Malaysia Travel Guide: Trip Highlights, Itineraries, & Tips

Malaysia Trip Highlights

KUALA LUMPUR

You’ll most likely be starting your Malaysian holidays in the amazing capital city — Kuala Lumpur.  This is truly a special place with friendly people, beautiful sights, and delicious food (just like the rest of Malaysia).  During my travels in South-East Asia, I was lucky enough to call this city home for a while.  The first time I visited Kuala Lumpur I actually didn’t enjoy the city too much, but after spending more time there I discovered how special the city really is.

Day 1: Kuala Lumpur City Tour

After having breakfast in our hotel itself, we set out on the half day journey through Kuala Lumpur. Kuala Lumpur is, in doubt, tour purpose of passage to Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur is the capital of Malaysia; it is a standout amongst the most extraordinary and developed city in the country, with world-class hotels, beautiful strip malls, and nearby and worldwide cooking styles Resturants. The visitor includes the well known PETRONAS Twin Towers (tallest structure on the planet), the Palace, National Monument, the National Museum (tickets at your expense), and the National Mosque finally, the impactful Kuala Lumpur Tower. We get free by evenings and enjoy evening near our hotel and enjoy our BBQ dinner, in a famous Italian Restaurant and relax in Kuala Lumpur Hotel.

Day 6: PULAU KAPAS

Pulau Kapas is one of the most amazing and relaxing places you will ever visit or heard.  It’s truly a dream island paradise that has a strange power to keep you there longer than you planned on staying.

  It’s not a rich and fashionable place with tons of 5 Star Resorts or expensive restaurants.  It’s a very austere island, which is what makes it so special. The beach is amazing with the view, the water is perfectly clean, and you’ll be left speechless when you first arrive to feel the beauty of Pulau Kapas.

Day 7: TIOMAN ISLAND

Everyone having a dream to spend some time on beaches if you really have then visit Tioman Island in Malaysia is an awesome place where you can live your dream. It has some of the best scuba-diving sites, trekking and scenic views to food and cultural activities in the whole country.

It is a DUTY-FREE island, which makes mocktail and cocktail on this island pretty cheap! Tioman Island is famous for white sand beaches; Tioman Island is the perfect destination for a weekend getaway and one of the amazing islands in Malaysia. There is more to Tioman Island than learning to dive on a weekend lives aboard from Singapore. The best place to enjoy a relaxed island with sand between your toes.
