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 TanjoreTanjore is one of our favourite towns in Tamil Nadu, and home to one of the best examples of Chola temple architecture still standing. India PondicherryTamil Nadu’s French-colonial enclave is chocolate-box pretty, with a unique spirituality and charming seaside atmosphere. India NeeleshwarTucked away in the north, Neeleshwar is a proper tropical paradise, with some of the best beaches and backwaters in Kerala. India MuvattupuzhaExperience life in the Keralan countryside, surrounded by lazy waterways and fields of pineapple, banana, coconut and black pepper. India MunnarEnjoy old-world luxury in a plantation bungalow, surrounded by the emerald-green tea fields and mist-cloaked mountains of Munnar. India MarariArguably the best beach destination in Kerala, with golden sands, glittering seas, and plenty of laid-back south Indian charm. India MahabalipuramWorld Heritage temples combine with sand, surf and backpacker vibes to make Mahabalipuram a beach break with a difference. India Madurai‘The Soul of Tamil Nadu’, ‘The Athens of the East’, ‘The city that never sleeps’ – Madurai is one of the oldest cities in India, and it has collected its fair share of epithets over the years. India KumbakonamPaddy fields, betel farms and coconut groves provide a picture-perfect backdrop for experiencing village life in rural south India. India KochiIndia’s coolest and most progressive state capital, Kochi feels like a European city transplanted to the palm-fringed Keralan coast. India Kannur & TellicherryThis charming, low-key corner of Kerala wouldn’t get much press if it weren’t for Theyyam: a Hindu festival unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. India ChettinadA land of ghostly, abandoned mansions, like the ruins of a fairytale kingdom, Chettinad is one of the most spectacularly unexpected destinations in India.
