The awesome thing about being a Malaysian is that we don’t have to drive far from the city for a tropical getaway. A fitting example would be Janda Baik, Pahang, home to a plethora of vacation spots.
Mark this down for your next nature retreat; because it’s worth your while.
Less than an hour’s drive from Kuala Lumpur, the forests of Janda Baik will make you feel like you’ve been transported to another world. We’ve put together some of the most gorgeous Janda Baik resort and villas for your stay when you get the chance to visit!
