A Trip from Delhi to Malaysia: What When and How?

Malaysia Truly Asia!

We’ve been to Malaysia twice, Yes twice! Because we love this country’s vibe, culture, affordability and there is a lot to do in here for everyone. We’ll probably go to Malaysia again super soon. Watch out 🤭

Langkawi Island, Malaysia

So Underrated and Ignored

To our surprise, this is so ignored destination in Indians. One of the major reason could be that there is no proper and collected details available on Malaysia over one place. So as usual it become tough to plan such a wonderful destination even when it could have given you an international stamp already.

Another reason we believe is that Malaysia has never been glamourised much on social media yet.

Why We Chose Malaysia?

When we were searching for our next international destination, we landed on Malaysia on the Google Maps.

We chose Malaysia for the following reasons:

1. Flights are very affordable
2. Easy VISA process
3. Stays are so beautiful, spacious and reasonably priced
4. Currency conversion is not high. 1 Malaysian Rinngit = ~INR 20
5. Lot of sightseeing and greenery everywhere, from high rise towers to lakes, from off beat destinations to food and shopping and what not
6. Have its duty free Island, Langkawi where you can spend time on clean beaches and try your luck at the casino [We doubled on our bet 😉]

I think these are enough and strong reasons for anyone to travel to Malaysia.

Verdict: Must have a look for a plan to Malaysia
