Planning Toolkit

Summer - (April - June)

In most regions of the country, the months of April through June are blistering hot. During this period, people tend to flock to the mountainous areas, resulting in higher crowds and lower pricing in those areas.

Monsoon (June - September)

This is the ideal time to visit Himachal's steep regions. During this period, Ladakh and other high Himalayan passes are open.

Winter (October - March)

During the winter, tourists can visit most of India's locations and attractions. They get to escape the monsoons, which have blanketed the land in a thick blanket of green and allow them to visit most of the spots at any time of day.

Freakish Local beliefs

Local superstitions may be fascinating as well as perplexing, and Malaysia is no exception. According to one theory, if a cat accidentally jumps over a dead body's coffin prior to burial, the dead will be resurrected!

Rafflesia, the world's largest flower

Malaysia is home to the world's largest flower, which is one of the country's lesser-known facts. Rafflesia is a flower that grows in abundance in the Sabah region. This huge jungle parasite blooms without a leaf, a stem, or even roots, with a diameter of 106.7cm and a weight of 11kg.

King Fruit and Queen Fruit

Malaysian fruits such as durian, sometimes known as the king, and mangosteen, often known as the queen, are popular. The flavour of durian is incredibly strong, to the point where its flaming odour might put people off. Mangosteen, on the other hand, is a tropical fruit that will calm your senses, thereby counteracting the former's heated effects.

World's Largest Cave Chamber

The world's largest cave chamber can be found in Sarawak's Gunung Mulu National Park.

Hitchhiking is very widespread in Malaysia, and locals are eager to pick up foreigners. Additional information on hitchhiking in Malaysia can be found on HitchWiki.
