The South China Sea divides Malaysia in two different experiences. On the one hand you have Peninsula with of course the capital city of Kuala Lumpur. On the other hand you have the rugged untangled jungle of Borneo where the awesome ‘wild’ Orang Utan can still be discovered in its own habitat.
Visiting KL (as it is often referred to by cosmopolites) means visiting the (bridge of the) mighty Petronas Towers a fitting symbol to the cities developments. In the same area are The Golden Triangle and the KLCC (Kuala Lumpur City Center) for some fine dining and the best malls in town. However this modern government city also offers travelers some green landscapes in the beautiful Lake Gardens, which houses the Islamic Museum and a colorful bird/orchid park.
Malaysia is a country that is different from other States in the region a unique combination of exotic, ancient culture and the highest level of development. In Malaysia there is almost no seasonal changes in climate, but the most cool is the time from November to January when the temperature drops to +26 °C (79 °F). However, the climate of Malaysia is different and depending on which region you are. In the South of the Malacca and Kalimantan the climate is Equatorial, hot and humid, to the North – subequatorial monsoon.

The best time to travel to Kuala Lumpur is throughout the year. As a tropical country, short afternoon showers need to be expected on a daily basis. Visitors can always enjoy the morning sightseeing, shopping, and outdoor activities comfortably. While Kuala Lumpur and most of Peninsula Malaysia can be visited year-round due to its tropical climate, it’s best to avoid travelling to the East Coast during the peak monsoon periods, November to February, as heavier rainfall, choppy sea and wind may affect travel plans and outdoor experiences.
