The great beauty of Malaysia
The dynamic and vibrant region that is Malaysia offers visitors a delightful and diverse mix of cultures that brings the cities alive. There is something to celebrate in every corner of Malaysia, whether it is one of the many bright and jovial festivals, or a special event, Malaysians are friendly, laid back and very social.
With two separate regions compromising Malaysia, visitors will be spoilt for choice for where to explore; the Malaysian peninsula offers no less than 11 states and to the northern part of Borneo another two. Then there are the islands, which are true tropical paradises.
Discover the hidden gems in and along the coast line, hideaways nestled between sprawling mangroves, stunning rustic cottages that are snuggled between rich rolling hills, and the cashmere sands of the pristine beaches, which make Malaysia a complete feast for the senses.
Getting to Malaysia has never been easier, with flights coming in to the region from all corners of the world. When booking a tour to Malaysia, remember to compare before you book, as the prices of flights and tours are very competitive, and there are so many great deals available.
Malaysia is a vivid collection of contrasts, with sleek modern infrastructure looking up and over mysterious ancient Hindu temples and rustic wooden cottages perched on stilts. You can be just a few metres away from a 5 star hotel and be transported back into time as you wander down historic streets, lined with buildings that are centuries old.
Arriving in Malaysia is an assault on the senses. The sights and sounds of the electric city of Kuala Lumpur, with
its high tech architecture and super modern high rise buildings, to the untamed jungles of Borneo, full of fascinating tribes and rugged mountain peaks down to the tropical island paradise and pristine beaches that are the Perhentian Islands are all waiting to be discovered.
Explore night markets, mystic temples, caves and historic religious sites. Eat hot and spicy rojak with fresh off the grill ikan panggang from the bustling food markets, nibble on fried noodles and frogs legs from a sidewalk café and wash it all down with an ice cold beer, which will be heaven on a hot and sticky day.
Trek through the wild Borneo jungle, spend a night camping along the jade coast in the middle of a wildlife sanctuary, go white river rafting through Beaufort and take the Langkawi cable car up to the top of Gunung Machinchang. Go snorkelling in Pulau Payar and dine in 5 star restaurants in opulent luxury feasting on seafood and sublime Cantonese cuisine, experience belly dancing on the beach and don’t forget to make a stop for the best Chinese food at Fat Mums.
Malaysia is full of magic, mystery, fun and exotic adventures, and will leave you entranced, begging to come back for more. |
