Now you can explore Gunung Tahan on Google Street View

Just in time for Malaysia day, Google wants to take you on a tour at Gunung Tahan via Street View. This is the highest peak in Peninsular Malaysia at 2,187 metres. The new addition joins other national parks which include Kinabalu Park, Mulu Park and Taman Negara Pahang. These virtual experiences were made possible with the volunteers from Google Malaysia and the Malaysian Nature Society.

While most typical street view locations are captured by a street view car, capturing off-road locations are more challenging and it’s made possible with the Street View Trekker. This is specially designed backpack with a mounted 360 degree camera on top.

According to Google, the Kuala Tahan-Kuala Tahan trail takes 7-8 days to trek on a return trip from Kuala Tahan to the summit. To capture the trail for street view, they had to overcome undulating ridges and river crossings on foot. With Street View, Google wants to showcase the many attractions that are available in Malaysia and hopefully that would attract more people to visit themselves. You can start exploring Gunung Tahan yourself over here.

Apart from Gunung Tahan, Google has also added the following locations in time for Malaysia Day.

1. KL Sentral
2. KLIA and KLIA2
3. Aquaria KLCC
4. National Library / Perpustakaan Negara
5. Galeria Sri Perdana
6. Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary
7. National Planetarium / Planetarium Negara
8. Museum of Asian Art
9. Kek Lok Si Temple
10. Kuching Friendship Park
