Kick things off with lunch right by the river at The Riverside (open daily 10amā10pm)āthe Patin Tempoyak here is sooo good!
After lunch, splash around in the crystal-clear river. Low-key feels like a secret paradise.

Come evening, throw a BBQ party (or order up some local faves!) and look upāstargazing here is magical, the sky is endless š.

Start early with a chill breakfast at the villaāviews of misty mountains guaranteed.
Lace up and hit the trail with a guided trek to Lata Tampik Waterfall (Lata Tampik, Kampung Janda Baik, Bentong, Pahang; open daily, sunriseāsunset). Dunk yourself in the icy-cold falls, snap some epic pics, and just live your best life š¤³.
Head back, freshen up, and pack up those memories.
