Watch the winding brown waters of the Pahang River snaking through the deep green jungle canopy below.
Tasik Kenyir
A major highlight featuring Southeast Asia's largest man-made lake with its 340 islands and emerald waters.
Coastal Approach
The descent usually involves a turn over the South China Sea, providing a panoramic view of the turquoise water.
Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Stadium
Spot the distinctive modern architecture of the regional stadium just before touching down at TGG.
The right side is essential for seeing Lake Kenyir, which is best viewed approximately 15-20 minutes before landing. Choose a morning flight (before 10:00 AM) to avoid the haze and convection clouds that typically build up over the peninsula's interior.

Cross over the 'backbone' of Peninsular Malaysia, featuring dense tropical rainforests and rugged mountain peaks.
