Visiting Kuala Lumpur for the first time and planning to explore the best Kuala Lumpur Attractions? With rich history and architecture, Kuala Lumpur city is a great destination for lovers of history, culture and architecture. During my last visit to Kuala Lumpur, I decided to explore Kuala Lumpur City Center area. Merdeka Square, Central Market and Masjid India area are located close to each other. These locations are some of the most popular tourist attractions in KL.
Johor Bahru is a popular city of Malaysia located at the Southern tip of mainland Malaysia and a gateway to Singapore. With its proximity to Singapore, Johor Bahru has seen plenty of development and growth in the last few decades making this city an amazing place to visit for a weekend break or an extended stay.
I visit Johor Bahru in July 2022 and decided to explore some interesting places along the way while driving from Kuala Lumpur to Johor.
Bentong is a popular tourist spot in Pahang known for its good food and night markets. I had in the past visited Tropicale Colmar in Berjaya Hills and Genting Highlands but somehow never ventured further along Highway E8 leading to Kuantan. On a clear Tuesday morning in July, I decided to visit Bentong and Berjaya Hills. The weather is great in Malaysia during July with clear skies and little humidity.
Desaru Coast is the most popular resort town located on the southern tip of East Coast Malaysia. The driving distance between Johor Bahru is 80 km with an easy one and half-hour drive on the motorway E22. After exiting the Desaru coast on highway 90, you will see the tall building of 4 points Sheraton and plenty of new development including markets and shopping area.
Muar is located south of Melaka, approximately 180km from Kuala Lumpur city. A relatively little know destination, Muar is a great location for a weekend break and is very easily accessibly from Melaka (26 km ) as well as Kuala Lumpur (180 km)
Kuantan is an amazing destination to explore with the family or for a solo traveller. The city is easily accessible from Kuala Lumpur by road or air. The interstate road network in Malaysia is world-class and driving is an enjoyable experience. For budget travellers catching a bus is an equally comfortable way to travel from Kuala Lumpur to Malaysia.
Phuket is known for its beautiful beaches and amazing Island Tours. Phuket is very densely populated with beach resorts mushrooming along the waterfront since the 1970s. If you are planning to visit Phuket this year, visiting some of the island destinations must be on your list during your visit. Phi Phi Island Tours are amongst some of the most popular day island tours in Phuket.
Planning on driving from Sydney to Forster NSW? Forster & Tuncurry are twin coastal towns located at a distance of 320 km from Sydney. The ideal coastal location is located at the estuary of the Wallamba River and three freshwater lakes in NSW, Forster is a popular location for fishing and water sports. Lined with beautiful sandy beaches, Forster provides an ideal atmosphere for a relaxed family holiday. The hinterland is home to wineries and provides ample opportunities for camping and bush-walking.
Wombeyan Caves are unique cave formations located 70 km from Mittagong in Southern Highlands. The caves form a series of Sub-terranean channels offering amazing underground exploration for cave lovers. The caves are very well maintained and can be explored with a group tour organized by Wombeyan Karst Conservation Reserve Office managed by NSW Parks.
