Taman Negara, which in Malay means National Park, after independence. Around 130 million years old it is

revolving restaurant in the tower from where guests can enjoy the dinner with panoramic views of the city.
8) Georgetown Inner City

Malaysia named after Britain’s King George III. In Malay, George Town is called as Tanjung and most of the
people here are of Chinese Origin. Georgetown’s inner city has been described as a World Heritage Site by
UNESCO and is a very attractive place to spend a few days. Architecture of the buildings here is very different
from what you find in Malaysia. In fact, Georgetown is officially recognized as a city having unique
architecture and culture townscape. In Evening, the town is at its peak when most of the locals gather around
nearby street hawkers.
7) Mount Kinabalu
Located in the East Malaysian state, Mount Kinabalu is a prominent mountain on the island of Borneo
protected by a World Heritage Site, Kinabalu Park. The elevation of the mountain is at 4,095m above sea level
and is the highest mountain in Borneo. With around 5000 to 6000 species of plants, 326 species of birds and
100 mammalian species Mount Kinabalu is one of the most important biological sites in the World and a
UNESCO World Heritage Site. There is no need for mountain climbing equipment’s while climbing as a

Opened in 1964 , Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre is located within the Kabili-Sepilok Forest Reserve and is a
project for rescued orphan baby orgutans from logging sites and illegal hunting. They are again trained how to
survive in the Wild and as soon as they are ready they are released. At present, there are total 60 to 80 orgutans
are living free in the reserve. The purpose of the project is very initiative and is very much appreciated
everywhere. I don’t see any reason why to keep Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre out of the list of top tourist
attractions in Malaysia.
4) Petronas Towers
Petronas Towers also called as Petronas Twin Towers was the tallest structure in the world from 1998 to 2004
designed by Cesar Pelli. The construction started in 1993 and completed in 1996 with estimated cost of around
US $1.6 billion. The Petronas Towers are still the tallest twin towers in the World and are a landmark of Kuala
Lumpur. The towers are built largely of concrete with a steel and glass façade design to resemble reflection of
Malaysia’s Muslim religion. During the time of construction, there were several problems like leaning,
concrete failure but the work still got completed in the deadline set by the Malaysian Government. The towers
are connected with each other through a sky bridge on 41st and 42
nd floors.
3) Batu Caves
Located in Gombak district, Batu Caves is a limestone hill and one of the most popular Hindu shrines out of
India around 400 million years old. The name of the Cave is derived from the nearby flowing Sungai Batu or
Batu River. Batu Caves Temple Complex consists of three main caves and there are two more cave temples at
the base of the hill which contains Hindu Statues and Paintings. In 2006, a 140 ft feet high statue of Lord
Murugan was placed outside the Batu Caves and is the World’s largest statue of Lord Murugan. Wooden Steps
upto the temple cave were built in 1920 which was later replaced with 272 concrete steps. Definitely one of the
top tourist attractions in Malaysia.
2) Langkawi
Langkawi is an archipelago or cluster of 104 islands located in the Andaman Sea and are part of state of
Kheda. Adjacent to the Thai Border, it is one of the best holiday destination of Malaysia. It is a duty-free island
in which the largest island is Pulau Langkawi with population of around 65,000. Two-Third part of the island
is dominated by forest covered mountains which makes the location ideally natural for tourism. Langakwi has
been accorded World Geopark status by UNESCO and there are also many attractions available here for you to
explore gracefully. The pedestrian walk on the Langkawi Sky Bridge will be the highlight of your trip. How
can we ignore such a cool place when we are mentioning top tourist attractions in Malaysia.
1) Gunung Mulu National Park
Located in Gunung Mulu National Park, Mulu Caves is one of the biggest Caves in the National Park and a
UNESCO World Heritage Site named after Mount Mulu. Within the National Park, Sarawak Chamber- the
