Tour of cities, jungle and beach
Between the historical monuments, modern high-rises and gigantic shopping malls of Singapore and Kuala Lumpur lie many surprises: a lively market, small streets full of couleur locale, packed Chinese and Indian stores, a Buddhist temple or a mosque. You are never far from street food stalls with fresh dishes. Try a roti canai, temptingly delicious!
Once the route turns inland, the landscape changes dramatically. Around fields and open fields, nature is untamable, dense forests border the view. On foot, you will enter the jungle for the first time. Feast your ears and eyes as you search for primates, civets and toucans. The panoramas of the Cameron Highlands are defined by rolling hillsides, the regular rhythm of rows of tea bushes, and old Tudor-style mansions.
In the cities along Malaysia's west coast, you will be immersed in diverse cultures, all part of the street scene. Your culinary exploration will also take you to faraway places.
Exotic and paradisiacal ends your trip on a tropical island. In a lovely resort you can indulge in the sun and sea, but also here you can once again explore through a tropical rainforest.
