From Kuala Lumpur Map Out Four-Hour
Escapes to Beautiful Nature Scenes

Lake Temenggor


Make sure you mark your Kuala Lumpur map with these Four-Hour Escapes. You'll be going back to these adventure travel destinations again and again.

Find the wilderness amid highland hill stations, placid lake environments or in the thick cover of rainforest habitat.

Wildlife abounds in the jungles of Belum-Temengor, where you can witness thousands of Plain-pouched hornbills filling the sky or watch Asian elephants meander on forest paths.

Or get to the upper elevations of Cameron Highlands or Bukit Larut (Maxwell Hill) to 'chill' out and enjoy the splendor of hill and mossy forests. Jungle trekking is made easy in the cool mountain air; while abundant rainfall keeps the atmosphere fresh and invigorating.

There are plenty of awesome road trip ideas to take you far away from the urban masses. Family adventure travel is a breeze when the choices include lake and river cruises, mangrove walks, birdwatching and wildlife observation and camping outdoors.

Take the extra time to visit these Four-Hour Escapes and find good examples of ecotourism and opportunities to learn about ecology for kids.
