Enchanting Malaysia - yours to discover
Hello K L
Asia sticks to you. From the nomadic steppes of Kazakhstan to the frenetic streets of Hanoi, Asia is a continent so full of intrigue, adventure, solace & spirituality that it has fixated and confounded travellers for centuries. Friendly & fun loving, exotic & tropical, cultured & historic.
Buzzing cities, culinary sensations, beautiful beaches, idyllic islands & national parks with wildlife-packed rainforests - all of this can be found in Malaysia. Come……experience Malaysia with us………
Ancient Civilisations |Vast Landscapes |Glimpse of the Future
Asia has contributed a cast of villains & heroes to global history. Most of the significant achievements of the modern world had their infancy in Asia. Historic trading routes sliced across epic terrain as expanding empires competed to trade goods & ideas throughout the continent & beyond. Asia’s ambitious civilisations ultimately gave rise to some of the world’s most revolutionary ideas & important technology. Ancient wonders & sacred spaces abound across the continent, from the Great Wall of China & the temples of Angkor to lesser-known marvels in Myanmar, Nepal & Afghanistan
From sublime coastlines to snow-capped mountains, from the majestic Mekong River to wildlife infested jungle, from rolling landscapes fed by the monsoon rains & frenetic cities fizzling with energy, the diversity of Asia’s landscapes is mind-boggling with a vibrancy that captivates & enchants. Immense expanses of desert flow down from inhospitable mountains, which in turn give way to seemingly impenetrable forests.
In a land where tigers still roam free (though far from noisy tourists), nature continues to be the driving force in many peoples’ lives. Virtually every climate on the globe is represented here; take a trek over the Gobi’s arching dunes or sunning yourself on the sand-fringed tropical islands of the South China Sea.
Is there any greater place to eat than Asia? The continent has exported its cuisines the world over: India’s red hot curries, China’s juicy dumplings, Vietnam’s steaming bowls of pho soup & Thailand’s heaping plates of pat tai (pad Thai) noodles are known & loved across the globe. Eating here can be both a joyous & chaotic affair: forks are forsaken in favour of fingers or chopsticks & food is enjoyed with unrivalled gusto. Whether settling down for a Michelin-starred meal in one of Singapore’s finest restaurants or pulling up a plastic stool on a Bangkok street, hungry travellers will never be bored by the diversity of Asia’s cuisines.
Gleaming skyscrapers, whooshing magnetic trains, shiny smartphones: in Asia, the future is now. China is charging its way into the 21st century with its economy developing at a head-spinning pace, while South Korea boasts some of the fastest internet speeds in the world & India is a hub of growing technology. A frenetic buzz surrounds urban Asia: the fashion, culture & business in the continent’s metropolises easily challenge the biggest European & American cities for their status as global hubs. This ever-evolving modernity can make for some incredibly special travel experiences: watch rice paddies flash by from a high-speed train, pick up a shiny new laptop in a Hong Kong electronics market or go to a robot cabaret show in Japan.
And now, on to Malaysia……….
Cultural Diversity | Ancient Rainforests | Urban Adventures | Wildlife
The catchy tourism slogan ‘Malaysia, Truly Asia’ continues to ring true as this country really is a potpourri of Asian cultures. Muslim Malays, religiously diverse Chinese & Hindu & Muslim Indians all muddle along with aboriginal groups (the Orang Asli) on Peninsular Malaysia & Borneo’s indigenous people, scores of tribes known collectively as Dayaks. Each ethnic group has its own language & cultural practices which you can best appreciate through a packed calendar of festivals & a delicious variety of cuisines.
Malaysia is a tremendous holiday destination, as it has something for everyone … a gentle coastline with lovely beaches, dense jungles, high forested mountains, world-renowned resorts & gentle, hospitable people. It is one of Southeast Asia’s top travel destinations, possessing an endless range of attractions & activities that cater for the cosmopolitan shopper, cultural enthusiast, historical buff & nature-lover. Divided into Peninsular Malaysia in the West & East Malaysia, part of the Borneo archipelago, the country will allure you with the shopping experience of its modern cities, the splendour of its cultural arts & natural heritage of rich flora & fauna
A charming history dating back to the 15th century, when Malacca was a vital world trading port, has turned Malaysia into a multicultural land of extreme contrasts. Traveling in Malaysia is a heart-warming experience due to its friendly people, while its first-world infrastructure assures a memorable & comfortable stay.
For many visitors, Malaysia is defined by its equatorial rainforest. Significant chunks of primary jungle - among the most ancient ecosystems on earth - remain intact, protected by national parks & conservation projects. Seemingly impenetrable foliage & muddy, snaking rivers conjure up the ‘heart of darkness’ - but join a ranger-led nature walk, for example, & you will be alerted to the mind-boggling biodiversity all around, from the pitcher plants, lianas & orchids of the humid lowlands, to the conifers & rhododendrons of high-altitude forests
Malaysia’s capital Kuala Lumpur (KL) is a place where Malay kampung (village) life stands cheek-by-jowl with the 21st century glitz of the Petronas Towers, & shoppers shuttle from traditional wet markets to air-conditioned mega malls. UNESO World Heritage listed, Melaka & George Town in Penang, have uniquely distinctive architectural & cultural townscapes, developed over a half a millennium of Southeast Asian cultural & trade exchange. Over in the Eastern Malaysian states, both Kuching & Kota Kinabalu offer fascinating introductions to contemporary & tribal life on Borneo.
