I believe friends who have been following us at L&W have seen the previous Road Trip itinerary recommendation~ This time, let’s plan a cool journey to embrace nature 🤗 As we all know, the weather in Malaysia and Singapore 🇸🇬 is very hot except during the rainy season, which can make people feel especially annoyed when going out. However, in these three places located in Pahang, Malaysia, as they are at high altitudes and cool all year round, they will definitely make you chill and in a good mood 🥰 That is Bentong, Genting, and Cameron Highlands ⛰️! If you want to embark on a pleasant journey, then follow L&W’s footsteps👋🏻 and see how to explore these places 😎

【Bukit Tinggi】

Looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city? Bukit Tinggi is a great option. This small town is located in Bentong District, Pahang, Malaysia. Besides the charm of the countryside, visitors can also enjoy the beautiful natural scenery and fresh air. The most famous tourist attractions here are the 🇫🇷 Colmar Tropicale and 🇯🇵 Japanese Village. With a cool climate and exotic architectural designs, you’ll feel like you’re overseas! Some people may even reminisce about their trip to France when they see the familiar Colmar Tropicale buildings. Besides the French and Japanese Villages, there’s also a Rabbit Farm 🐰 and Botanical Garden 🌴 to visit. Take a stroll, snap some photos, have afternoon tea at Starbucks, and you can enjoy a half-day trip here!

⚠️ Admission fees apply (RM14 for adults, half price for children).
🍽️ French, Italian, and Japanese restaurants are available here.

【Genting Highland】

Genting Highland, also known as the Genting Highlands Resort, is about an hour’s drive from Bukit Tinggi. Compared to Bukit Tinggi, there are many more entertainment options available in Genting. There are many scenic spots worth visiting from the mid-hill to the mountain top! Upon arrival at the mid-hill, visitors can first explore the Chin Swee Caves Temple, Genting Strawberry Leisure Farms, Happy Bee Farm & Insect World, and Gohtong Memorial Park. There are also many good restaurants in the mid-hill area, where visitors can satisfy their hunger.

For shopping enthusiasts, they can head to the Genting Premium Outlet in the mid-hill or the Sky Avenue on the mountain top for a shopping spree! For those who enjoy thrilling challenges, they can visit the Genting Skyworlds and Genting Skytropolis theme parks to experience the excitement of the rides. At night, there are many recommended restaurants on the mountain top where visitors can enjoy their dinner. After dinner, visitors can try their luck at the casino (small bets for entertainment only) and then head to the bar street for a few drinks. For clubbing enthusiasts, the nightlife in Genting can surely satisfy them!

【Cameron Highlands】

As your trip comes to an end, get ready to fall in love with one of the most beautiful natural destinations in Malaysia – Cameron Highlands. Situated at an altitude of 1000-2000 meters, Cameron Highlands boasts of beautiful natural scenery and fresh, cool air, hence most of the attractions are outdoors. Here you can find strawberry farms, beautiful flower parks, and rolling green hills. Tourists usually go for hiking on the mossy forest and Gunung Jasar trail or pet sheep at the sheep sanctuary. For tea time, head over to The Lakehouse and Jim Thompson Tea Room to enjoy the incredible scenery.
