Although not his fault but the treetop walkway is not in use due to a fallen tree a few weeks ago, so could be out for some time. The walk was challenging but beautifully worth the trek and the guide was fun and informative about the plants. We know that with nature seeing wildlife is not guaranteed so we were not disappointed when we didn’t see much. The village visit was a good way to see…”

“Ipoh spesso non viene menzionata nei vari itinerari della Malesia, ma è una meta per cui vale la pena “perdere” una giornata. Ricca di storia, con i suoi templi all’interno delle grotte, simili alle Batu Caves ma ancora più particolari, lascia veramente senza parole. La città in sé invece è rinomata prevalentemente per diverse prelibatezze, da provare il famoso White Coffee all’Old Town White Coffee. Siamo stati anche molto fortunati a incontrare Yuvanesh, guida estremamente preparata, che ci ha anche fornito un servizio esclusivo fotografico, dandoci preziosi consigli e scattandoci bellissime foto! Se state più di 2 settimane in Malesia, tenete in considerazione di visitare Ipoh!”
