Our guides in Malaysia.

Kuala Lumpur

Malaysia · city

Kuala Lumpur

Come in the drier May-to-August window, sleep in Bukit Bintang or Chinatown, eat nasi lemak in the morning and banana leaf at lunch and Hokkien mee after dark, book the Petronas Skybridge for the icon and KL Tower for the view of the icon, give a morning to Batu Caves and an evening to Kampung Baru, and take the bus to Malacca if you have a day to spare.

Langkawi

Malaysia · island

Langkawi

Base at Pantai Cenang or on the north coast, ride the SkyCab to the Sky Bridge early, spend one morning deep in the Kilim mangroves with an operator that refuses eagle feeding, swim the lake at Dayang Bunting, and keep every evening for the west-facing sand. Add the seasonal ferry to Koh Lipe if the calendar cooperates.
