Cameron Highlands Malaysia

Enjoy the cool remnants of oldest rainforest in Cameron Highlands Malaysia. Just hurry, because Malaysia is not doing anything to make sure its rainforest last another 100 years.

 

We did a jungle walk today nearby the Cameron Highlands Resort in Malaysia’s oldest rainforest. First and foremost: coming out of the forest, you can feel the heat rising with more than 5 degrees and you start sweating fast. Inside the rainforest, it’s all cool, even carrying a backpack didn’t make me sweat.

 

The poisonous viper in the above picture was rescued by our guide who resides in the Cameron Highlands Resort and will be released again in the jungle of Cameron Highlands Malaysia once it grows stronger.

 

I am in the midst of making a small website about all things to do in Cameron Highlands Malaysia, so go and have a look there for more info about hotels, activities and restaurants.

Shangri La’s Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa

Published by First Time Visitors under ASIA, Malaysia

Shangri La's Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa

A hidden gem 45 minutes away from Penang Airport: the luxurious Shangri La’s Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa.

 

Do book an all inclusive package, because, well, all is inclusive: even the drinks you need to cool down sitting on the Shangri La Rasa Sayang Penang beach, not to mention the champagne at dinner.

 

Included meals are all world class 5 star gourmet feasts… But eat all you can, as the gym, sauna, steam room, Thai chi and yoga classes are all inclusive as well. And fall asleep on one of their 4 different pillow cases for the most fuzzy sleepers!

 

Unlike other luxury hotels that try to keep you as long as possible on their premises, the Shangri La Rasa Sayang Resort offers a free bus to visit Penang and Georgetown.

 

If you want to arrive to Penang by air, do check out budget airline AirAsia as they offer special packages when staying in the Shangri La’s Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa.

Cameron Highlands

Just updating you all from Cameron Highlands, enjoying a cup of the best Malaysian Boh Tea on a cool terrace in front of the hotel guest’s computer of the Cameron Highlands Resort.

 

Cameron Highlands is a great getaway from the hustle and bustle of Kuala Lumpur, as long as you make sure not to book during Malaysian school holidays. Now it’s September, the late monsoon is coming, it’s Tuesday and I almost have the entire Cameron Highlands Resort for myself :-)

 

I booked an all inclusive package which means that you can eat in the hotel. This is a must because eating outdoors in Cameron Highlands meaning you will have to share your food with the flies. Cameron Highlands is Malaysia’s and Singapore’s vegetable garden, lots of chicken and cow dung is used, attracting more flies than tourists.

 

The meals in the Cameron Highlands Resort are quite pricey, but it beats having to eat with one hand whilst the other is trying to wave the flies away.

 

I am in the midst of making a small website about all things to do in Cameron Highlands Malaysia, so go and have a look there for more info about hotels, activities and restaurants.
