Janda Baik As you can see, we have visited Janda Baik many times. It is a typical Malay kampung in the highlands and surrounded by beautiful green hills. Just a 45 minute drive from Kuala Lumpur, it is popular as a getaway destination for a long weekend of relaxation in the countryside. There so so much to do here, so please check out my blogs and go to jandabaik-attractions.com for more information.

Taman Negara Pahang  This huge national park feels remote and is remote! Despite the noisy river boats, a river cruise in the late afternoon sunshine, with the lush forest all around, is truely magical.
