Our favourite routes in Malaysia to inspire your trip

Such freedom means the itinerary options are endless. If you want to be city one day, in the rainforest the next, and on the beach the day after that – you can (though we wouldn’t advise it). If you want to ditch the city stuff altogether and spend your time in homestays, jungle camps and indigenous villages instead, you can do that too.
