Situated on the Banjaran Titiwangsa mountain range, Peninsular Malaysia’s backbone, Pahang’s landscape is largely dominated by jungle. The Cameron Highlands and Fraser’s Hill offer a good taste of Malaysia’s erstwhile colonial glory while the wildly popular Genting Highlands is a favourite stomping ground for Kuala Lumpur’s nouveau rich (due largely to the fact that it houses the country’s only casino). Yet it’s the tea plantations, strawberry farms and wealth of jungle treks along these hill stations that really entice the savvy traveller. Eco-friendly resorts and hotels have been springing up all over the state – especially around the hill stations; they’re beautiful and most of these ventures boast affordable rates.
