Reasons To Visit Malaysia
Malaysia`s picture perfect white sand beaches and year round travel season means they are the envy of their Southeast Asian neighbours! From the private island of Pangkor Laut, long quiet beaches around Kuala Terengganu, popular white sand beaches on Langkawi and hidden gems on small islands off the East coast.
UNESCO sites Malacca and George Town were once cities which rose from humble fishing villages to become major centres of the spice trade. Four centuries of European influence have left behind rich cultural icons including Dutch churches, remnants of ruined Portuguese and British fortresses and imposing town halls.
Enjoy the peace and solitude around the Cameron Highlands, following jungle trails to streams, lakes and waterfalls, or take time to visit one of the nearby tea plantations.
Explore Taman Negara National Park on foot, by boat and even 25 metres up in the jungle on a canopy walkway. Climb Teresik Hill, swim in the water holes around the rapids of Lata Berkoh or just walk amongst the flora of the oldest rainforest in the world.
A foodies delight! Malaysia is a true melting pot of cultures and the Indian, Chinese and Malay influence is strongly evident in the food. Places like Penang, Malacca and Kuala Lumpur have hawkers stalls and local restaurants on every corner. Eating really is a national hobby here so get involved!

The Cameron Highlands is a wonderfully unspoiled region of lofty mountains, tea plantations, forests and waterfalls. It’s great for walkers and it's possible to visit remote villages of the Orang Asli people.
This fascinating tour covers all the highlights of the highlands. Begin by cruising through the green carpets of Boh Tea Estate - the pioneer of the tea growers in Malaysia.
The Rafflesia is one of the most magnificent flowers ever known to the botanical world. In size it excels by spanning 97cm in diameter, the largest ever recorded from a flower of the species Rafflesia arnoldii, founded by Sir Stamford Raffles and Dr. Arnold during a plant collecting expedition to Sumatra in 1818.
