There is something magical about train travel – something that lets you slow down, connect with the world around you, and rediscover the simple joys of exploration. That is exactly what my sister Kulwant and I, along with a group of museum volunteers, experienced on our unforgettable five-day journey along Malaysia’s “Jungle Railway”.

Our group was led by Radzi, who meticulously planned the entire trip. This adventure became more than just a trip through small towns – it was a journey of discovery, history and friendship.
