A short getaway from the city to the Pahang highlands


Slides at the swimming pool is not just for kids but adults, too.

Recently, my family and I took a trip to Ulu Yam in Selangor, as well as to the highlands in Pahang for a short break away from our busy Klang Valley life.

We started our journey at 11am, since it only takes a little over an hour to get to Ulu Yam by car. We used the Ulu Yam Baru trunk road, passing through a small town and an industrial estate before the concrete jungle transformed into rolling hills and verdant greens on both sides of the road.
