Stepping foot on the “peninsula of gold,” it’s hard to contain the excitement for backpacking Malaysia. And for good reason! Whether it’s cosmopolitan cities spiraling into space or swaying rope bridges between mountaintops, Malaysia’s boundaries are thrown across several landmasses, and are packed with a little bit of everything.
The capital of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur is the most popular destination in Malaysia to visit. It’s large and in charge, yet ready to welcome you with a cheery “Dapatkan bersedia untuk masa yang liar!” From the sweeping Petronas Twin Towers to the hustle-and-bustle of the exotic Central Market, Kuala Lumpur is not easy to take in… and even harder to forget.The Kuala Lumpur Bird Park and the Elephant Orphanage Sanctuary have rave reviews; who wouldn’t want to get up close and personal with a Malaysian Blue Flycatcher or a chubby baby elephant? Locals (humans and the occasional boa constrictor) and tourists are drawn to all the culture and modernization of this capital.
Borneo is a unique island. It is considered part of three different nations: Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei. The rainforest, that encapsulates 75% of the island, is one of the oldest in the world and is home to the Borneo elephant, the cloud leopard, and the ever-famous Borneo orangutan. Let the time you spend in Borneo open your eyes and heart to the beauty of Mother Nature and all her inhabitants.
On the western edge, Malacca is quaint, quintessential, and quirky. The city is a UNESCO World Heritage site — the perfect bygone addition to your Malaysia visit — and allows you to step into a history book. Jonker Street is not to be missed, with its sizzling street food and stalls that offer some of the most unique souvenirs you’ll find south of the equator! At 260 feet, the Malacca Menara Taming Sari is a panoramic monument, offering a 360-degree view of the city.
Boredom is not an option with countless jungles to explore, animals (some only native to Malaysia) to discover, colorful buildings to amaze, and street food to satisfy those whose “eyes are bigger than their stomachs”.
