Flights from Malaysia from !

Malaysia is widely known as a “melting pot”, where Malays, Chinese, Indians and indigenous groups live harmoniously together. The national language is Malay, but English is widely spoken, making it very easy for travelers to find their way around and get to know the locals. There’s stunning natural beauty and diversity here, including gorgeous natural beaches and some of the world’s oldest tropical rainforests. Trekking, snorkelling and scuba diving are common recreational activities in Malaysia, and Malaysia’s national parks are ideal places for watching wildlife, cave exploration and river rafting. The more established resorts on the islands of Penang, Langkawi and Tioman also offer jet skiing and paragliding, while the bay at Cherating, the budget travellers’ frequent destination on the east coast, is a hot spot for windsurfers.
