Epic Journey: Exploring Kuala Lumpur by Train and Bus
Day 1: The Journey Begins (9 October 2025)
Our adventure starts at Pasir Mas Railway Station, where we board the train bound for Gemas, Negeri Sembilan. The journey by KTM Intercity train typically takes around 9 to 10 hours, covering scenic landscapes of rural Malaysia, from lush green paddy fields to serene villages.
Expected to arrive in Gemas around 9:00 a.m., our bus will be waiting at the station, ready to take us to our first destination—English Language Training Centre (ELTC) in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan. This prestigious institution is dedicated to enhancing English language education and teacher training. We will spend approximately three hours here, exploring its facilities, and gaining insights into modern English teaching methods.
By afternoon, we continue our journey towards Kuala Lumpur, the bustling capital of Malaysia.
Day 2: The Heart of Kuala Lumpur (10 October 2025)
We arrive in Kuala Lumpur at 3:00 p.m. and head straight to our hotel in Kampung Baru, an area known for its rich Malay heritage and delicious traditional food. After settling in, we take some time to rest before heading out for dinner at a nearby restaurant.
As night falls, we embark on an exploration of Dataran Merdeka (Merdeka Square). This historical landmark is where Malaysia's independence was declared on 31 August 1957. Surrounded by colonial-era buildings, the square is an iconic location where visitors can marvel at the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, the Royal Selangor Club, and the towering 100-meter flagpole, one of the tallest in the world. The illuminated skyline of Kuala Lumpur provides a breathtaking backdrop as we absorb the history and significance of this national landmark.
Day 3: Nature and City Wonders (11 October 2025)
The morning begins with a visit to Kuala Lumpur Bird Park, the world’s largest free-flight walk-in aviary. Home to over 3,000 birds from 200 species, this lush sanctuary allows us to experience the beauty of nature in the heart of the city.
Next, we briefly stop at Masjid Negara (National Mosque), where we take a moment to admire the grand architecture and enjoy a peaceful lunch.
In the afternoon, we hop on the famous Hop-On Hop-Off Bus, a perfect way to explore the city’s most iconic attractions, including the Petronas Twin Towers, Bukit Bintang, KL Tower, and Chinatown. The open-roof design lets us fully take in the city's vibrant atmosphere as we cruise through its bustling streets.
After a full day of sightseeing, we return to the hotel for a well-deserved rest.
Day 4: A Grand Farewell (12 October 2025)
On our final day, we visit Putrajaya, Malaysia’s administrative capital, known for its stunning architecture, picturesque bridges, and serene lakes. We take in the breathtaking views of Putra Mosque, Perdana Putra (Prime Minister’s Office), and the famous Seri Wawasan Bridge before having our last lunch together.
By late afternoon, we head to an exciting experience and to Gemas Railway Station, where we catch the 7:30 p.m. train back to Pasir Mas, marking the end of our unforgettable journey.
This trip will be an exciting experience and a valuable educational journey, enriching our knowledge of history, language, and culture.
The trip will be organized by the English Panel of SK Gual To'Deh.
