Rediscover nature! 

Get away from the city and stay in a forest where elephants roam. Experience nature up close in our hideaway ecolodge, located some 14km from civilization.  An undiscovered gem, Ulu Muda is one of the largest continuous forests in peninsular Malaysia 

We currently offer departures from Penang. From there, we can arrange a private transfer for you to the jetty. Then your jungle adventure will begin, as you travel up the Ulu Muda River in a traditional sampan boat for about an hour. You will stay at an eco-lodge in the area of Kuala Labua. The lodge also serves as a research station to help preserve this rich habitat and the services it provides.

You can stay a minimum of 2 nights or a maximum of 4 nights. All your activities will be accompanied by an experienced jungle guide and conservationist. The schedule of your activities can be adapted to your preference. 

Some of the activities you can experience include visits to salt licks, wildlife watching, swimming and frolicking in cold forest streams, visiting a limestone hill and its mysterious caves, and watching birds and other wildlife. You can also just laze around the lodge grounds listening to nature's music and being awakened by the haunting call of the White-handed Gibbons.

Facilities 

All our rooms are twin rooms with a private bathroom (cold water shower, modern toilet) and a charming balcony overlooking the jungle. The beds are traditional Malay style on a low platform with bedding provided.  You will need to bring your own towels.

Food

All meals and snacks are provided by our local team, but you are welcome to bring your food or nibbles to feel at home.  We can cater to vegetarians, vegans, and other dietary needs, but we need advance notice. Please tell us when you book your trip.
