Malay Mania: Are you ready

The tropical paradise of Malaysia has many interesting destinations for tourists to explore and enjoy.

Pulau Langkawi: One of the best-known holiday destinations not only in Malaysia, but the entire world, Langkawi is among the very few places that is the perfect setting for a romantic getaway any time of the year. Located in the Andaman sea 30km from the coast of Kuala Perlis, it comprises of 99 islands that can be visited via boat from Georgetown,Kuala Kedah, Kuala Perlis and Satun, Thailand, or by air from Georgetown in Penang, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. However, only the main island, Pulau Langkawi, has substantial settlement. Having a picturesque backdrop of snady beaches, paddy fields, and hills comprising of exotic jungles, one can easily see why Pulau Langkawi is the most visited (and promoted) destination in Malaysia. Ever since it became a duty free destination in 1986, the intake of tourists can almost doubled. The island also hosts events like the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace (LIMA) exhibition, the Langkawi Arts and Crafts Festival (LACRAF), the Langkawi International Water Festival, and the biennial Langkawi International Festival of Arts (LIFA).

Pulau Penang: In the early days when governments, companies and armies did not have clear-cut distinction among themselves, the East India Company travelled to the Penang harbour and established its rule on the island as its first settlement on the Malay peninsula, in order to tackle the Dutch Melaka’s monopoly of spice trade. However, this eventually resulted in the evolution of a very popular and extremely busy port. Earlier known as the 'Betal Nut island', Pulau Penang saw a sudden outburst of entrepreneurs from all lands (China, in particular) and ethnicities wanting to invest here, resulting in the maximum exposure this island has witnessed in centuries. However, similar to many settlements of the company, the island once again became a forgotten paradise after the British empire saw its last days. Fortunately, the days of glory provided enough ammo to Pulau Penang to continue on the path to being one of the most sought-after tourist destinations in South East Asia. Known as the Silicon Valley of Malaysia, the techie side of Pulao Penang is most of the times invisible to tourists, but exists in a rather prominent manner nevertheless. The capital Georgetown's intense heat kept aside, there are some splendid beach resorts like the Batu Ferringhi, that can be looked at for providing great accommodation. There is also a Malay fishing village of Teluk Bahang, which is worth a visit.

Kota Bharu: Situated at the north-eastern corner of the Malaysian peninsula, Kota Bharu, also known as the 'Islamic City', is the last stop at the east coast road, as well as a gateway to Thailand. One might think of this destination as nothing more than another bustling Malaysian city full of cities overcrowded with traffic. However, there is a rich cultural side to Kota Bharu as well, with exquisite museums and royal palaces.
