Since I landed in Kaula Lumpur, it obviously became my first destination and yeah it is a wonder-town, you may not like it miss it and other attractions of Malaysia for the following reasons.

1.    Kaula Lumpur: Places such as the Petronas Towers, the Perdana Lake Gardens, and Menara KL Tower make the capital city a wonderful tourist destination apart for the culinary delights it has to offer on account of the mixed Malay, Chinese and Indian inhabitants here. It is also a wonderful shopping destination and the currency used is Malaysian Ringgit which is about seventeen Indian Rupees so if your aren’t a spendthrift like me, you better do some cost benefit analysis before indulging. I went for a crazy bargain in Petaling Street and it made me nostalgic of my shopping sprees in my own motherland.

Earnestly, the city offered great delights to a traveler and has several other marvels that will absolutely make you fall in love with it.

UNESCO declared Malacca has a world heritage site in 2008 for its historical and cultural significance. Based on how much you love ancient history you may prolong or limit your stay here... It indeed is one of it’s kind in Asia.

It is an admirable archipelago of 99 islands in the Andaman Sea some 30 km off the mainland coast of north-west Malaysia and something which would make you fall in love with Malaysia. I loved its variety of adorable beaches ideal for snorkeling and scuba diving. This place possesses a duty free status and one can enjoy any indulge here to his or her heart’s content.

I loved its breeze, it’s lush green tea plantations that soothed one’s eyes like nothing else in this universe, Strawberry farms where I plucked some yummiest strawberries, the so adorable butterfly gardens, and flower greenhouses which filled my heart with so much ecstatic pleasure. I was so smitten by its charm that I had to book a hotel in Cameron Highlands and extend my day trip for a night stay at this heavenly place.

Yes, Genting is Malaysia’s most exotic hill station, this Kuala Lumpur mountain peak getaway is Malaysia’s Asian-style Las Vegas. We loved it for its casino, nightlife and luxury hotels.
