Hello
* Pulau Langkawi. If long white sandy beaches fringed with coconut palms and the romantic image of carefree bygone days attract you then this is the place to go. As Malaysia’s most popular tourist resort you are sure to find something to enjoy here any time of the year. From international conferences, arts festivals and cultural exposes, Pulau Langkawi will have you longing to return when you plan your next overseas trip.
* St Pauls Hill. The Portuguese inhabited this region from the early 16th century for nearly 150 years. They built a fortress on this hill where they housed their soldiers and stored their food and although only the facade remains today, you’ll be able to imagine the drama of this early historical period as you stand among the stately trees and enjoy the quietude.
* Mulu National Park. Here you will find one of the longest network of caves in the world with a huge central underground chamber which is reputedly big enough to accommodate 40 jumbo jets! Also, in the Deer Cave, is home to a huge population of bats which you can see every evening as they arrive at around 6 PM. Don’t worry about being crowded in with other tourists, this cave is big enough to house Cathedral is the size of London’s St Pauls five times over! Also make a point to visit the Clearwater Cave where you will see beautiful tropical limestone carved out by the constant dripping and movement of water.
* Sipidan Island. This island was made famous by the French oceanographer Jacques Cousteau who treated this island as a piece of artwork. Although relatively small, it provides tourists with an unprecedented opportunity to explore on foot one of the world’s most beautiful natural attractions.




Thanks

Other great islands in Malaysia including Pangkor Island on the western coast of Peninsular Malaysia and Redang Island on the east coast. Pangkor has the advantage of not being affected by the north-eastern monsoon, generally occuring between November and March each year in Malaysia. There are also a lot of fishing settlements in the island where you can watch the fishermen bringing back their catch which includes cuttlefish and anchovies.

Redang Island is well known for its marine parks and marine sports such as wind surfing. The pearly white sandy beaches along the coast is one of the main attractions but there are more that Redang Island can offer that makes your trip a worthwhile visit.

These are just some of the paradise islands that Malaysia can offer. Visiting these islands will surely make your visit to Malaysia the most memorable one. If you have the time to spend, move away for a while from a typical trip to city full of skyscrapers and enjoy the breathtaking experience at these beautiful islands of Malaysia.

Hi

If you love beaches and if you are a nature lover, then you have to visit Langkawi. Located on the Andaman Sea, it is an archipelago that comprises of 99 islands. The state is famous for its verdant and exotic beaches, lush and dense forests and enthralling mountain ranges. Even a few years back, the state was inaccessible for the tourists and is often referred as the "Malaysia's best kept secret". It attracts millions of visitors from across the world and is a top contender for the title of Malaysia's largest tourist draw.

Thanks
