Includes: Pahang · Best time: March–October
Overview:
Pahang offers a sanctuary of rainforest, mountains and colonial-toned retreats—a natural playground for both leisurely walkers and wildlife seekers. Explore moss-shrouded trails in Cameron Highlands, glide above jungle canopies in Taman Negara, and unwind in eco-lodges near mist-swept waterfalls. Rustic coastal villages round out the experience with a dash of laid-back charm and fresh seafood.
Highlights:
- Cameron Highlands: Stroll through emerald tea plantations, cool mossy forests, and aromatic vegetable farms before unwinding in colonial-period guesthouses.
- Cherating: A sleepy east-coast beach town where conservation meets chaotically colourful local boats—and nightly turtle releases under the moon.
- Fraser’s Hill: Escape to this hilltop retreat of birdwatcher’s trails, cool climate and charming Tudor-style lodges.
- Taman Negara: Trek ancient jungle paths, balance across canopy walkways, and take night safaris in one of the world’s oldest tropical rainforests.
