Overview

You will not find quaint home-stay kampongs, glitzy shopping arcades or royal museums here. Instead, you will experience the tranquil silence of the beach at the break of dawn. How about the toothless smile of a fisherman as he gathers his nets for the day? Pontian is home to 1,500 fishermen, their families and those architectural wonders—houses on stilts. The Gunung Pulai Waterfalls, its main attraction, lies within the Gunung Pulai Recreational Forest. Here, you can indulge in some adventure--camping, swimming and jungle trekking.
