When it comes to travel, some people like jam-packed itineraries while others prefer idyllic getaways where they can relax amid nature.
If you are the latter, a resort in Ipoh, Perak might be the escape you’re looking for.
At Xscape Tambun Adventure Resort, you can enjoy the peace and quiet of nature while going on adventure trips with your buddies.
With activities like cave exploration, flying fox, and hill climbing within the vicinity, you won’t have to trek far from your resort room for some quick thrills.
According to Have Halal Will Travel (HHWT), Xscape Tambun is a hidden gem that opened in mid-2019.
Located in Tambun, the resort is about 1.3km away from the Lost World Of Tambun water theme park.
The cluster of chalets is nestled at the base of some stunning limestone formations, and surrounded by lush greenery, making it the perfect escape for those who are looking for some tranquillity.
Imagine forgetting all about the stresses of daily life while admiring the natural beauty around you.
Of course, you’ll be doing that from the comforts of your resort room, which we’ll be offering a sneak peek of in a bit.
City dwellers are probably used to waking up to the sounds of traffic and urban life. At this resort, the rustling of leaves and chirping of insects might be the first sounds you hear in the morning instead.
Its 12 rooms overlook plenty of verdant greenery and limestone formations and can cater to two to four people, according to HHWT.
Families can choose the Family Room with Mountain View that thoughtfully comes with barbecue facilities and a comfortable seating area.
Or get the Family Room with Balcony that offers a splendid view that you can take in while having your morning cuppa.

Just pay for one person, but enjoy activities for two people with accommodation included.
If you prefer not to be holed up all day in your room and want some action, the resort provides plenty of activities for adrenaline junkies too.
Opt for cave adventure exploration for S$18.80 (RM60), which includes a thrilling route through water, with some wading to do.
You can even trek around in the jungle before you reach the caves and explore its cavernous interior.
