The main island is big enough to have plenty to do, but relaxed enough that a day on the beach still feels like an achievement.</p>https://dbayutravel.com/destinations/cameron-highlands/Mon, 05 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0800https://dbayutravel.com/destinations/cameron-highlands/<p>Cameron Highlands is where Malaysians go to wear a jacket. At around 1,500 metres up in Pahang, it&rsquo;s much cooler than the lowlands, with rolling tea estates, vegetable and strawberry farms, and old forest trails.</p>https://dbayutravel.com/destinations/frasers-hill/Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0800https://dbayutravel.com/destinations/frasers-hill/<p>Fraser&rsquo;s Hill (Bukit Fraser) is a small hill station in the forest on the border of Pahang. It&rsquo;s quieter, smaller and less developed than the <a href="https://dbayutravel.com/destinations/cameron-highlands/">Cameron Highlands</a>: no big farms or traffic jams, just cool air, old stone bungalows, a clock tower and walking trails in misty forest. It makes a perfect weekend escape from KL.</p>https://dbayutravel.com/destinations/kota-kinabalu/Tue, 06 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0800https://dbayutravel.com/destinations/kota-kinabalu/<p>Kota Kinabalu, usually just called KK, is the capital of Sabah on the island of Borneo. The city itself is small and easy-going. What draws people is what&rsquo;s around it: tropical islands a short boat ride away, Mount Kinabalu on the horizon, and some of the best wildlife in Southeast Asia within reach.</p>https://dbayutravel.com/destinations/sandakan-kinabatangan/Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0800https://dbayutravel.com/destinations/sandakan-kinabatangan/<p>If you came to Borneo for wildlife, this is where to go. Sandakan, on Sabah&rsquo;s east coast, is the base for the Sepilok orangutan centre and its neighbours. A couple of hours inland, the Kinabatangan River winds through forest that&rsquo;s home to proboscis monkeys, hornbills, crocodiles, wild orangutans and the Bornean pygmy elephant.</p>https://dbayutravel.com/destinations/kuching/Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0800https://dbayutravel.com/destinations/kuching/<p>Kuching, the capital of Sarawak, is one of the most pleasant cities in Malaysia. It&rsquo;s small, green and easy-going, with a historic waterfront on the Sarawak River and a food scene all of its own. The real bonus is how close the wild stuff is: orangutans, proboscis monkeys and rainforest are all within a short drive.</p>https://dbayutravel.com/destinations/gunung-mulu/Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0800https://dbayutravel.com/destinations/gunung-mulu/<p>Gunung Mulu National Park, deep in the rainforest of northern Sarawak, is one of the most remarkable places in Malaysia. It&rsquo;s a UNESCO World Heritage Site, famous for enormous caves, including some of the largest cave passages and chambers in the world, plus the jagged limestone Pinnacles and pristine forest. There are no roads in, so you fly, which only adds to the sense of adventure.</p>https://dbayutravel.com/destinations/taman-negara/Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0800https://dbayutravel.com/destinations/taman-negara/<p>Taman Negara means &ldquo;national park&rdquo;, and this is the big one. It covers a huge stretch of rainforest across three states, and it&rsquo;s often described as one of the oldest rainforests in the world. Most visitors base themselves at Kuala Tahan, a small village on the river opposite the park headquarters, and explore from there.</p>https://dbayutravel.com/guides/cameron-highlands-tea-estates/Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0800https://dbayutravel.com/guides/cameron-highlands-tea-estates/<p>The rolling green tea estates are the reason many people visit the <a href="https://dbayutravel.com/destinations/cameron-highlands/">Cameron Highlands</a>. Tea has been grown on these hills since the colonial era, and today you can walk among the bushes, see how tea is made, and drink it on a terrace with one of the best views in Malaysia.</p>https://dbayutravel.com/guides/climbing-mount-kinabalu/Wed, 07 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0800https://dbayutravel.com/guides/climbing-mount-kinabalu/<p>Mount Kinabalu in Sabah is the highest mountain in Malaysia, at just over 4,000 metres. Thousands of people climb it every year, and you don&rsquo;t need technical climbing skills. You do need a decent level of fitness, good planning, and a booking well in advance. Here&rsquo;s how it works.</p>
