Our favourite places in MalaysiaConnected to the Asian mainland by the long, thin spit of southern Thailand and separated from its Bornean territory by the South China Sea, Peninsular Malaysia has a fairly low profile on the world travel stage. Try to picture it. What do you see? The rocket-like profile of the Petronas Towers, perhaps, but probably not much else. And there’s, so, so much more.Plan my trip Overview Itineraries Experiences Places to visit Best time to visit Accommodation Image Image All Ipoh Pangkor Malacca Langkawi Kuala Lumpur Kuala Kangsar Cameron Highlands Banding Island Penang Perhentian Islands Redang Island Taman Negara National Park Tioman Island India PellingPelling is all about the landscape: Tibetan and Limbu villages, sacred lakes, alpine forests and skyscraping mountains, all watched over by snowy Kanchenjunga. India Majuli islandThe river island of Majuli is a shrinking gem, home to bamboo stilt villages, Vaishnavite temples, sleepy farms and Mising tribal culture. India KolkataThere’s never a dull moment in Kolkata, a city known in India for its cultural and intellectual life, its enthusiastic sports fans, and its delicious desserts. India KazirangaThe unique, flood-prone landscape of Kaziranga national park is one of the last refuges for the endangered one-horned rhino. India KalimpongTibetan Buddhist monasteries, tea estates and Himalayan mountainscapes make Kalimpong a stunning setting in which to unwind for a couple of days. India JorhatA landscape ruled by the Brahmaputra River and shaped by British colonialism, Jorhat is one of only two places in the world where tea grows natively. India Gangtok (Sikkim)Modern, clean and cosmopolitan, Gangtok has a unique Himalayan cultural mix, and is totally unlike any other state capital in India. India DarjeelingLush tea plantations, colonial bungalows, and a vibrant, Tibetan-Nepali town centre — all against a dramatic backdrop of snowcapped peaks. India WayanadRippling tea plantations and pristine forest blanket the hills in Wayanad, one of the most remote and beautiful hill stations in south India. India Vagamon (Wagamon)Hike to Sufi tombs and hilltop churches, relax at colonial tea plantations, and soak up classic Keralan mountain scenery at the lush hill station of Vagamon. India TrichyTrichy is famous for two remarkable temples: one the largest functioning temple in the world, the other atop a hill looking over it. Load More Why book with InsideAsia?
