- Day 1
  Kuala Lumpur to Taman Negara
  Leave KL by 7 AM to avoid morning traffic on the Eastern highway. You'll spend about 4 hours driving to Labu Sentral. From there take a one-hour longboat ride to Mutiara Taman Negara Resort. Space is limited on the boat so pack light but bring water and snacks. After checking in take a guided night walk in the rainforest. You'll need closed shoes with good grip for the slippery paths and a headlamp or flashlight to keep your hands free for balance.
- Day 2
  Taman Negara National Park Exploration
  Start your day with a morning hike up Teresik Hill (340m) which takes about 1.5 hours. Getting an early start helps you avoid the worst heat and humidity. Visit the canopy walkway before 10 AM to skip the crowds. The walkway sits 40 meters high in the forest canopy. If heights make you nervous start with shorter sections to get comfortable. In the afternoon take a boat to Lata Berkoh rapids for swimming. Bring water shoes since the rocks can be sharp. During rainy season (November-February) swimming might not be possible so have backup activities planned.
- Day 3
  Return to Kuala Lumpur
  Head back after breakfast via Kuala Tahan. You should reach KL around 7 PM. If you're flying out book flights after 11 PM to account for potential traffic delays. The 242 km journey can take longer on weekends and holidays.

- Day 1
  Kuala Lumpur to Cameron Highlands
  Leave Kuala Lumpur by 8:30 AM to avoid the morning rush hour. Head to the Batu Caves first. The 272 rainbow-colored steps leading to the Hindu temple are best tackled in the morning before it gets too hot. Remember to wear clothes that cover your shoulders and knees for the temple visit. Next stop is Lata Iskandar waterfalls where you can take a break and cool off. The full journey to Cameron Highlands is about 210km and takes roughly 4 hours on mountain roads. If you get carsick easily sit in the front seat and bring some ginger tablets.
- Day 2
  Cameron Highlands Tea Experience
  Start your day at the BOH tea plantation (note that it's closed on Mondays). Go before 10 AM to enjoy the misty morning views and beat the tour buses. After learning about tea making visit the morning market in Tanah Rata to find fresh strawberries and local vegetables. The afternoon is perfect for visiting the butterfly farm and rose garden when it's not too hot. You can spend the late afternoon until about 4 PM exploring Tanah Rata's walking trails. Wear good walking shoes since the paths can get slippery from the frequent rain.
- Day 3
  Cameron Highlands to Penang
  Start your last day with a local breakfast. Try the roti canai with some locally grown tea. Plan to check out by 11 AM and leave around 1 PM for Penang. The 210km trip takes about 6 hours because of the winding roads and evening traffic near Georgetown. Sit on the right side of the vehicle if you want the best views of the valleys.
