Malaysia eVisa: “Truly Asia”, the marketing slogan fits well for south-east Asian country Malaysia. Move beyond known “Petronas twin tower” and discover less known but exotic locations and reasons to visit the beautiful country in the below blog post.

TOP REASONS TO VISIT MALAYSIA

Escape to Malaysia for the vibrant culture, heritage, magnificent landscapes, and also exotic beaches. Indeed, Malaysia as a country has so much to offer to its visitors, giving you enough reasons to come, enjoy and relax for a memorable holiday, either as a solo backpacker or with family.

#1: BREATHTAKING LANDSCAPE & ISLANDS

Malaysia landscape

The very first thing about Malaysia that inspired me during my time here was its spectacular landscapes & excellent beaches which I had seen during my visit to this beautiful county. Malaysia has nothing matching the Times Square in New York, but the country is truly a hidden gem that only those visiting the country themselves will be able to tell.

If you have ever put your feet on this land, you will witness thousands of landscapes located along with the country, from the magnificent island Pulau Pangkor which means“beautiful island” to the exotic and serene beaches which are one of the greatest tourist attraction these days.

BEAUTIFUL LANGKAWI

Langkawi is an archipelago made up of 99 beautiful islands on the west coast of Malaysia. Surrounded by the greenish-blue sea, the interior of the main island is a mixture of picturesque paddy fields and jungle-clad hills. The nature-loving tourist will find the island just as breathtaking as the shoreline marked by white sand and an array of coconut trees.

#2: FOOD LOVER’S PARADISE

Nearly every Malaysian meal is served with rice. Since rice is also a staple food of many other Asian countries including India therefore, if you are an Indian visiting Malaysia, you and your family won’t have to worry much about the food. “Nasi lemak”, Malaysia’s national dish is the most popular dish ubiquitous in the Malay town and villages.

It is prepared with rice cooked in creamy coconut milk with lots of other ingredients and is a must-have dish when you are in this country. The food is usually cheaper in Malaysia. However, if you are staying and eating in urban cities like Kuala Lumpur, prepare to shell out more for your meals.

#3: MODERN ARCHITECTURE & CITIES

If you are reading this blog post and planning a trip to Malaysia, you would surely want to visit the famous twin tower popularly known as the Petronas Twin Towers. The towers are in the heart of the capital city of Kuala Lumpur and are one of the main tourist attractions. If you are a city tourist I am sure you are going to love Malaysia and particularly Kuala Lumpur.

In Kuala Lumpur, you get to see the best of modern Malaysia. However, the city did manage to keep the old rustic charm intact even after being struck with modernity. Therefore for a city dweller, I would strongly recommend you to spend a few days in the capital city of Malaysia.

#4: STILL LIGHT ON POCKETS

The most talked-about matter for any traveller would be “is Malaysia expensive for travel?”. The shortest answer is “No.” However, the cost factor also depends on what type of holidays you are looking out for. A holiday trip to Malaysia is generally not expensive; most of the cost derived from the return-flight plus accommodation. Good hotels are relatively cheap here.

I recommend you to book your return ticket to Malaysia from India at least two months in advance. As you approach your travel dates, the flight cost might become higher. Remember, the flight cost contributes 40 to 50 % of your travel budget.

#5: CULTURE & RELIGIOUS DIVERSITY

Malaysia is a country that celebrates its vast diversity with all its zest. It is a multicultural country with Islam as its official religion. Approximately 62 percent of the population comprises of Islam religion so needless to see you will witness Islam’s practice in most parts of the country.

However, language is not a problem in Malaysia as the majority of the population speaks and understands English.  If you love late night cafe hopping, Malayasia is surely gonna surprise you with the range of options they offer which are open even at the oddest hours of the night.
