Malaysia, is Asia’s food heaven and cultural melting pot. With home to pristine beaches, lush jungles, reefs and rainforests, fresh highlands, and skyscrapers, Malaysia truly lives up to its slogan ‘Truly Asia’.

Devote a day to sample Kuala Lumpur’s delicious street food and stalls selling tropical fruits and smoothies; Chinese noodles and Indian dosas to aromatic and spicy Malay curries and seafood. The country really is a crossroads for so many Asian cultures; Muslim Malays, religiously diverse Chinese, Hindu and Muslim Indians live here, along with the indigenous people of Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo. This only proves Malaysia is an ethnically and linguistically diverse jigsaw puzzle. UNESCO World Heritage listed, Melaka and George Town (Penang) have distinctive architectural and cultural townscapes. Spend the day with a traditional tribe or at a tea plantation, strawberry farm, waterfalls in the Cameron Highlands. Trek through the vast national parks of Gunung Mulu and Taman Negara and encounter incredible wildlife, like tigers and elephants. Or head to Borneo and look for wild orangutans, hike through the rainforest, and marvel at the knife-sharp peek of Mount Kinabalu. Then, there are tropical islands such as Langkawi, Tioman and the Perhentian Islands, synonymous with sparkling sands and scuba diving on pristine reefs.
