After breakfast in your cabin, soak up the vistas as the train courses past the rice paddies and timeless rural villages of western Malaysia. Following lunch, there is a choice of enticing excursions. Alight at Arau Station for a car transfer to the jetty followed by a speed boat cruise to one of Langkawi’s most beautiful beaches. Enjoy easy relaxation in idyllic seclusion, reconnecting with nature and sampling wellness activities. Unwind with yoga, a sound bath and a massage, take a dip in the ocean or the nearby swimming pool, and enjoy tropical fruit, skewered delicacies and healthy drinks. Your glimpse of paradise continues with a boat ride through the narrow channels of Kilim Geoforest Park, where mangrove forests meet coastal karst in an otherworldly natural landscape.
Alternatively, opt for an adventurous discovery of Perlis Geopark, recently recognised as Malaysia’s 10th National Geopark for its remarkable geology and biodiversity. Embark on a cycle ride through breathtaking landscapes teeming with primates and birds, before entering an atmospheric former tin mine and unearthing its fascinating history. Or choose the final option for an immersion in the rich art and culture of Perlis. Learn to make your own batik, visit the personal collection of an antique enthusiast and prepare your own afternoon tea in a traditional Malaysian coffee shop. Returning to the train, an evening of lively celebrations with local entertainers awaits in the Piano Bar Car, accompanied by a delicious dinner.
