Tour Overview
Climb aboard one of South East Asia’s most iconic rail journeys on this 10-day adventure from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore. Rolling past tropical forests, rural villages and limestone cliffs, you’ll experience the beauty and cultural heritage of the less-travelled reaches of Malaysia. Kick off in vibrant Kuala Lumpur, then head to Ipoh to stand beneath a giant Buddha statue in Perak Cave Temple and uncover the stories of Old Town. Swap the trees for coral reefs on a snorkelling trip to the Perhentian Islands, then get back on track to Taman Negara to learn jungle survival skills with Orang Asli tribes. After uncovering Melaka’s rich history by trishaw, wrap it all up with satay and char kway teow in Singapore’s hawker halls.
