Destination Profile
The smells of ginger and peanut waft through the sleepless bazaars of Jalan Alor while futuristic skyscrapers lurch overhead. There are carved mosques next to mystical Taoist shrines. There are traffic-clogged superhighways clawing over parklands peppered with palm trees. It can only be Kuala Lumpur. The beating heart of Malaysia, it's a city of maximum multiculturalism and intense diversity. One moment you could be munching on Malay satay skewers in street markets, the next sipping slick highballs in a 57th-floor cocktail bar. Tempted? Cheap flights to Kuala Lumpur should be easy to come by. This is a hub of Southeast Asia, meaning great deals on tickets are on offer with a whole host of regional and international airlines.
The symbol of Kuala Lumpur and the onetime tallest structures on the planet, the Petronas Towers have high-perched bars and observation points.
People watching and shopping hit their KL zenith in Bukit Bintang. Head down for haute fashion boutiques and sizzling Chinese food stalls aplenty.
Housed in colossal limestone caverns on the outskirts of KL, the Batu Caves are an enthralling introduction to Tamil-Hindu worship. You can't miss the huge gold effigy of Lord Murugan at the entrance.
