Pahang

The Pahang River basin forms a vast territory extending from the Main Range mountains to the South China Sea coastline across eastern Malaysia.

The Pahang region, initially under Sumatran control in 1225, later became part of the Malacca kingdom before receiving British protection in 1887.

Traditional Pahang cuisine incorporates fresh river fish preparations, while local communities maintain strong connections to maritime and agricultural traditions.

The state connects to major Malaysian cities through an extensive network of highways and railways, with Kuantan serving as the primary eastern seaport.

Mount Tahan, reaching 2,187 meters in elevation, stands as the highest peak in Peninsular Malaysia within Taman Negara national park.
