Malaysia
Malaysia is the ‘complete Asia package’. A cultural fusion of colors and flavors, boasting superb beaches, mountain highlands and national parks, plus an ethnic mix of Malay, Chinese, Indian influences and the diverse, indigenous peoples of Sabah and Sarawak. The country’s history is testified to by the stately colonial architecture of Georgetown, whilst its prosperity and modernism is reflected in the gleam of the soaring glass and chrome architecture of its capital Kuala Lumpur. An easily accessible country where traveling around is well organized and pleasant, Malaysia offers as much diversity in its destinations as it does in its culture. The warm climate invites a visit to superb beach resorts on the islands of Langkawi and Penang, whilst great diving and snorkeling await in the clear waters on the East Coast. Tea plantations and a cooler climate are found in the Cameron Highlands whilst adventurous jungle travel and wildlife viewing expeditions await in Sabah and Sarawak on Borneo. Accommodation standards are high, from world class city hotels to relaxed yet modern, beach resorts, and always the welcome from local people is warm and friendly. A full calendar of festivals combine with excellent shopping and a fantastic choice of great value restaurants and cuisines, ensuring that Malaysia has something to suit all visitors at any time of year.
