Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Embrace a slower pace of travel on Malaysia's 100-year-old Jungle Railway. Chug through dense jungle, along river valleys and past misty hills – all while watching life unfold in traditional villages along the way.
Hike through rainforests in Taman Negara and meet the Orang Asli, one of Peninsular Malaysia’s last Indigenous groups. Discover their ancient forest survival skills, from traditional hunting techniques to the secrets of living in harmony with the jungle.
Visit two UNESCO cities. Uncover the history and creativity of Ipoh’s Old Town as you explore murals, old-style buildings and narrow alleys lined with antique shops, then dive into Melaka’s spice trading past as you zip through its heritage streets on a trishaw.
Day trip to the tropical Perhentian Islands for a snorkelling adventure. Swim in crystalline waters, explore colour-popping reefs and snorkel among curious clownfish, parrotfish, rays and maybe even turtles.
Eat your way around Lau Pa Sat, one of Singapore’s oldest and most celebrated hawker markets, set against a skyline of shiny high rises.
Is this trip right for you?
This trip involves some long travel days, early starts and using a mix of trains and buses to get around. Trains are comfortable and often decked out with air-conditioning and toilets.
Itinerary
Journey through the lush interior of Peninsula Malaysia on the historic Jungle Railway
Climb aboard one of South East Asia’s most iconic rail journeys on this 10-day adventure from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore. Rolling past tropical forests, rural villages and limestone cliffs, you’ll experience the beauty and cultural heritage of the less travelled reaches of Malaysia. Kick off in vibrant Kuala Lumpur, then head to Ipoh to stand beneath a giant Buddha statue in Perak Cave Temple and uncover the stories of Old Town. Swap the trees for coral reefs on a snorkelling trip to the Perhentian Islands, then get back on track to Taman Negara to learn jungle survival skills with Orang Asli tribes. After uncovering Melaka’s rich history by trishaw, wrap it all up with satay and char kway teow in Singapore’s hawker halls.
