Exploring the Wilderness of Malaysia
A great holiday idea is to explore the wilderness of Malaysia. The best way to start is from the capital Kuala Lumpur. The adventure to explore the wilderness of Malaysia starts by booking a bus ticket online to the Kuala Tahan National Park.
The Kuala Tahan National Park is a three and half hour ride from Kuala Lumpur along the East Coast Expressway. All a tourist needs is a bus ticket to get to the entry gate of this adventure spot. The adventure inside the sanctuary starts with a boat ride to reach the Lata Berkoh and waterfall cascades. Tourists can swim there though there are warnings about strong currents. The next leg of this wilderness adventure is a canopy walk over a suspension bridge that is more than half a kilometer long. This is one among the largest suspension bridges in the world. This canopy passes over a tropical forest, and this is a great way to explore the wilderness of Malaysia. There is even an option of jungle trekking for which a guide needs to be hired. The forest has rare surprises such as flowers that bloom only at night, river dragons, and stick insects. A night safari is recommended on foot or with a 4 wheel drive vehicle.
The next place to explore the wilderness of Malaysia is to the Kilim Karst Geoforest Park on the island of Langkawi. The highlight of this 5-hour excursion is the mangrove forest, the Batcave. The boat excursion goes on to a river where there are floating houses, restaurants, and even floating fish farms. There are monkeys in the forest, and many hop on board boats during the boat ride through the channels in the forest. The fish farms have special fish such as stingrays. There are opportunities to see the fishing eagle, and tourists can throw scraps of food in the river to see the Eagles in action. Finally, the river gives way to the sea, and this tour of the Geoforest goes around the Tanjung Rhu Bay to make a complete circuit of the island. This close brush with the actual wilderness of a mangrove forest is an unforgettable experience.
There is a third-holiday idea to explore the wilderness of Malaysia. This is an adventure into the wilderness of volcanoes. This unique tour consists of a visit to the Tawau Hill Park in the eastern province of Malaysia known as Sabah. All that needs to be done to start on this volcano wilderness adventure is to book a bus ticket online. The Tawau Hill Park has sulfur springs and includes a visit to Mount Lucia. The tour includes a jungle trek to the top of Mount Lucia, which is 3600 feet high. The jungle trail of these treks leads to Mount Magdalena and Mount Maria. All these volcanoes are Pleistocene volcanoes and provide a great view of the Semporna Peninsula. Mount Maria has the potential of being a source of the geothermal source of power.
The main volcano of this exclusive volcanic wilderness expedition is a visit to Mount Bombalai, which is considered to be the only active volcano in Malaysia. This is a cinder cone type of volcano, and Mount Bombalai is part of a larger volcanic field in the Semporna Peninsula. Mount Bombalai is in northeast Borneo and close to the Indonesian border. This volcano is a stunning sight with its 900 feet wide crater, and 2 channels of lava flow to the coastal area can be seen. The guided treks go to the top of all the volcanoes, and this volcano expedition is the rarest in the world and a great way to explore the wilderness of Malaysia.
