Malaysia Holiday

These are a series of hill stations at around 5,500 ft in the centre of Malaysia. They are at the heart of Malaysia''s tea industry and are a perfect place to escape the heat of the plains. The scenery is fantastic, topped only by Taman Negara National Park.

This park is one of the most pristine primary rainforests in the world, and one of the largest at over 4300 sq km! It is only accessible by boat and you are guaranteed to see some amazing plant, animal and bird life. You will see everything from cascading waterfalls to butterfly reserves bursting with colour.

One example is Tioman which was the setting for the mythical Bali Hai in the film South Pacific. It is beautiful with fabulous beaches, clear, coral-filled water, technicolour marine life, crystal-clear streams, and the dramatic peaks of Batu Sirau and Nenek Semukut.

As well as being a modern Asian city with gleaming skyscrapers, Kuala Lumpur has retained a lot of its original character. It has many colonial buildings and a vibrant Chinatown area with street vendors and night markets. It also has the twin Petronas Towers, the tallest building in the world, which dominates the skyline.
