Valhalla for nature lovers
Over the centuries, Indians, Chinese, Japanese, Dutch, Portuguese and British set foot on land as explorers, traders, occupiers or administrators. The Malaysian Peninsula has been returned to its original inhabitants, what has remained is the legacy of different colors and aromas. In historic and colonial cities, this melting pot of cultures is striking, but it is the Malay language and traditions that forge unity.
The vast majority of Malaysia's population lives on the Malaysian Peninsula, and much of the land is cultivated. In between, plenty of rainforest, with some exceptionally untouched areas. The smells and sounds of the forests, exciting journeys in the dense vegetation… What a contrast to the sometimes wonderfully chaotic bustle in the cities! It is precisely this versatility that makes this part of Malaysia so fascinating.
Malaysian Borneo
From the air, the vast rainforests of Sarawak and Sabah don't reveal their secrets, but beneath the green blanket of treetops hide special treasures. The orangutan is the icon of Malaysian Borneo, and behind this good-natured great ape follows a long parade of forest dwellers. Embark on an adventurous exploration of rivers and mountains, through dense jungle and mangrove forests, and be entranced by the exuberant, exceptionally diverse flora and fauna. This is a mecca for nature lovers.
Tropical Islands
The sheltered lagoons and deserted beaches of Malaysia's many islands and archipelagos are among the most beautiful in the world. The landscape is also beautiful under water. Divers can look forward to colorful prime locations.
