Pahang, the
largest state in Peninsular Malaysia, is endowed with a
diverse range of attractions. Nearly two-thirds of the state
is enveloped in verdant rainforest, making it a magnificent
enclave of lush greenery, exotic wildlife and natural
wonders.
The country's premier national park, Taman Negara, as well
as the Endau Rompin State Park, contain an astounding
ecological diversity with a vast collection of flora and
fauna. The Orang Asli, Malaysia's indigenous people, with
their intriguing traditions and way of life, add colour to
Pahang's heritage.
Pahang's long, scenic coastline is a paradise of swaying
palms and sandy beaches washed by the South China Sea.
Cherating Beach and Tioman Island are renowned as the
region's most popular beach resorts, captivating sun seekers
with their exciting beach activities, underwater attractions
and relaxed charm.
The formidable Main Range of mountains divide the state into
east and west, and Gunung Tahan, the highest peak in the
peninsula, provides challenging adventures for serious
climbers. The state's mountainous terrain has also endowed
it with several invigorating hill stations, ideal for
fun-filled family holidays.
Genting Highlands, dubbed the City of Entertainment, and
Bukit Tinggi, a French-themed resort, are excellent getaways
situated an hour's drive from Kuala Lumpur. Fraser's Hill
and Cameron Highlands are quaint hill stations, which offer
fantastic bird watching and nature trails. Kuantan, the
state capital, is an interesting mix of modern buildings and
charming old-world cottage industries.
Pahang's majestic nature, exciting eco-adventures, beautiful
beaches, bustling townships, quaint villages, friendly
people, unique handicrafts and delicious food make for a
mesmerising and unforgettable vacation. Come, discover this
gift of nature!
