Malaysia Group Tours for Solo Travellers
Why travel solo to malaysia?
Malaysia in one word? Diverse. In cultures, landscapes and experiences. Perfect then, for that all-encompassing trip.
Travel in Malaysia and you’ll feel the rich influence of Malays, Indians and Chinese whilst experiencing both the tropical and urban. The sprawling city of Kuala Lumpur will delight with its shiny towers and vibrant food markets, whilst the more humble Penang will charm with its Unesco heritage and culinary prowess.
Malaysia also happens to be your easy-access point to Borneo, where vast green rainforests and orangutan inhabitants will transport you to a Jurassic age. Stay in a tribal longhouse, hike through the world’s biggest caves and cruise the Kinabatangan River in search of wild adventure.
Finally, there are the beaches, the archipelago of Langkawi being a particular highlight. White sand, blue Andaman waters and palm-fringed shores, anyone?
