View of Bagan temples

Highlight: I rode in a hot-air balloon over the temples and watched
a number of sunsets in Bagan, but nothing compares to the (free)
million dollar sunrise view in Bagan from Buledi Temple, Myauk Guni or Entrance to Htilominlo Pahto Temple
Sulamani Temple. Wake up early — it is absolutely worth it!

Cameron Highlands, Malaysia

Cameron Highlands is to Kuala Lumpur, what Khao Yai is to Bangkok.
A short two to three hour ride from Kuala Lumpur, and you’ll nd
yourself in the serenity of lush mountains adorned with never-ending
tea plantations. The refreshing cool climate is another great reason to
visit this beautiful hill-station area.

Things To Do:
• Go strawberry picking at one of the many strawberry farms.
• Visit the Boh Tea Plantation; tea is one of Malaysia’s main exports.
• Take an excursion to the Mossy Forest or, if you’re up for it, hike up
Gunung Brinchang for the amazing scenery and rewarding views at
Tea plantations the end of the hike.

Strawberry farm

Highlight: The highlands’ numerous hiking trails and eco-
conscious trekking make for an enticing destination. With
over 15 di erent trails of varying levels to choose from, and
optimal trekking temperatures, Cameron Highlands is a
trekker’s paradise.
