Ravi and his wife redefine luxury travel with an exotic trip to Singapore and Malaysia. Their trip cost them a total of INR 1,80,000 and included their flights, transfers, accommodation, sightseeing, cruise, and breakfast. Let us read their account.
My wife and I had Singapore and Malaysia on our bucket list for a long time. Once an opportunity presented us, we wasted no time in trying to plan a romantic trip to Singapore & Malaysia.
I came across the TravelTriangle Facebook page and was really intrigued by their way of providing customized travel to each of its customers. After reading plenty of positive reviews, I gained enough confidence to inquire with TravelTriangle regarding a tour package to Singapore and Malaysia.
A TravelTriangle representative reverted back to my request and understood the requirements for my trip. He connected me to various agents who provided me with multiple offers for the itinerary I wanted. I finally selected the package given to me by ’Youngistaan Travellers’ agency.
A well deserved break from work, and a chance to spend some memorable days with my wife got me excited for our trip. The packing of our bags couldn’t have been done any sooner. We were eagerly waiting to fly out and enjoy in South-East Asia.

At 4:30pm, the driver came to pick up and take us to the Night Safari. As soon the sky became pitch dark, the Night Safari started at 7.30 pm. It was fascinating seeing all the wild nocturnal animals in their natural habit. Once the safari ended at 10.30 pm, we were dropped back at the hotel.

As we got in, and explore a little, the park certainly left me starstruck and exceeded my expectations.
My wife and I covered a lot of rides and 4D shows inside the park. Few of my favorite rides were Battlestar Galactica, Far Far Away Castle, and The Mummy Returns. Also worth mentioning were the great 4D shows of The Lost Word and Madagascar.
We left the Universal Studios at 7 pm and proceeded back to the hotel absolutely thrilled with the day we just had. Later on, we had dinner and decided to call it a night.
