Visit Georgetown – Georgetown is often thought to be Malaysia’s most fascinating city with its crisscrossing streets teeming with bustling shops, historic buildings, and excellent nightlife. The city was listed as a World Heritage site in 2008 and is now surging in popularity.
Be adventurous in Taman Negara National Park – At an estimated 130 million years old, Taman Negara is the oldest rainforest in the world and the largest in Malaysia. This place is packed with activities, such as canopy walks, 4×4 safaris, cave exploration, and trekking.
Ride a trishaw – This is a unique form of transportation, found all over Melaka. These simple bike taxis are amped to the max with wild decorations — and some even play techno music. The drivers are essentially in an unspoken contest, which makes for lots of colorful, creative taxis to look at.
Discover Kota Bharu – Also known as ‘The Islamic City’, this is a great city to check out some royal palaces, an array of museums, and some crazy back-alley markets. This is a great place to overnight, whether you plan to head into Thailand or back South.
Relax at Pulau Langkawi – When most people picture Malaysia, this is the island that comes to mind. Depicted in thousands of different magazines, websites, articles, and more, this island is a picturesque retreat with beautiful beaches and plenty of sunlight. There are plenty of great restaurants to choose from and interesting sights and villages to explore.
Visit Ipoh – This is one of the largest cities in Malaysia and is host to plenty of great restaurants and interesting sights to visit. There are several museums, and historical buildings, including the Birch Memorial Clock Tower and various temples.
Go whitewater rafting – Outside of diving, Malaysia is also known for its great whitewater rafting conditions. You can find all grades of rafting on the rivers here, and prices start around 190 MYR.
Understand Malaysia’s Colonial roots – Malaysia has undergone a diverse colonial history, falling into Portuguese, Dutch, and British hands before finally gaining independence. For a good understanding of this colonial influence, consider a visit to Malacca (or Melaka). The city center was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008, and the city is full of interesting museums, buildings, and temples to visit.
Transport Costs in Malaysia
One great thing about Kuala Lumpur is that you can save money by catching the free buses which follow a couple of different routes around the city – you just hop on and off whenever you like. You could take a few Malaysia buses to get around Borneo.
So after reading this, just do not imagine yourself there but rather go and explore Malaysia.
Life is too short to sit at our office desks, so go out, be wild, and explore.
Three cheers to TRAVEL !!!
