Tour of cities, jungle and beach
Among the historic monuments, modern high-rises and giant shopping malls of Singapore and Kuala Lumpur are many surprises: a lively market, small streets full of local, packed Chinese and Indian shops, a Buddhist temple or a mosque. You are never far away from street tents with fresh dishes. Taste a roti canai, temptingly delicious!
As soon as the route ve deflects to the interior, the landscape changes dramatically. Around fields and open fields, nature is indomitable, dense forests limit the view. On foot you enter the jungle for the first time. Give ears and eyes a living during your search for primates, civet cats and toucans. The panoramas of the Cameron Highlands are defined by sloping slopes, the regular rhythm of rows of tea bushes, and tudor-style old country houses.
In the cities along the west coast of Malaysia you will be immersed in various cultures, all of which are part of the streetscape. Your culinary discovery will also take you to far-flung places.
Exotic and paradisiacal, your journey ends on a tropical island. In a lovely resort you can indulge in the sun and the sea, but here again you can explore through a tropical rainforest.
