Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Arrived by airplane

Stayed 3 days

I visited Malaysia (Mainly Kuala Lumpur) with my family for a short holiday of 4 days. Although we didn't plan to do much and just have a good time, we ended doing quite a bit. Malaysia is a mix of everything: good food, vibrant culture, nice hiking and nature activities, historical landmarks, not too expensive as Singapore and not too crowded. Plus convenient public transportation options too.

Day 1 - Local Sites including Petronas Twin Towers

How can a visit to KL be complete without a visit to Petronas Towers? We went to see the twin towers which gives spectacular views of Kuala Lumpur. The tower is 88 stories high and it has an observation deck on level 86. We then visited the KLCC Park which has been designed to provide greenery to Petronas Twin Towers and the areas surrounding it. We then went to the National Mosque and then the Lake Gardens which are right in the centre of the city. Next was "The Independence Square", the most Instagrammed place of Malaysia. Lastly, to end the day we went to the Pavillion Shopping Mall because a visit to a local mall is must to see the local flavor of shopping & all that stuff :)

Day 2 - Genting Highlands & Batu Caves

We took an 8 hour paid tour for a day trip to Genting Highlands which included an enroute visit to Batu Caves. Batu Caves is one of the most popular attractions of Malaysia. After exploring the caves, we went to Genting Highlands, a peaceful & unique hill station. We enjoyed the cable car ride, the casino and the beautiful views of mother nature. We also did some shopping of natural strawberrys and other fruits available there. It was a memorable experience.

Day 3 - Just Leisure

We had planned for the Sunway Lagoon Theme Park or the aquarium but we dropped idea for both as we had seen similar stuff in Singapore. Instead we set out to explore the local cuisine and other local cultural stuff. We took the local transport and hopped from one place to another at our own pace. We saw the central market at Chinatown and ended the day with local cuisine at Jalan Alor which is sort of a hawker street. The wide range of food available is amazing with barbecued meats, noodles and what not and it is quite cheap.

Of course, there might be many places we did not visit but the intention of the short holiday was relaxation & a refreshing change. Malaysia did all what was expected. I hope to visit again !
