Hostelling Information

Country Overview

Trek along a vast network of jungle trails; dive over vibrant coral reefs; visit Chinese temples and tombs; go white-water rafting down thundering rivers; eat satay with rice cakes. Malaysia is a wonderful mix of Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous tribal peoples, all of which is reflected in the colourful culture of today. Kuala Lumpur, the bustling capital, boasts some of Asia's tallest sky scrapers as well as stately colonial buildings and lively markets; the old port town of Melaka shows off its Portuguese, Dutch and British past as well as its intriguing Baba-Nonya houses (a Chinese-Malay combination); while the extensive Taman Negara National Park, one of the oldest rainforests in the world, offers opportunities for walking through lush vegetation among mouse deer, monkeys, tapirs and even (rarely sighted) leopards. From the beachside of Port Dickson to the secluded greenery of Kuala Tahan, Malaysia's hostels are well placed for exploring some of the many facets of this kaleidoscopic country.
