Malaysia is the contrast of modern cities with skyscrapers marking the skyline to sleepy tribal villages and sandy beaches. You can have both in Malaysia. The attractions Malaysia homes include modern cities with skyscrapers, vibrant nightlife, enchanting wildlife sanctuaries, scrumptious cuisine and unspoilt tribal villages.

Malaysia is a country in South East Asia. It is located partly on a peninsula in the Asian mainland and partly on the northern third of the island of Borneo. Malaysia is known as consisting of two countries – the more developed Peninsula and the island which is covered by impenetrable jungle. The terrain consists of coastal plains rising to hills and mountains. Peninsular Malaysia consists of plains which are divided into west coast and east coast by a mountain range known as Barisan Titiwangsa which runs from north to south. Of these west coast is more developed and urbanized and east coast has a rural feel.

Malaysia tour operator is bound to enlighten you about the megadiversity of the country. Malaysia homes a high number of species and shows high levels of endemism. Malaysia is estimated of having twenty percent of animal species of the world. There are about two hundred and twenty mammal species in Malaysia. About twenty eight National Parks are established to preserve and showcase this exotic wealth. High levels of endemism are found on the diverse forests of mountains in Borneo as species are isolated from one another by lowland forest. There are many bird species which are endemic to mountains of peninsular Malaysia. High number of endemic bird species is found in Malaysian Borneo also. Sulu Sea which borders East Malaysia is a bio-diversity hotspot with around six hundred coral species and one thousand and two hundred fish species.

Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia is a sure inclusion in Malaysia Travel Packages. It is situated about halfway along the west coast of peninsular Malaysia at the confluence of the Klang and Gombek rivers. Kuala Lumpur is the largest city of Malaysia populated by various ethnic groups – a cross section of Malaysia. The past is still present in the modern city in the form of colonial buildings and midnight lamps of night market of Petaling Street. It is home to Petronas towers, now the tallest twin towers of the world. It stands at a height of one thousand four hundred and fifty three feet. Central Market situated in the heart of Kuala Lumpur is the one stop shopping center for Malaysian handicrafts and arts and many other Malaysian specialties including wide variety of Malaysian cuisine. It is now classified as a heritage site which symbolizes the multi ethnic culture of Malaysia. Petaling Street is the center of original Chinatown of Kuala Lumpur. It maintains much of its traditional atmosphere especially in night when vendors put their merchandise on exhibit. You can shop for anything from gems and incense to toys and t-shirts. The night market is full of enjoyable sights, sounds and energy. You can have sumptuous variety of food from here.

Penang is known for its great food and exotic beaches. It is renowned as a Chinese and Indian stronghold who shares the city with Malay and Thai communities. It also has retained more colonial heritage than anywhere in the country. Penang Tour Packages are thus sure to be enthralling.
