Take it easy in the Highlands
Rarely can you escape the heat in South East Asia which makes the cool (although still very humid) Cameron Highlands fairly unique. You can do plenty of nice rainforest walks here, from easy strolls to gruelling climb's. The many surroundings hills covered in tea plantations make interesting day trips. Overall, a nice place with clean air to kick back for a while.It's not exactly off the beaten path but access is only possible from the west side of Malaysia (e.g. KL). It's a long steep bus ride that boats 360 hair-pin turns.
