Malaysia

Malaysia, a vibrant melting pot of cultures and natural wonders, beckons explorers with its diverse experiences. In Kuala Lumpur, the bustling capital, you can marvel at the iconic Petronas Twin Towers, explore colourful markets like Central Market, and indulge in delicious street food that reflects Malay, Chinese, and Indian influences. Beyond the city, the pristine beaches and lush rainforests of Malaysian Borneo offer opportunities for wildlife encounters, such as orangutans in their natural habitat. The historic city of Malacca showcases colonial architecture and a rich cultural heritage, while Penang delights with its UNESCO-listed George Town and mouthwatering street food scene.
