Suggested Bucketlist When Travelling to Malaysia

Get Close to Turtles in Cherating

One of the most special things that you can do in Malaysia is get really close to some of the wildlife, and in Malaysia you can do better than seeing animals in cages in zoos. The Turtle Wildlife Sanctuary in Cherating is a place to get close to turtles in a natural habitat. Something very special about this place is their camping facilities. Turtles are more active at night time, so camping will give you the chance to see them hatching from eggs, and landing on the rockeries.

Hike up Penang Hill

When you are on the island of Penang, there are tonnes of cultural experiences, particularly in the Georgetown area, but that is not the beginning and end of the Penang experience, and if you are something of an adventurer you can also enjoy some hiking up Penang hill, which also contains local botanic gardens and many areas of natural beauty.

Visit the Buddhist Temple Complex of Kek Lok Si

Although Malaysia is a Muslim country, this doesn’t mean that you can’t find other religious buildings around the country, and some very impressive ones at that. The Kek Lok Si temple is the largest Buddhist temple in all of Malaysia, located on the island of Penang. This is a spectacularly impressive temple with a seven story pagoda that features 10,000 alabaster and bronze statues of the Buddha.

Tuck Into Traditional Malaysian Laksa

One of the highlights of any trip to Malaysia is the food, and perhaps the most famous of all Malaysian food is laksa. You can pretty much find it in all local restaurants in every town and city across the country, so there really is no excuse not to slurp on lots of it. If you are unfamiliar with laksa, it’s a hearty bowl of rice noodle soup that is flavoured with a spicy coconut based broth, and inside you’ll typically find shrimp, cockles, and sometimes chicken.

     

Hit a Few Golf Balls at the Royal Selangor Golf Club

Yes, there is lots to see and explore while in Malaysia, but there might be some times that you simply want to relax and unwind by hitting up a golf course, and you have quite a few options while in Malaysia. One of the most renowned courses in the country is the Royal Selangor Golf Club, and since it dates back to 1893 it’s one of the oldest golf clubs to be found anywhere in Asia. (www.rsgc.com.my)
