TSI Holidays offers outbound tours to Malaysia, a country that truly provides a delicious mix of urban and rural, tropical and temperate, east and west cultures in South East Asia.
Malaysia can be toured in two parts - Peninsular Malaysia that borders Thailand, and East Malaysia that neighbors the Indonesia Island of Kalimantan. In case you wish to explore the fine sand beaches and marine life, hill stations in the colonial highlands, or the throbbing capital city of Kuala Lumpur, Peninsular Malaysia is the destination of your choice.
East Malaysia however is cheaper to reach and offers a variety and depth in wildlife and lodging facilities in and around Tunku Abdul Rahman and Bako National Parks. For complete jungle experience, lodge at the many log houses, go on safaris, and trek Mt. Kinabalu's staggering height.
Wherever and however you choose to explore Malaysia, the underlying cultural tones from India and China will never be too far.
Flights are the best way to travel to Malaysia. It is also comparatively cheaper to fly into East Malaysia than into Peninsular Malaysia. Peninsular Malaysia is well connected with buses, trains and taxis, while boats connect Peninsular Malaysia with East Malaysia.
