MALAYSIA
Not commonly considered a backpacking hotspot, Malaysia is the fiercely underrated, cultural melting pot of South East Asia. A heady combination of Malay, Indian, Chinese and European influences, result in a distinct culture unlike any other in the region.
Malaysia is as equally diverse in landscapes as it is in culture. Visitors can enjoy anything from charming heritage towns and historical cities to tropical rain forests and pristine beaches.
