e bus services. Shopping can be done in Danok, Bukit Kayu Hitam that is about 10km away, besides the local shopping outlets, which include a weekly market held on Wednesdays. Jungle trekking and nature studies in the adjacent virgin forest areas are probably one of the most exciting outdoor leisure activities in UUM. The University has its own golf course, lake garden for those who like rowing kayaks, a deer farm, an orchid and a large, over 50 acres fruit orchard.
