Malaysia is a stunningly complex vacation destination, a land where ethical rainforests give way to multicultural city life. Capital city Kuala Lumpur is visually portrayed by the iconic Petronas Twin Towers, while in charming Melaka the vibe is quainter and more historical. Kuala Lumpur happens to be the port of entry for most of the travellers. This is a city with a vibrant night life and lot of different experiences to savour. The mix of Malay, Chinese, and Indian influence means the city is culturally diverse and there is no dearth of cuisines to sample.
While KL is new age city, Penang still retails the old-world look. The colonial city of Georgetown was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has plenty to offer in the way of museums, a seaside fort, historic homes.
Malacca or Melaka is a UNESCO World Heritage site, where even not doing anything and just walking by the river is a great experience. It is very close to Kuala Lumpur and there are regular bus services between the two cities Langkawi is a beach town which becomes a great option for both relaxed and for an action-packed vacation with water sports.
Borneo is a giant rugged island in South East Asia, shared by believe it or not, 3 countries – Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei! It is a land of pristine beaches and an ancient rainforest famous for its biodiversity.
The Borneo rainforest is one of the oldest in the world – 140 million years old – with about thousands of species of flowering plants, tree, mammals and birds. Of course, it is one of the few remaining natural habitats for the endangered Bornean orangutan and an important refuge for many endemic forest species, including the Borneo elephant, the eastern Sumatran rhinoceros, the Bornean clouded leopard, the Hose’s palm civet and the Dayak fruit bat.
This is a land of jaw-dropping natural beauty, mountains, beaches, rainforests and wildlife (some of which are only found here). Not to forget, a rare and unique culture and a bloody history that dates back in time to the 4th century and possibly earlier… It is a land of stories and legend… And best of all, it is a land very seldom-visited, waiting for you to explore… The Orangutans are waiting for you… So are the shy pygmy elephants… And the most surprising part is that this hidden gem is very accessible – barely an hour or so by flight from the aviation hub of Kuala Lumpur. That means you can combine this with a short city-capsule in Kuala Lumpur or a colonial experience in Malacca or even a beach escapade in Langkawi.
This is as Beyonder as it gets… Come with us… Come and walk the wild side…
