Taman Negara
Enjoy your breakfast while taking in the spectacular scenery of the "Jungle Railway" as the train travels through some of Malaysia's wildest regions. After lunch on board, you arrive at Merapoh station and set off for an exceptional immersion in Taman Negara National Park, one of the world's oldest tropical rainforests, dating back 130 million years. Once there, take part in one of the excursions on offer: venture into the jungle to learn about the habitat of the Malayan tiger and meet the people dedicated to its protection; join a photographer and naturalist for an immersive outing, discovering the forest's fascinating details to the calls of gibbons; explore the region's impressive caves by e-bike; or enjoy a rejuvenating wellness experience featuring sunrise yoga, forest bathing and sound meditation. Return to the train for lunch, then relax during a leisurely afternoon on board before dinner.

You then return to the train in Butterworth for lunch and a relaxing afternoon on board, an ideal moment to visit the Dior Spa.
