EXPERIENCE MALAY VILLAGE LIFESTYLE

PENANG HERITAGE BICYCLE

Would you like to experience authentic Malay Village Life? Come and stay at Pasir Belanda and enjoy the relaxed, laid-back lifestyle of Kelantan. Pasir Belanda is located on the bank of a river in a kampung (village), just outside the bustle of Kota Bharu city towards the well known Pantai Cahaya Bulan beach.

It is a green and peaceful rural area, perfect for exploring on foot, or by bicycle or boat. Here the heart of the Malay culture can be found. As you roam around the kampung you will meet craftsmen and women painting batik, weaving decorative cloth known as songket, carving wood and making kites. You've every chance of seeing a fisherman throwing his net to catch fish or a monkey picking coconuts for his owner.

Diethelm Travel Malaysia suggests a 3 days program including activities at the Pasir Belanda which can be planed before or after a possible beach stay on one of the islands on the East Coast like Pulau Redang, Pulau Perhentian and Pulau Lang Tengah.

SABAH's LOST WORLD – MALIAU BASIN

NORTH BORNEO RAILWAY - IT'S BACK ON TRACK

Officially discovered by a pilot in 1947, the Maliau Basin is an area in south central Sabah encircled by a wall of steep cliffs, rising some 900 metres above the jungle floor. About the size of Singapore and only accessible at the point where the Maliau River exits the basin, the first expedition to the area only took place in 1988.

Over 1,800 species of plants have been identified in the Basin, including 80 different kinds of orchids. Visitors are bound to see exotic birds, with the Maliau Basin having the largest concentration of Helmeted Hornbill, which one can hear croaking loudly in the late evening. There are plenty of monkeys which can be seen almost everyday and other mammals species including the Sumatran Rhinos, Malayan Sun bear and Clouded Leopard. For nature lovers and avid trekkers with a sense of adventure, a visit to the Maliau Basin is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Due to the remote nature of the Maliau Basin, trekkers must submit a copy of their latest Personal Insurance Policy covering them for emergency helicopter evacuation if need be, as well as a Fitness Certificate confirmed by a doctor.

Diethelm Travel Malaysia can assist you in booking a 3 or 6day's trekking trip to the "Lost World".
