Travel to Kuala Lumpur

Seeking help in order to know how to go to Kuala Lumpur? Then, here is our travel guide to let you figure out how to commute to this amazing destination conveniently.

With Kuala Lumpur International Airport being the major airport, which is located at a mere distance of 50 kms from the city, this place is quite accessible for tourists from around the world. Hence, Indian tourists can board flights, like: Air Asia, British Airways, and others to cover the India to Kuala Lumpur distance of around 3841 kms in less than 4 hours.

There are direct flights to Kuala Lumpur from Indian cities such as Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai, etc. Kuala Lumpur is the capital of Malaysia and is also the largest city in the country. The place is very well developed and has some of the most beautiful sights to offer to its tourists. One must visit this place to have the best time of their lives. Getting to Malaysia is no big deal as several international airlines offer comfortable flights. The cheap flights help in having this wonderful trip on a small budget.

Let’s get to know how to reach Kuala Lumpur while boarding a flight.

The distance from Kuala Lumpur airport to city center is around 55 km and is a one-hour drive. Therefore, reaching Kuala Lumpur from India by air is the best way to get to the city of skyscrapers. There are many flights from some of the renowned airports of the country like Indira Gandhi International Airport, Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, and others which can take the tourists to their destination. From the airport, there are many local transportation options like taxis, buses that take everyone to the main city of Kuala Lumpur. Apart from this, the distance between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur and the distance between Kuala Lumpur to Penang is same, around 350 km; therefore, one can take a flight up to these two cities, and then a bus to Kuala Lumpur.

There is no railway connectivity from India to Malaysia. However, there are many trains from either Penang or Singapore. The Penang to Kuala Lumpur distance is around 350 km, which is the same distance between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. The trains take around 9 hours to take the travelers from one place to another, and one must travel in them at least once to have an experience of the Malaysian modes of transportation.

Reaching Kuala Lumpur from Penang by road can be one of the best options for a road trip. The distance between Penang and Kuala Lumpur is about 350 km; therefore, it takes around 7 hours for a person to reach Kuala Lumpur. Another option for a nice road trip is from Singapore. Therefore, one gets to enjoy the scenic beauty and explore some of the other lost cities and villages of Malaysia, which portray the authentic Malaysian culture. Other major attraction in a road trip is the local street food of Malaysia that one gets to taste from different parts of the country.

Thus, this was the answer to the question- how to reach Kuala Lumpur. Based on the budget and the time that a person has to travel and explore the country, one can choose from a wide range of modes of transportation.

Sakshi's 5 days trip to Kuala Lumpur

We visited Kuala Lumpur and genting with Kushark holidays in first week of October. We were a group of 12 which included 4 senior citizens and 3 children. Hence, we wanted a smooth trip for us. Sagar ensured that, he provided comfortable cabs, enough time to explore places, we were not rushed anywhere which made our experience memorable. We would recommend Kushark, as they have provided a complete package at an affordable price and service delivered was top notch. Thanks Kushark and Sagar once again

Vidya's 8 days trip to Kuala Lumpur

We booked 7 days and 6 nights Malaysia tour through Kushark Holidays. Travel and activities. Overall it was well arranged trip thanks to Sagar. He is always there whatever might be the day and time. Response is excellent. I would definitely recommend them for anyone going to Malaysia. Thanks to Sagar Sonker and Kushark Holidays. One small feedback is that it would be good to have some flexibility in car pickup timings while in the country.

Manoj's 5 days trip to Kuala Lumpur

I recently went on a vacation to Malaysia through Kushark Holidays and I had a good experience during my stay in Malaysia. I just had an idea to go to Malaysia and Sagar helped in making best out of the trip by suggesting go visit Langkawi and KL with 4 nights and 5 days. Ankush was very supportive during the trip and he was available for the call always (I would have called him more than 10 times in 5 days :D) he made sure I faced no hustle. I prefer Kushark Holidays for my future trips as well. Thank you Ankush and Sagar

Agarwalshashank's 7 days trip to Kuala Lumpur

My itenary was well planned by Mr Shubham and gave me room enough to relax along with coverage of most of the tourist spots. All the cabs and driver were well behaved and English speaking which made it easy to communicate. Hotel could have been better. Overall nice stay. Genting Highlands was awesome.
