    • Day 1

      Penang to Cameron Highlands

      Leave Penang by 8:30 AM for your 330km journey to Cameron Highlands. The 5-6 hour drive includes several interesting stops. Make your first stop at the Royal Town of Kuala Kangsar to see the stunning Ubudiah Mosque. Its domes look particularly beautiful in morning light. Stop by the Labu Sayong Center before 2 PM to watch local women making traditional water vessels. As you climb to 1,542 meters toward Cameron Highlands bring plenty of water since the altitude can make you thirsty. Once you arrive settle in with traditional afternoon tea at your hotel.

      Mount Brinchang Exploration

      Start your Mount Brinchang visit early before clouds roll in around 10 AM. The peak sits at 6,666ft. You'll need good hiking shoes for the mossy forest boardwalk since morning dew makes it slippery. Visit Sungai Palas Boh tea estate's factory before noon to see production in action. They're closed on Mondays. Go strawberry picking at local farms in the late afternoon when it's cooler. Remember to bring cash since you pay by weight. The day market is less crowded around 4 PM when locals do their shopping.

    • Day 3

      Cameron Highlands to Penang

      The morning light between 7-8 AM creates beautiful views of the tea plantations. Perfect for photos. Plan to leave around 10 AM which gives you time to browse the local markets one last time. The road back to Penang winds downhill quickly. If you get carsick sit in front and pack some ginger candy.

    • Day 1

      Kuala Lumpur to Rompin Rainforest Lodge

      Leave KL by 7 AM to avoid heavy traffic on your 4-hour drive east to Rompin State Park. You'll pass through palm plantations before reaching untouched rainforest. After checking in spend your afternoon at the Rainforest Discovery Centre learning about local plant life. The 80-meter suspension bridge over Kinchin River is best visited between 3-5 PM when the sun isn't as strong and you'll get better photos. In the evening join a night walk with your nature guide to spot nocturnal wildlife. Wear dark clothes to increase your chances of seeing the rare Sunda Colugo (Flying Lemur).

    • Day 2

      River Cruise and Waterfall Trek

      Start your day with a 2-hour cruise on Sungai Kinchin when animals are most active. Bring binoculars to spot hornbills and macaques up in the trees. Stop for a swim in the clear waters of Sungai Kernam but remember to pack water shoes for the rocky riverbed. After lunch set out on a 4-hour round-trip hike to Mahkota Waterfall. The trail gets muddy and steep but seeing the 50-meter waterfall is worth the effort. Keep an eye out for elephant tracks as this is part of their forest pathway. Take time to swim in the pool at the base of the falls.

    • Day 3

      Return to Kuala Lumpur

      Take one last morning nature walk before departure. The drive back to KL takes about 4 hours. If you're planning to visit the islands you can take a 1-hour detour to Mersing Jetty. Pack a light raincoat since afternoon rain is common in the forest throughout the year.
