You can find 100 mammalian species, 326 species of birds and 600 species of ferns here. The trail here is easy and can be climbed by anyone with average physical fitness. However, it is good to trek here with a guide. Until 2004, the Petronas Twin Towers of Kaula Lampur were the tallest buildings. Now, they have been surpassed by the Taipei 101. However, the towers still happen to be the tallest twin building of the world. It is a huge 88 floor tower with a sky bridge between the two on the 41st and the 42nd floor. One of the top holiday destination of Malaysia is Langkawi. It is a beautiful archipelago of 99 islands in the Andaman Sea. At present the largest of the islands is the Pulau Langkawi that has an inhabitation of 65,000. Perhentian Islands are situated on the north eastern coast of Malaysia not very far from the border of Thailand. It is definitely a must visit place for all budget tourists. The island has some of the most dazzling beaches of the world and diving is a popular water sport here. You can also find some cheap accomodations here. Two key islands ere are the Perhentian Besar and the Perhentian Kecil. Both of these islands are beautified by the turquoise blue sea and the white sandy beach. Commenced in the year 1964, the Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre was initiated with an object of rescuing the baby orangutans from the illegal hunting, logging sites and plantations. These orangutans are trained in such a manner that they learn to survive in the wild. Basically, they come here young, are trained and then left back in the wild when they are ready.

There’s something about Malaysia that sets it apart from the rest of South East Asia. You don’t get that walking ATM feeling, there are little-attempted scams, fewer touts, and an overall feeling of being safe all round the clock. To me, Malaysia and the locals there seemed elated to see the tourists and were always up for help. In addition to that, English here is widely spoken given the fact that Malaysia once used to be a British colony. So, you’ll never have a hard time communicating with the locals here be it in restaurants, beaches, hotels, bus, food courts, and even otherwise. A lot of tourists who come to Malaysia to spend their holidays are lured to the abundant wildlife found here. You can plan a visit to Sepilok that will get you up and close with the wild beings. Some of the beings easily spotted here are monitor lizards, orangutans, proboscis monkeys, gibbons and several thousands of multi-hued critters. Traversing from the mountains to the jungles, beaches to the hills, one thing that will stay with you throughout is the colorful scenery. Malaysia is every bit a photographer’s and landscape junkies delight. Blue skies, crystal clear waters and lush green surroundings – Majestic! Malaysia is a land of abundant natural beauty. Exploring this Asia’s delight on foot gives you a chance to get up and close with nature. You have a plenty of trekking trails to best explore this tourist attraction. Some of the trails to follow are Taman Negara, Penang Hill, Mount Kinabalu and Cameron Highlands. That’s not all! There are several untrodden trails about which you can hear from your tour guides and locals. This is one reason you’ll fall in love with Malaysia. There are not too many countries that are as culturally rich as Malaysia. From Mosques to South Indian temples, modern Malaysia of today is basically a potpourri of 3 distinct cultures – One, inspired from Malaysia itself, second inspired from China and the third one inspired from India. Malaysia in every way is Truly Asia!! A multitude of festivals celebrated in Malaysia is a direct consequence of the cultural diversity seen here. Every month, there is some or the other festival being celebrated around the country, be it secular or religious or sports or culture based. Malaysia, of course, is not the cheapest country in South East Asia but it does offer a great value for money. In comparison to the western standards prevalent here, the prices are every bit reasonable. Accommodation, as well as the quality of transport, is phenomenal. You can even book resorts, hotels and stays at very reasonable prices. Not only Asians but people across the world love to hate Asia for its busy roads cramped with traffic, street markets and different cultures and traditions co-existing with each other. The capital of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur is certainly one of the best cities in South East Asia with enough options for sightseeing that will keep you busy for days. However, the real delight is Penang, which is a great destination to explore. It is a small island that is packed with delicious food and great Malaysia definitely has some of the most spectacular beaches in the world. It is a great place for honeymooners and everyone who loves blue waters and clear skies.Locals here are friendly
