|
|
Venture into one of the world’s oldest rainforests, and see the most photographed market of Malaysia
| Overview | |
|
Embark on a journey of exploration into the eastern coast of Malaysia.

The town signals the end of the east coast road, and the beginning of Thailand. Its lively market is worth a visit and is the most photographed market in Malaysia, as are its beautiful beaches. Taman Negara is Malaysia's largest National Park and one of the oldest tropical rainforests in the world. Leopards, tigers, boars, deer, elephants, rhinoceros, hornbills, monkeys and many other animals have made it their home. Serene Kuantan city is home to some of the nation’s most popular beaches, in particular, Cherating. History and tradition, beautiful architecture and stunning natural wonders – this tour of Malaysia’s eastern coast promises to be memorable.
