Day 1: Kuala Lumpur to Cameron Highlands – A Journey into the Cool Hills
The adventure kicks off with an early morning departure from Kuala Lumpur as we head to the refreshing coolness of Cameron Highlands. Nestled at 1542 meters above sea level, Cameron Highlands is famous for its lush tea plantations and crisp mountain air. Along the way, you’ll witness the intricate art of basket weaving, visit the stunning Lata Iskandar Waterfall, and learn about the culture of native settlements.
Once you arrive, immerse yourself in the breathtaking views. A guided tour will take you through tea plantations, where you can experience the journey from leaf to cup at a tea factory (closed on Mondays and public holidays), visit a bustling marketplace, and explore a butterfly farm. After a full day of adventure, relax at a comfortable 4-star hotel for the night.
Day 2: Cameron Highlands to Penang – A Royal Stop and Scenic Views
On Day 2, we depart early for Penang, but not before stopping at the royal town of Kuala Kangsar. Here, you can admire the magnificent Ubudiah Mosque, the royal Iskandariah Palace, and the historic Istana Kenangan – all from the outside, offering a glimpse into Malaysia’s regal past. The journey also includes a visit to the Labu Sayong Center, where skilled artisans craft uniquely shaped pots.
As we cross one of the world’s longest bridges into Penang, known as the “Pearl of the Orient,” you’ll feel the vibrant energy of this island. Settle into your 4-star accommodation and get ready for a full day of exploration ahead.
Day 3: Discovering George Town, Penang – Where History Comes Alive
Penang’s George Town is a treasure trove of history and culture, and this day is all about discovering its hidden gems. Start the day by visiting one of the world’s largest reclining Buddha statues and the magnificent Kek Lok Si Temple, also known as the Temple of 1000 Buddhas, which stands as Southeast Asia’s largest Buddhist temple complex.
From there, enjoy a photo stop at Fort Cornwallis, the landing site of Captain Francis Light, who established the first British colony in Penang. Wander through the Clan Jetties, where waterfront homes stand on stilts, and stroll along Pitt Street, famously known as “The Street of Harmony,” where churches, temples, and mosques have coexisted side by side for centuries. The day wraps up with a breezy trishaw ride through George Town’s lively streets, giving you a chance to take in the colorful atmosphere before retreating to your hotel.
Day 4: Farewell Penang
