Travel from Kuala Lumpur to Penang, the Ulu Muda Forest Reserve and the Cameron Highlands on a 10-day trip that brings together city life, village stays, rainforest and highland scenery. Start in Malaysia’s capital before continuing to George Town for time in its historic streets and a walking orientation. In Teluk Bahang, stay with a local family, join traditional games, visit a batik workshop, watch a silat performance and share a home-cooked meal. In Ulu Muda, travel by boat into the forest reserve for river cruising and guided jungle walks, with time to look for wildlife along the way. The final stretch reaches the Cameron Highlands for cooler air, tea country and mossy forest walks before returning to Kuala Lumpur. This trip includes some longer public transport days and simple homestay accommodation. Travellers need to carry their own luggage, including short walks between transport points and accommodation.
