Everything you need to know about Malaysia

Malaysia is a multicultural country where Malay, Chinese and Tamil cultures live side by side. Kuala Lumpur's Petronas Towers and Batu Caves, the duty-free island of Langkawi, Penang's street food and George Town heritage, Genting's highland resort and the rainforests of Borneo make it great value for families and honeymooners.

We plan trips to 7 destinations in Malaysia: Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi, Penang, Genting Highlands, Malacca and Kota Kinabalu (Borneo) and more. Highlights include Petronas Twin Towers, Langkawi SkyCab and Sky Bridge, George Town street art, Awana SkyWay and Christ Church and Dutch Square. Local food worth trying: Nasi lemak, Roti canai, Satay and Banana-leaf rice. Our Malaysia itineraries run from 3 to 10 days and every one can be changed to suit you.

When to go

December to April (west coast); March to October (east coast islands). The two coasts have opposite monsoons, so there is always a good side.

Travel tips

Malaysia travel tips

Visa and entry

Entry rules for Indian passport holders change, including visa-free, visa-on-arrival and e-visa schemes, so confirm the current rules on the official government or embassy website for Malaysia before booking flights. Most countries require a passport valid for at least six months beyond your return date. We check the current requirements when we prepare your quote; we cannot guarantee visa approval.

Health and safety

Buy travel insurance that covers medical treatment and evacuation; healthcare abroad can be expensive. Carry prescription medicines in their original packaging with a copy of the prescription. For current safety advice, check the travel advisories published by the Government of India and the embassy in Malaysia.

Currency and tipping

The currency is the Malaysian ringgit (MYR). Not customary; many restaurants add a service charge.

Best time to visit

December to April (west coast); March to October (east coast islands). The two coasts have opposite monsoons, so there is always a good side.

Getting around

Low-cost domestic flights link KL with Langkawi, Penang and Kota Kinabalu. The ETS train and highways connect the peninsula's cities.

Local etiquette

  • Ask before photographing people, and follow photography rules at religious sites and museums.
  • Dress modestly at mosques; robes are provided at the larger ones.

What to pack

Pack sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat and swimwear, a compact umbrella or rain jacket, comfortable walking shoes and a universal travel adapter.

Phone and internet

Indian mobile operators sell international roaming packs, or you can buy a local SIM or eSIM on arrival with your passport. Check that your phone is unlocked and supports eSIM before you travel.

Budget

We don't publish fixed prices because the season, hotel category, flights and group size change the cost. Your written quote lists exactly what is included, so you can compare like for like.
