About the trip

This 12-night itinerary starts amid Singapore’s surprisingly green cityscape, moving from the neon-lit hawker stalls of Chinatown to the colonial and cultural pockets of Little India and Kampong Glam, with a close look at Peranakan heritage. Heading north into Malaysia, the colonial port of Malacca offers quiet riverside streets and historic temples before Kuala Lumpur’s mix of temples, markets and high-rises.

The pace slows as you travel to the hill country of the Cameron Highlands, with its tea estates and 4WD tracks, before continuing north through towns rich with Malay royal history and craft traditions, ending with a homestay by Chenderoh Lake. The final days take you to the artisan and street food capital of Penang, then across to Langkawi, where calm beaches and island scenery offer a gentle finish to the trip.Explore Worldwide’s escorted style keeps the group moving steadily, with a good mix of cultural visits and options for free time to wander or relax.
