If you’re a true-blue wanderluster, each new year means coming up with a new list of places to visit and explore. Well, it’s the dawn of 2024, and if you’re in the mood for domestic adventures, we’ve got a list of four destinations you’d do well to consider. And far from being tourist hotspots – these locales are just slightly, and delightfully, off the beaten path.

The serene beauty of Timah Tasoh Lake in Perlis; the paddy fields of Sekinchan in Kuala Selangor; the enchanting Pulau Lang Tengah off the coast of Kuala Terengganu; and the magical charm of Sungai Lembing in Pahang – they all call to you. These four spots promise visitors an extraordinary blend of natural wonders, unique cultural experiences, and unbeatable adventures:

Timah Tasoh Lake

Nestled amid the serene beauty of nature, Timah Tasoh Lake, also known as Empangan Timah Tasoh, is a sprawling 1,300-hectare artificial lake that has captivated visitors since its creation in 1992. Named after the majestic rivers Sungai Timah and Sungai Tasoh, this destination offers breathtaking mountains views, tranquil waters, and awe-inspiring sunsets – a perfect backdrop for mesmerizing photos.

Beyond its visual allure, Timah Tasoh Lake provides a sanctuary for those seeking a peaceful retreat amidst nature. Immerse yourself in the tranquil ambience, where the soothing sounds of rustling leaves and gentle ripples on the lake create a symphony of serenity. For accommodation, there are a few resorts available at the lake you can check out.

For a seamless journey to this hidden gem, consider booking a direct bus on the redBus website from Kuala Lumpur (TBS) to Kangar, Perlis. From Kangar, there are various public and private transport options to reach Timah Tasoh Lake, ensuring a hassle-free escape into nature.
