GEORGE TOWN PENANG

Penang always features as one of the top places to visit in Malaysia especially for the food!

DANUM VALLEY SABAH

By far the best place to visit for ecotourism and to experience untouched jungle. The conservation area boasts incredible biodiversity. Inside the 438 square kilometres, are hundreds, if not thousands, species of fauna and an even variety of flora, that call this area home. Lucky tourists might spot orang utans, pygmy elephants and the clouded leopard. But the biggest appeal at Danum Valley is the lack of human settlement, providing a purer untouched environment. Activities include jungle trekking, night safaris and visiting ancient Kadazan-Dusun burial sites are famous here.
