A city of many faces
Contemporary architecture, markets and historic neighborhoods give several readings of the capital. Save time for walking discovery and pauses in a urban day.

Travel to Malaysia.
Cultures to share.
Kuala Lumpur, the streets of Penang and tropical landscapes. A trip to compose between city, forest and coast.
At every wish, his journey
The peninsula, Borneo or a combined journey?
Malaysia allows you to vary the atmospheres without trying to see everything. The Peninsula and Borneo are two major sets to distinguish from the beginning. The choice depends on the place you want to give to culture, nature and beaches.
These ideas help you to choose a direction. Caroline then studies with you the steps, links and possible benefits for your dates.
Places, atmospheres and desiresThe Kuala Lumpur George Town and Penang Borneo and the Islands
What you come to find.
Flavours and façades
Old streets, cult places and local cuisine make the interest of the stay. A base on the island allows you to take time from the neighborhoods instead of chaining the visits.
A different relationship with nature
A forest stage in Sabah or Sarawak and an island stay do not meet the same expectations. Access, route and accommodation conditions are crucial.
Drawing the right steps
Plan connections between your wishes
Connecting the Peninsula and Borneo requires an air organization. For a short project, one large area leaves more space for discovery and limits the days absorbed by transfers.
An itinerary idea to personalise
A first journey can associate Kuala Lumpur, Penang and a relaxing stage. A project toward the forests of Borneo is rather built around a few bases, with excursions and their precise access.

The guide to make your choices
Prepare your discovery.
Which period should you choose?
The coast and the forest stages change the reading of the season. The choice of an island must be done with dates and links, keeping a margin in the program.
What will influence your budget
Transportation to destination, the category and location of the nights, travel on the site and accompanied visits are compared together. Give Caroline a cover and your priorities: the project can be adjusted by playing on the steps, comfort or duration, before you stop the services.
Before booking
The formalities and conditions of access are checked for your nationality, your situation and the scheduled dates. Updated practical information is to be consulted with the competent authorities; the report describes the services effectively offered.
Before you launch
Your questions about Malaysia.
Is the fauna guaranteed in Borneo?
not to. Animals evolve in their environment. A exit must be chosen for the quality of the direction and respect for the places, without promising any observation.
How can I plan my trip to Malaysia with Odyssée Voyages?
Contact Caroline by phone or by email with your dates, duration, number of travellers and priorities. A first study allows to clarify the possibilities, before any detailed proposal.
Are these ideas matching an already scheduled accompanying start?
not to. This page is an inspiration for a personalized project. The accompanied departies actually published are presented in the accompanied travel section, with their own information.
Take discovery further
The peninsula and Borneo: two possible journeys, one choice to make
Kuala Lumpur, George Town in Penang and Melaka offer several lectures from Malaysia. Contrasts appear in neighborhoods, places of worship, markets and tables. Traveling them with time allows you to understand these stories and their links, beyond a series of famous visits.
The peninsula of Sabah and Sarawak in Borneo. These territories are not a small extension comparable to a beach stage: connections and discovery require their own duration. A deep set or two complementary environments can give a more pleasant path than a too dispersed selection.
Two directions to shape your journey
What thread will connect your itinerary?
Ideas for discovery to personalise according to your dates, pace and local possibilities.
Cities of the peninsula and a final stop by the water
A first plot can connect Kuala Lumpur to Melaka or Penang according to the cultural thread you are looking for. George Town invites to the streets, houses and flavours; Melaka brings another reading of port history. The selection is made with the days that are really available and the time you want to spend on the neighborhoods.
A coast or island can then offer a break. Langkawi and the Eastern Islands have not the same access or the same seasonal calendar. Bathing, evening atmosphere and possible outputs are distinct criteria. The accommodation must be suitable for the times when you want to stay on the site as well as for the days of discovery.
Borneo: giving time to natural environments
A stay in Sabah or Sarawak can follow forests, river landscapes and regional cultures. Kuching and its surroundings constitute a different entrance than a route to Sabah. The choice is built according to discoveries, travel and welcome, without considering Borneo as a uniform set or adding the most well-known sectors without discernment.
Walk, water outlets and night comfort must be specified. The observation of orange-outans or other species is not guaranteed; it is necessary to distinguish the natural environment and visit from a conservation structure. Opportunities and distances are prepared for each proposal, with a respectful discovery of animals and inhabitants.
Give cities their place
Heritage and cuisine can provide a very rich wire. A few well-located nights allow you to deepen a city rather than chain the visits between two flights.
Choose your type of nature
Park, river discovery and hiking are not interchangeable. The desired effort and comfort must guide the selection of activities, bases and means of travel.
Keep nights for the end
A holiday break loses its interest if arrival and departure occupy almost all the time. The schedules must be integrated before choosing the islands.
Give the journey the right pace
A dozen days to two weeks can offer a consistent discovery of the Peninsula or Borneo. Connecting the two requires a more tight selection or more time. The seasonal conditions look for the region and coasts actually retained.
Extend without spreading too thin
A urban staircase can complement nature, while a heritage journey can end with a few days set. Malaysia already offers these contrasts without changing country. An external combination must bring true complementarity and sufficient nights.
