9 Reasons Why Orissa Is The Goa Of The East

 

Malaysia is as stunning as Thailand, and before you think it's all shopping malls, crazy traffic and skyscrapers, here are 15 things you should definitely do other than shop.

1. Get a bird's eye view of Kuala Lumpur, atop the iconic Petronas Towers or the Menara KL.

2. Visit the limestone Batu caves north of Kuala Lumpur.

The caves are host to a shrine dedicated to the Hindu deity Murugan and is one of the most popular outside India.

3. Go scuba diving at the Tioman Islands.

4. Learn how to dance like a Kadazan tribesman.

5. Try Indian dishes that have become very popular in Malaysia.

Roti chanai consists of a flaky Malabar-style paratha which is dipped in either chicken or fish curry, followed by a sip of delicious Teh Tarik (pulled ginger chai). It is a popular breakfast item among the locals.

6. Follow the ghosts of Victorian English ladies and escape from the humid heat to the Cameron Highlands.

7. Pay a visit to the snake temple in Penang.

8. Hike along Bako National Park, from the hills, forests, right down to the sea.

9. Discover the old world charm of the colonial port town of Melaka.

Melaka is also the culinary capital of the country. The famed Nyonya cuisine, which is a fusion of Chinese and Malay techniques, is something you must try while visiting the city.

10. Get an Iban style tribal tattoo.

11. Discover nature's disproportionately generous deposit - Mulu National Park.

Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the park is filled with an astounding collection of natural wonders, including the world's largest cave chamber.

12. Relax on the beaches of Langkawi island.

13. Scale new heights, and climb the highest point of Malaysia, Mount Kinabalu.

14. Stroll along the avenues that are lined by heritage shop-houses in Georgetown, Penang.

These houses merge the architectural characteristics of Chinese, Malay and western styles, giving it a distinct colonial look.

15. End your stay by sampling all the different cuisines that make up Malaysian gastronomy. Head to Jalan Alor.
