The van hums out of Johor Bahru before dawn, headlights cutting a path through rubber plantations and low hills as the driver points out a roadside kopitiam where the day’s first kopi steams. Over eleven hours the landscape shifts—tidal mangroves give way to inland palms, then a green, folded ridge where Sungai Pandan Waterfall waits, its clear pools daring you to cool off for a forty-five minute break.
