1. Forest Research
Institute Malaysia (FRIM)
Located in the state
of Selangor, 30 minutes away from Kuala Lumpur; the capital city of
Malaysia. The Kepong site facility boasts a scenic view of the forest
from above canopy level and we might be able to spot Kuala Lumpur! It
was declared a national heritage in 2012. With a good variety of
activities that can be done in the park, from picnicking to
bird-watching it will be sundown before we even know it. Campers are
welcome, however; it is best to note the opening hours as some of the
attractions are weather dependent.
2. Cameron Highlands
If you prefer the open
expanse of land over the crowded rainforests, Cameron Highlands in
Pahang is a great choice. It is famous amongst locals for being a
great place to retreat from the regular heat of the city. With a
natural temperature of around 12-degree celsius, tea plantations
flourish and prosper in the highlands. Cameron Highlands is known for
being one of the bigger producers of tea leaves in Malaysia. Not only
that, the temperature makes hikes and treks along the highlands much
more pleasant and cooling.
3. Mulu Caves National
Park
Eco-tourism isn't
limited to West Malaysia, to the of the country in the state of
Sarawak, is a long network of caves home to around 12 species of
bats.
With
so many bats setting up camp in the caves, it's going to get really
hectic in the evening when they horde out to hunt for food (not
exactly the best thing for people who are afraid of bats); but the
trek into the cave is worth its salt. There
are other
attractions and options like Eden Valley Walk, the Medicine Plant
Trail, and the Paku Waterfall if you want a change of scenery.
Bats leaving the cave, don't say we didn't warn you XD
With that, we wish everyone have plenty of fun if you do decide to travel to the destinations listed above. Of course there are more options than the ones above but these are a few we thought are interesting.
Till next time, safe travels everyone!!
