Day 4 Kuala Lumpur - Taman Negara (B, D) After breakfast, you ll depart your hotel at 8.00am and travel overland to Kuala Tembeling Jetty arriving at approximately 11.00am.

The driver will meet you at Kuala Tahan Jetty and proceed with your overland journey to Cameron Highlands, which will take about 4.5 hours. Cameron Highlands are named after William Cameron, a British surveyor who stumbled across the plateau in 1885 during a mapping expedition. Failing to mark his discovery on the map, the location of the plateau was finally confirmed by subsequent expeditions and in 1925, Sir George Maxwell visited the highlands and decided to develop it as a hill station. A development committee was then formed which functioned until During this time, the winding road up to the highlands was constructed - which was done entirely by manual labour! 7

8 En-route you will have the opportunity to take lunch (not included.) In the afternoon you will arrive at the Lakehouse and rest of the day is yours to spend at leisure, although afternoon Tea will be served at the terrace (anytime between 3.00pm pm; please inform the reception on your preferred timing on your arrival.)

9 Before we get to Ipoh though we ll stop at Sam Poh Tong, a famous cave temple located in Gunung Rapat, about 5km south of Ipoh. This cave temple is said to be the biggest of its kind in the country, and from your visit you ll see that is an impressive work of art with various statues of Buddha interspersed among the stalactites and stalagmites. According to legend, a monk from China who was passing through Ipoh discovered the cave in 1890 and he decided to make it his home and a place for meditation. He remained there for 20 years until his death. Today, nuns and monks who dedicate their lives to Buddha still occupy the Sam Poh Tong. Afterwards we ll move on to the older part of Ipoh, popularly known as Old Town. This quaint town was once a thriving commercial centre in the 19th century as a result of the tin mining boom, and we ll walk the streets and take you on a culinary-historical adventure to savour the best that Ipoh has to offer from the quintessential Ipoh Sar Hor Fun (Rice Noodles) to melt-in-your-mouth kaya puffs to the popular soya bean drink and dessert. Then we ll walk off these calories by exploring historical buildings built during the British colonial era. From here, we ll head up north to Penang passing over the Penang Bridge and arrive in the city in the late afternoon. After checking in, the rest of the day and evening are free for you to explore the hotel and environs. Day 9 Penang (B, L) Eat a light breakfast today! Around 8am, you ll meet your driver / guide and proceed to the oldest wet market in Georgetown. Taking a stroll down this market you will find fresh food, cheap clothes and knick-knacks being sold in a way that has not changed for generations, and existed long before the arrival of hygienic, but impersonal, air-conditioned supermarkets. From your walk you ll appreciate the feeling of cheerfulness about these noisy, bustling places and you will find them entertaining. You may also try your hands at picking and prodding, haggling and being rejected! As you walk past these different food stalls offering different morning breakfasts please do let your driver / guide know if you would like to try some of these tastes and flavours, and definitely ask about the all-time favourite Roti Bakar & Kopi O. After enjoying some local favourites, walk the streets of Georgetown. Starting your 9

Along the way, we also walk past Saree shops, accessories, joss sticks and an old mill grinding chilly and spices. Then past food stalls with an explanation on the different morning breakfasts offered by these stalls including Roti Canai and Teh Tarik. From Market Street, we turn to Queen Street and visit the Sri Mariamman Temple (a Hindu Temple) and then continue on to the final stop that is the Khoo Kongsi. The Khoo Kongsi is a large Chinese clan house with elaborate and highly ornamented architecture, a mark of the dominant presence of the Chinese in Penang. It is also one of the city's major historic attractions. It is located in Cannon Square in the heart of the oldest part of the city of George Town in the midst of narrow, winding lanes and quaint-looking pre-war houses exuding a palpable old world charm. After lunch, we head to Kek Lok Si Temple. Built in 1891, this is one of the largest and finest temples complexes in Southeast Asia. With millions of magnificent images of Buddha and hundreds of beautiful meaningful carvings, sculptures and murals in the interior and exterior of the temple halls, pagodas and archways, Kek Lok Si Temple is not just a centre for Chinese culture and Buddha teaching, but also an unique heritage treasure where Mahayana Buddhism and traditional Chinese rituals blend into a harmonious whole, both in the temple architecture and the daily activities of worshipers.
