A journey across Malaysia<\/strong> means something new and distinct every single day. You may be gawking at the magnificent Petronas Twin Towers<\/strong> one day and lazing on a secluded tropical island the next, you may be taking a historical stroll along UNESCO-listed heritage streets<\/strong>, or may be escaping into the green jungle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes Malaysia<\/strong> a truly rewarding holiday destination of Southeast Asia<\/strong> is the varied nature of holidays offered across the nation be it a romantic honeymoon, a holiday with your loved ones or one with your friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A trip to Malaysia<\/strong> may be everything you dream of with its blend of cosmopolitan, nature and heritage-and with its easy connectivity with India, wide range of places to see and varied modes of accommodation, it is sure to please every kind of traveler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this guide, we have it all for your first trip to Malaysia<\/strong> right from entry permits and flights to the top place to see, the best time to visit, trip cost and the tips to keep in handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Than Just Kuala Lumpur<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many travellers’ first impression might be of the impressive Kuala Lumpur<\/strong> cityscape. But with its tropical island<\/strong> paradises, cool mountain retreats, UNESCO World Heritage towns<\/strong>, antique jungles, and rich ethnic mosaic, Malaysia has a wealth of sights and activities far beyond the capital. Whether lounging on the island sands of Langkawi<\/strong>; wandering the historical laneways of Penang<\/strong>; seeking refuge from the heat in Cameron Highlands<\/strong>; or immersing yourself in wildlife encounters on Borneo<\/strong>, the variety is limitless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well-connected flights, roads and ferries make it easy to combine multiple destinations into a single itinerary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malaysia<\/strong> offers you the combination of travel experiences that are not common in one destination. It is a place where you can discover modern cities<\/strong> and traditional villages<\/strong>, relax on tropical islands and discover world heritage sites<\/strong>, visit refreshing hill stations<\/strong> and immerse in a truly diverse Asian culture<\/strong>; all in one single holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Connectivity of travel is another major factor that tempts travellers to choose Malaysia <\/strong>as their travel destination. Malaysia’s flight, road and ferry connectivity make traveling between locations convenient. You can visit a few destinations in one tour without wasting much of your travel time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Indian travelers Malaysia<\/strong> appears to be a much attractive choice as it has short flying distance between the destination and homeland, easy visa entry, state-of-the-art tourism infrastructure and hotels suitable to suit varied needs and pockets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travel Insight<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Malaysia’s strengths lie in its diverse range of destinations from Kuala Lumpur<\/strong> to Langkawi<\/strong>, Penang<\/strong>, Cameron Highlands<\/strong> and many others. The ease of blending several destinations together in one Malaysian travel plan<\/strong> also means that you’re always likely to achieve a mix of experiences that satisfy city visits, natural sights, cultural adventures and relaxation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malaysia Entry Requirements for Indian Travellers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
