Explore Malaysia by car and push your adventurous spirit to its limits
Malaysia is a country of enchantment. It offers breathtaking scenery and pleasant surprises around every corner. Its sights, sounds, flavours and culture are all unique.
To enjoy it as it should be enjoyed, the best way to experience this beautiful country is by car. Taking a guided tour will show you a lot but to truly experience the many hidden gems on the road less travelled, you sometimes need to turn out from the tourist highways.
Luxury Meets Adventure
This is a place where the sophisticated tourist and the true adventurer can both feel at home. Malaysia has a network of roads second to none.
The country also offers many fine hotels and motels. Those who want luxury can have it.
In contrast, the caves, forests and mountains hold exciting challenges for the intrepid adventurer. Malaysia has a wild side just waiting to be discovered.
During the holiday season, navigating your way through the traffic can be testing at the best of times. In off-season, however, Malaysia is a paradise and driving is a true pleasure.
Country of a Thousand Flavours
Malaysia is a country of fantastic food. Set your taste buds tingling by going on a delightful taste tour. Experience nasi lemak and char kway teow as only the Malaysians can make them.
Every restaurant also adds a sprinkling of its own magic to its dishes; and the result is always delicious.
Camping holidays are becoming increasingly popular as well. Camper vans and caravans have yet to really make their way into Malaysian culture.
Nonetheless, the locals have found a way to compensate for that. You will find some makeshift camper vans equipped with a canopy for shade, portable chairs and cooler boxes near the barbecue pits at various sites.
The result of which is an outdoor experience with a touch of modern luxury.
Challenge of the Forests, Caves & Mountains
Rental cars and vans are available at reasonable prices. By searching a bit on Internet sites, you’ll find several camping groups that you can join.
Nothing beats the thrill of exploring a wild jungle and journeying into deep, mysterious caves. Once you have completed your forest adventure, you could visit a hot spring or relax while the gentle roar of a waterfall clears your mind.
Then turn your eyes to the wild challenging mountains in the distance. They are waiting to be conquered by you.
Malaysia is a friendly country. Make sure to smile and to mingle with as many people as you can while you are there. You’ll find that you’ll forge new friendships that can last a lifetime, and learn a lot about this fascinating land and its people.
