Read about the best & quickest routes to save time & money, as suggested by our travelers

By Air

The best way to reach Malaysia from India is by air. There are many direct flights from India to Malaysia. However, the Chennai to Malaysia flight is the shortest one with less than 4 hours. Malaysia has 3 significant airports, namely, Senai International Airport, Kota Kinabalu International Airport and Kuala Lumpur International Airport. While Mumbai to Malaysia flight takes about 5 hours 15 minutes, Bangalore to Malaysia flight takes tourists to Kuala Lumpur International Airport in 4 hours 15 minutes. The flight duration is approximately 9 hours and depends widely on the city chosen by the traveler. The flight rates are reasonable and offer a comfortable journey. Traveling by air from India to Malaysia is also very safe as compared to the other ways commutation.

By Train

Though there are no direct India to Malaysia trains, if one wants to experience a railways journey in Malaysia, one can take the Keretapi Tanah Melayu commonly referred to as KTM, which is a Malayan Railway service that offers daily train services from Singapore and Thailand. One can take a direct flight from any of the metropolitan cities of India up to Singapore and Thailand, and then a train from there. The Malaysia route of the train is very beautiful, and one gets to experience some of the gorgeous views of the country.

By Road

With a Malaysia to India distance of about 5700 km, traveling from India to Malaysia by road is quite exhausting. One may find the idea of a road trip very exciting, but it can be very expensive, tiring, and time-consuming. India to Malaysia route that one has to follow is India- Myanmar- Thailand- Malaysia. There are many documents required for passing through each country, and therefore, it is very expensive. However, if one wants to have a glimpse of the scenic road views, one can travel from Singapore and Thailand to Malaysia by bus.

Thus, these were some of the answers to the frequently asked questions among the travelers that are, how to reach Malaysia. One can choose the way they want to reach their destination. However, the best and the cheapest way to reach Malaysia is by air, which is both less tiring and less time-consuming.

    Ayushi's 6 days trip to Malaysia

    Langkawi itinerary, hospitality, hotel and cab services was great. There was a small confusion about lunch in the itinerary but was dealt by the tour company in a very professional manner. So overall experience of langkawi was amazing. In Kuala Lumpur hotel would be better and same was with the itin
    erary. As the view from the hotel was just construction sites, rooms were extremely small with very small beds. Rooms were not at all sound proof and you can hear everything of the adjacent rooms. The places covered in the night tour were not clearly mentioned so there was confusion with the driver. Also the hospitality of the cab drivers in Kuala Lumpur was not satisfactory. Hence the experience of KL would have been much better.

    Priyanka's 4 days trip to Malaysia

    Hi, What went well: 1. The team was good and informative 2. The booking process was smooth 3. Team suggested 4 hours will be enough for local sightseeing, but on my request It was changed to 6 hours. But we were able to complete the local tour in 4 hours. I should have listened to the team's Suggest
    ion! 4. Driver said we had to take cable car to and fro Genting highlands. But as per package it will be cable car one side and cab the second side. I've informed this to the team, it was handled perfectly. 5. Driver suggested great places to roam around and buy souvenirs What could be better Driver wasn't informed that my stay is in Ibis City center. So we were taken to Fraser park first. After checking with Reception, we started to Ibis City center. After reaching city center, the receptionist said confirmation number we received is already cancelled. The Driver spoke with travel agent and got it fixed. These two took ample amount of time. This is not major inconvenience, but could be avoided with proper communication. Additional Suggestions: Initially Ibis Fraser park was suggested to me. Upon my request while booking, it was changed to Ibis City Center. Upon going there, I observed that Fraser park surroundings were deserted, while city center was lively. I would suggest you to add Ibis City center by default.

    Radhika's 3 days trip to Malaysia

    Everything went well with the trip. The pick up for all sight seeing yours was on time and the pick up driver was very friendly. We I fact got a Tamil speaking driver which was so convenient. She helped us with all the sites and attractions in our leisure time apart from the tours mentioned in the p
    ackage. Overall our experience was very good. Langkawi is such a beautiful place. We went to Chennai beach, cable car, sky bridge and many other attractions. The one thing I didn’t like was the cab was available till evening 6 only and we had to pay a huge fare for a vehicle which was too big for us (arranged by the driver) on one evening beyond 6 pm. It was unnecessary and we paid a huge fare for the van just for 2 people. It was not our mistake that no other vehicle was available. Why should we pay for the big vehicle? Other than that everything was fine. Better suggestions for restaurants could have been provided. Could have included a complimentary photo shoot which makes the package a lot more attractive. Please include this in next packages. Thank you. This is a picture of us on one of the islands during island hopping tour in langkawi
