Uncover Malaysia's wild, untouched beauty on an incredibly unique and adventurous Malaysia Touring & Adventure holiday.
Malaysia Touring & Adventure
Malaysia is a country with two distinct parts. Peninsula Malaysia is a long fringe of land extending from Asia and bordering Thailand and Singapore. The South China Sea separates the mainland from the less populated East Malaysian provinces of Sabah and Sarawak. The dense jungles of Sabah and Sarawak support abundant plants and wildlife, and Mt Kinabalu in Sabah is the highest peak in Southeast Asia.
The peninsula attracts the most visitors, probably because of its diversity in terms of people, activities, and climate. The highland regions offer incredible relief from the clinging humidity of the mainland, while Langkawi is the popular choice for sand and surf enthusiasts. The east coast, mainly the northern Kelantan province, offers a fascinating cultural exploration of traditional Malay life. The city of Kota Bharu and its surroundings are possibly the most intriguing part of the peninsula and the least visited, with a remote beauty and rich culture.
The west coast is favoured for historical interest and is where Malaysia's capital city, Kuala Lumpur, can be found; it is the icon of Asian prosperity and the meeting point for expats and city slickers who enjoy the energy of urban life. The city is a robust mesh of tradition and technology, vying for equal status.
