Travelling in Malaysia

Travelling in Malaysia during Ramadan

Malaysia is a predominantly Muslim country and this means that Ramadan (the Islamic month of fasting) is largely practiced. Although this shouldn't really affect your trip, it is important to bear some things in mind. If you happen to be travelling in Malaysia during Ramadan, it's worth knowing that during the fasting hours (sunrise-sunset), some restaurants and street stalls might not be open. Of course when travelling in Malaysia anytime, it is important to respect local customs and conventions. However, like a special courtesy during Ramadan, it's appreciated when travellers are discreet about consuming meals during the fasting hours. It's also worth noting that as Ramadan draws to a close, it may be a little busier in certain parts of the country.

Another thing worth knowing before beginning travelling in Malaysia is that because of faith, many Muslims refrain from alcohol. Thus, it is crucial that whilst travelling in Malaysia, you attempt to respect the local customs by refraining from alcohol consumption in public places. You might even discover that certain areas don't serve alcohol at all. However, most hotels and tourist-savvy restaurants do serve alcohol, therefore it usually isn't a problem to possess a couple drinks!

Beaches

When travelling in Malaysia, you're sure to find some of the most beautiful beaches and islands in SE Asia. Whether you need to travel to Malaysia because of its food, culture of wildlife, no trip could be complete with no little Malaysian beachtime added too at the end. One popular beach location for many travellers is the slightly larger island of Pulau Langkawi which depends on the west coast and it is not hard to see why... rustling palms, powder white beaches and azure shores (ideal for snorkelling)- also would you request? If you're a water baby and diving is the thing, you might want to think about incorporating a trip to Borneo into your Malaysia travels. With a fascinating underwater world of vibrant corals and marine life, Sipadan reef is indeed a haven for diving enthusiasts.

Food

I must say that Malaysia cuisine is some of the greatest in Asia due to the fact it is so varied. It offers a melting pot of Chinese, Thai and Indian delights, as well as its very own local dishes. The Nyonya cuisine is usually Malaysian and it has a distinctive combination of Chinese and Malaysian with sweet, sour, hot flavours.

Desire a little tip? If you're travelling in Malaysia for that food, you definitely need to pay a visit to Penang; largely thought to be the country's culinary capital!

Jungles

If you're a nature fanatic like myself, travelling in Malaysia is right your street. On peninsular Malaysia, you'll find Taman Negara and Rompin National Park where one can attempt an adventurous jungle trek to discover the hidden depths of the rainforest. You could also head just a little further north should you desired to discover the rolling tea plantations from the Cameron Highlands.

If wildlife is more your bag, then you can really obtain a taste of the jungle should you head to Borneo; home to Bako and Gunung Mulu National Park. Have a jungle boat cruise underneath the green canopies and spot proboscis monkeys, discover the fluttering bats of Mulu in the middle of the rainforest or go to the Orangutans in the Sepilok centre.

Rainforest monkey business in Borneo. Laze around on Langkawi and have a mangrove jungle trek. Island hopping across the tropical east coast. We'll help you build your very own Malaysia holiday.