You have a good chance to encounter wildlife in its natural habitat. The most common sightings will be a host of insects or colourful birdlife, but you could get lucky & spot a foraging tapir, a slivered leaf monkey, or an orangutan swinging through the jungle canopy. The oceans are just as bountiful: snorkel or dive among shoals of tropical fish, paint-box dipped corals, turtles, sharks & dolphins. Even if you don’t venture outside the urban centres, there are excellent opportunities for wildlife watching at places such as the KL Bird Park or Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre.
This Break offers you the top sights in the capital - Kuala Lumpur with its famous Petronas Towers. Major sights include the House of Parliament, Kuala Lumpur Tower, Putra World Trade Centre, Dataran Merdeka, Tugu Negara, Istana Negara, Istana Budaya, Masjid Negara mosque. Still, some impressive colonial-era buildings remain & the city’s most atmospheric & colourful quarters are Chinatown, Little India & Kampung Baru, the heartlands of KL’s Chinese, Indian & Malay communities.
To know Malaysia is to love Malaysia; this gastronomical paradise is home to million-year-old forests, state-of-the-art skyscrapers and hundreds of colourful festivals. The time is now, the place is Malaysia.
A unique experience is just the beginning. Spectacular & surreal. Locals have an infectious love of life & generosity of spirit in this vibrant inclusive community which has no problem melding tradition & modernity. Take the plunge now & yep….the enchanting Kuala Lampur is waiting. A warm welcome awaits you & The Journeys is ready to take you on well, a journey (or journeys) of discovery.
Come……be inspired & discover the World with us

Hello K L
Kuala Lampur
4 Days | 3 Nights
Day 1 - | Arrive ✈ Kuala Lumpur at ????
Welcome to Malaysia - with buzzing cities, culinary sensations, beautiful beaches, idyllic islands & national parks with wildlife-packed rainforests
Arrive in enchanting Kuala Lumpur.
After you exit in the Arrival Hall at Terminal? - Kuala Lumpur International Airport, subsequent to Immigration & Customs &, you will be welcomed by the Journeys Representative who will ensure your comfort & transfer you to the hotel. He / she will provide assistance during Check-in & also discuss the program for the next few days.
Check-in at the hotel & relax.
A skyline punctuated by minarets, Mogul-style domes & skyscrapers; colourful, food-stall lined streets shaded by a leafy canopy of banyan trees – this is Kuala Lumpur.
Multicultural Modernity | Historical Canvas | Street Feast | Shopping
Malaysia’s sultry capital is a feast for all the senses. Here you will find historic monuments, steel-clad skyscrapers, lush parks, mega-sized shopping malls, bustling street markets & lively night spots. Kuala Lumpur - KL, as it is locally known, is Malaysia’s hub; a huge, bustling, cosmopolitan city that is the business heart of the nation.
Essential parts of the vibrant mix are the incense-wreathed, colorfully adorned mosques & temples of the country’s Malay, Chinese & Indian communities. This ethnic diversity combined with European culture is part of the attraction, melting together on the tropical streets.
A reverence for these ancient cultures is balanced with a drive to be plugged into the modern world, a desire that's reflected in a creative contemporary art & design scene, an ambitious riverbank-regeneration project & dynamic architecture: the new Exchange 106 Tower is taller than the iconic 436m Petronas Twin Towers, amongst the tallest buildings in the world.
From the viewing level of the Towers the city unfolds with its old mosques & ramshackle buildings, contrasting with the gleaming skyscrapers that have sprouted as Malaysia has become one of the regional economic powerhouses.
Today's KL-ites are separated by barely a handful of generations from the tenacious Chinese & Malay tin prospectors who founded the city, carving it out of virgin jungle. By the time the British made it the capital of Peninsular Malaysia in the late 19th century, erecting grand colonial buildings, KL had only been in existence for a couple of decades. Since then, KL has been center stage on Malaysian history. Stadium Merdeka was where, in 1957, the country’s first prime-minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman, declared independence.
To fully connect with locals, join them in two of their favourite pastimes: shopping & eating. Malaysian consumer culture achieves its zenith in KL, where you could spend all day browsing glitzy air-conditioned malls such as Pavilion KL, Suria KLCC & Mid Valley Megamall in search of designer fashion & bargains. Bangsar & Publika are the places to go for local labels & the work of offbeat independent designers. Alternatively, explore Central Market for locally made souvenirs & handicrafts; and hunt out the few remaining artisans & antiques dealers still keeping shop in and around Chinatown.
Check-in at the hotel.
Balance of the day is at leisure or perhaps try one of the many options available (we will be happy to offer suggestions & make arrangements).

Despite the heat, this is a city best explored on foot. Walk & you can catch all the action and save yourself the frustration of becoming entangled in one of KL's all-too-frequent traffic jams. Walking, you will discover that parts of KL retain the laid-back ambience & jungle lushness of the kampung (village) it once was. What is more, you will be sure to come across some of the city's best dining spots: the hawker stalls & traditional neighbourhood kopitiam (coffee shops) that beckon you over with the aroma of freshly cooked food & the promise of refreshment with tropical juices & cooling drinks.
View the splendour of the King’s Palace & pass by the impressive Parliament House. Share the Malays’ glorious past at the National Museum.
Visit the National Monument at Lake Garden. Then pass by the National Mosque & the Railway station.
