year, I'm even more impressed!

But for example, trekking in Northern Pakistan is absolutely incredible and certainly more so than the Annapurna or Everest trek. Within 3 days distance from the road, you can go to Nanga Parbat basecamp. Or go to K2 basecamp which is a serious 3 week trek. In contrast to Nepal, Pakistan is currently almost empty of tourists, even though security in the Northern part is quite ok.

I also hope a true balance can be found between current needs and long-term preservation. @Gennaro: overuse of these areas is becoming much more of a problem as development and deforestation removes other options.

For example, Annapurna is hardly the most spectacular trek in the Himalayas.. but of course it is one of the more accessible ones.
