Malaysia

Peninsular Malaysia

A dynamic blend of cultures, landscapes, and flavors, where modern cities, heritage towns, tropical rainforests, and golden beaches meet in one unforgettable destination.

The South China Sea divides Malaysia into two different experiences. On the one hand you have the Peninsula with of course the capital city of Kuala Lumpur. On the other hand you have the rugged untangled jungle of Borneo where the awesome 'wild' orangutans can still be discovered in their own habitat.

Visiting KL (as it is often referred to by cosmopolites) means visiting the mighty Petronas Towers, a fitting symbol of the city's development. In the same area are the Golden Triangle and the KLCC (Kuala Lumpur City Centre) for fine dining and the best malls in town. This modern government city also offers travelers some green landscapes in the beautiful Lake Gardens, which houses the Islamic Museum and a colorful bird and orchid park.

The Seasons in Malaysia

Malaysia sees almost no seasonal change in climate — the coolest stretch is November to January, when temperatures drop to around 26°C (79°F). The climate does differ by region: equatorial, hot and humid in the south around Malacca, and subequatorial monsoon in the north.

Late February to October

Dry Season

The driest, most settled stretch across the Peninsula — and the window when the east coast islands like Perhentian, Redang, and Tioman are at their best.

November to Late February

Wet Season

The northeast monsoon brings heavier rainfall, choppy seas, and wind to the east coast. Kuala Lumpur and the west coast stay comfortable throughout.

Kuala Lumpur can be visited throughout the year. As a tropical country, short afternoon showers should be expected daily, and mornings stay comfortable for sightseeing, shopping, and outdoor activities. While Kuala Lumpur and most of Peninsular Malaysia work year-round, it's best to avoid the East Coast during the peak monsoon from November to February, when heavier rainfall, choppy seas, and wind can affect travel plans and outdoor experiences.
