Pahang

Pahang, the largest state in Peninsular Malaysia, is endowed with a diverse range of attractions. Nearly two-thirds of the state is enveloped in verdant rainforest, making it a magnificent enclave of lush greenery, exotic wildlife and natural wonders.

The country's premier national park, Taman Negara, as well as the Endau Rompin State Park, contain an astounding ecological diversity with a vast collection of flora and fauna. The Orang Asli, Malaysia's indigenous people, with their intriguing traditions and way of life, add colour to Pahang's heritage.

Pahang's long, scenic coastline is a paradise of swaying palms and sandy beaches washed by the South China Sea. Cherating Beach and Tioman Island are renowned as the region's most popular beach resorts, captivating sun seekers with their exciting beach activities, underwater attractions and relaxed charm.

The formidable Main Range of mountains divide the state into east and west, and Gunung Tahan, the highest peak in the peninsula, provides challenging adventures for serious climbers. The state's mountainous terrain has also endowed it with several invigorating hill stations, ideal for fun-filled family holidays.

Genting Highlands, dubbed the City of Entertainment, and Bukit Tinggi, a French-themed resort, are excellent getaways situated an hour's drive from Kuala Lumpur. Fraser's Hill and Cameron Highlands are quaint hill stations, which offer fantastic bird watching and nature trails. Kuantan, the state capital, is an interesting mix of modern buildings and charming old-world cottage industries.
