Fact about ABM
In 1991 a group of hashers, road runners, mountain climbers, housewives and families got together to form the Association of Backpackers Malaysia to pursue a common interest – to enjoy the pleasure of enhancing one’s knowledge about the natural beauties of the great outdoor environment. The ABM’s main activities are the delightful and yet inexpensive trekking through countries, mountain climing, caving, camping, trail blazing, rock, mountain biking, aquatic adventure, etc. Before the coming of the P J Challenge, the ABM had held the following challenges:
