AN INVITATION TO THE TAIWAN HUNDRED PEAKS TW100 CHALLENGE 挑戰百岳
Milestones are an excellent way to track goals. They keep us motivated. Prizes are a tangible way to prove we were successful in accomplishing something. Our dreams must be more than milestones.
At Adventures Unlimited, we do set targets and milestones. Be it the Malaysia G7 or the dual pilgrimage status, we want each member to believe that nothing is impossible if they set their minds upon it.
When you are looking for the kind of adventure that refreshes your soul with the perfect combination of forest cover and altitude, the majestic peaks of Taiwan is the real deal. This adventure is all about experiencing and conquering the Baiyue (百岳) which is a set of 100 mountain peaks of Taiwan.
There are over 260 mountain peaks over 3,000m in Taiwan, but the Baiyue (百岳) is the unique and daring set of 100 peaks that every adventurer should experience. To take on this challenge, several trails have been made over time.
There is a seriousness about these treks that is personally attractive for us.
Could the TW100 series take years to complete?
Maybe.
Will it be tough?
Absolutely. But you can do it.
We invite you to come join us and let’s earn this prize together.

Going to the mountain peaks is not only about conquering or competing, but it is also more about the personal challenge of finding yourself at the position of going one step further than you have ever gone before. It is about the new feeling, and a new life opens up to you at the peak of every challenge. You not only enjoy the view, but you also have the fulfillment of another achievement and the joy of winning.
On this fantastic trip, you will have the opportunity to be alone on some parts of the trail and reconnect with the nature around you as your soul bows and receives nourishment from the very soul of the earth. You will also have the time to chat, bond and connect with other people who are going on the trip with you. There will be laughter, there will be challenges, there will be freedom, and there will be time to reflect and ponder on life afresh.
A combination of the breathtaking views, the amazing feeling of conquering peak after peak, the delicious meals, and the spirit restoring challenges; no trip can beat Taiwan peaks. This is also the best time of the year to visit as it is still mild enough to catch all the fun.
Stop allowing life to continue happening to you and dictating the pace you live it; come with us to the peaks of Taiwan and set your soul free!
