Pahang is largest state in Peninsular Malaysia and covers an area of 35,960 square kilometres. It lies on the east cost and has a population of about one million people.Vast stretches of primeval rainforest dominate the state and form part of Taman Negara of National Park. All the main hill resorts are found here as is Peninsular Malaysia''s highest peak, Gunung Tahan, which poses a challenge to avid mountaineers. Because Pahang has so much to offer including a hot and humid climate all year round with distinct wet and dry season, the national objective of the government is to attract tourism investment in the potential areas earmarked throughout the state.
