4. Savor on the Traditional Home-cooked Meals
Locals are very friendly there. We travelled through Malaysia for three weeks and locals invited us to enjoy their hospitality. They have unique dining manners you should know before visiting them –
- They sit on the floor with family on the meal time.
- If you are visiting them, it would be a nice gesture to bring a small gift for them or a souvenir from your own country.
- As a courtesy of respect, they allow the guests to sit next to the elder family member.
- The host asks you to start eating. If you start eating without waiting for them, it shows disrespect.
- Don’t use your left hand to eat. Left hand is strictly avoided for both eating and serving as it is used for washroom.
- Each grain of rice shouldn’t be wasted and is considered holy. You need to finish enough rice possible as it shouldn’t go into waste.
- Wait for the elders to take serving.
5. Hiking at Bako National Park
Bako National Park is a stunning paradise in Kuching filled with wildlife, rainforest, and secluded beaches. Head to Bako Village and take a boat to get there. It has 16 color-coded treks to offer different hiking and walking options.
When you visit there, you will definitely spot wildlife. You can spot silver leaf monkeys and long-tailed macaques jumping across the trees, plenty of monitor lizards and squirrels, and wild boars poking around the park.
6. Explore the Incredible Batu Caves
The exciting Batu Caves is located just 20 minutes at the outskirts of KL. You shouldn’t skip this giant cave temple while visiting Kuala Lumpur. The birds flying across the cave and monkeys playing around the walls add to a captivating sight to behold. There are 272 steps you need to climb to reach the temple and entry is free. Be sure to cover your knees and shoulders as it is a pilgrimage attraction. It is very easy to get there by train as it is just 13 km from the city. In every 30 minutes, you can take a train from KL Sentral, which costs only 4 MYR.
7. Have Fun with Orangutans
You can volunteer and get up close to these endangered species on Orangutan Island in Taiping. These orangutans were rescued from illegal trade and possession. Since then, they call this sanctuary their home. You can also play your part to save these smart and beautiful creatures. The treks here are covered by a cage to ensure safety of volunteers and workers. The rest of the island is free to roam for the orangutans where they can create nests and climb trees. We also helped the workers in cleaning, feeding and observing them.
8. Visit the Perhentian Islands to See the Sea Turtles
The Perhentian Islands is definitely a place known as the “Maldives of Malaysia” located closely to the coast of Thailand. You can easily get there by water taxi or ferry. You can enjoy scuba diving in the pristine beaches. Volunteering with sea turtles was such a great adventure. We were indulged in protecting turtle nesting beaches and photo research.
Getting there was also easy. Fly with Air Asia, Malaysia Airline, or Fireflyz from KL to either Kota Bharu or Kuala Terengganu which takes over 45 minutes. Take either taxi or bus to Kuala Besut jetty. The journey takes up to 1 hour from Kota Bharu airport or over 1 and a half hour from Kuala Terengganu airport.
