At the foothills of the karstic Nakawan Range, a short uphill drive will bring you to the Wang Kelian viewpoint. Here, you may choose to take a buggy ride or climb the short distance to the awe-inspiring panoramic views.

Next, a guide will lead you to your e-bike and take you on a downhill ride to a valley where wildlife and primates such as the stump-tailed macaque, lar gibbon, dusky langur and long-tailed macaque may, with luck, be spotted. At the bottom of the valley, refuel with refreshments served near a natural cascade.

Continue cycling until you reach a secret garden at the foot of a hill.

From here, a local cave guide will lead you into Gua Kelam, which literally translates as Cave of Darkness. Illuminated walkways take you through the cavernous spaces where rock formations, clear blue lakes and vestiges of mining equipment add to the intrigue.

Emerging into the light on the other side of the cave, hop back into the saddle and pedal around Kaki Bukit, an old-world village that used to bustle with activity in the days when tin was a precious metal. Stop by a traditional coffee shop to enjoy cold Chinese tea served with fresh local fruits before being whisked back to the train for the next leg of your journey.
