A damp morning light softens the edges of Kuala Lumpur as the van eases onto the highway and the city gives way to rubber and palm plantations. By midmorning the road climbs; mist tightens around the windscreen and the temperature drops. Arriving in the highlands, the air feels deliberate — cool enough to make you zip a jacket — and the tea terraces stretch across slopes like rows of careful work.
