Sleep Under The Stars With These 5 Glamping Spots

19 Jun 2020

Malaysia is a treasure trove of rainforests and the best way to experience this is by camping! For some, the idea of camping might be off-putting - no thanks to mosquito bites and the lack of air-conditioning in the great outdoors. The solution? The more atas version of camping, aka ‘Glamping’! Here are five awesome glamping spots in Malaysia for you to try out:



Sunway Lost World Of Tambun Ipoh, Perak

 

Perfect for: Families with young kids and teenagers.

For a similar glamping option, The Sticks Eco Resort offers 12 ‘tendoks’ - a combination of tent and ‘pondok’, an open hut made from bamboo or wood. If you’re glamping as a pair, then go for the Riverside Tendok - a charming ‘tendok’ that has an exclusive stairway to the river! There are also plenty of activities to do around the area: jungle trekking, white water rafting, and paragliding too. Prices per night start at RM206 depending on which tendok you choose.
