Leisure Activities

Kuala Lumpur

The capital of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, is well worth a visit with its spectacular towering skyscrapers and ultra modern shopping malls. The sky line is dominated by the magnificent twin towers of the 451m high Petronas Towers. Visitors are able to visit the observation deck or the sky bridge for a real bird’s eye view of the city. For more orthodox architecture, from the British colonial era, there’s Sultan Abdul Samad building or the Kuala Lumpur Railway Station.

Taman Negara

If you would like to try a jungle experience, Taman Negara is the place to go. This national park is home to tigers, macaque monkeys and an abundance of bird life. It’s a fantastic experience to trek through the 130 million year old rain forest with an experienced guide who will indicate all the points of interest. You can even try a night trek. Tour operators can provide a number of packages and they can even pick you up from your hotel in Kuala Lumpur.

Batu Caves

The Batu Caves are one of the most popular Hindu shrines outside India. Rising almost 100m, the temple complex comprises of three main caves. You must bear in mind that you need to be reasonably able bodied to be able to enjoy your visit. For example, the Cathedral cave (the biggest cave) is reached by climbing a steep set of 272 steps.

More About Malaysia

Visiting Malaysia gives you the opportunity to discover an incredibly diverse culture and contrasting landscapes. East Malaysia boasts untouched rainforests and towering mountains whereas the West of Malaysia brings you the delights of Kuala Lumpur along with fabulous national parks and lush landscapes. Kuala Lumpur is one of Asia's biggest cities; a shoppers paradise which also has plenty of museums and galleries plus the Lake Gardens if you fancy a change of scenery. No trip here would be complete without seeing the magnificent Petronas Towers. These skyscrapers make an awe-inspiring sight, especially when illuminated at night. Take a trip up to the Sky Tower and snap some photos to capture the amazing views and show to your friends and family. To chill out after your visit, why not enjoy a walk in the KLCC park - a beautiful and peaceful haven in this bustling and cosmopolitan city. We would highly recommend a visit to the famous Batu Caves. Wear good shoes and appropriate clothing to be well prepared to climb the 272 steps to the shrine of the Hindu deity Lord Subramaniam as it's worth it! Head away from the capital and for the Peninsular Malaysia where you can do jungle walks and river cruises and visit one of the top dive sites in Asia which is great for snorkelling too. Malaysian Borneo is a big hit with wildlife lovers who could be lucky enough to see an orangutan in its natural environment. There are a number of resorts on the island of Langkawi which is perfect for nature lovers seeking peace and quiet. A stay at Pangkor Laut, a privately owned island with beaches that you call your own whilst you are there, would make for a truly unforgettable vacation.
