Kuala Lumpur & Langkawi Escape

Kuala Lumpur · Langkawi · 6 nights

Six nights from Kuala Lumpur to Langkawi, paced around the days that matter.

The Journey

The days are built around Towers, Temples and Markets; SkyCab, SkyBridge and the Rainforest; Batu Caves and the Highlands; and Mangroves and the Geopark. Each one is set out below with what you will see, how you get there and which meals are included.

Common Questions

Do Indian passport holders need a visa for Malaysia?+

Malaysia currently allows Indian passport holders visa-free entry for short stays, with an online arrival card. We confirm the rules before you travel.

What should we wear at the Batu Caves?+

Clothing covering shoulders and knees; sarongs can be hired at the entrance. Keep food out of sight of the macaques.

When is the best time for Langkawi?+

November to April, the drier season on the west coast.

How far in advance should we book?+

Three to four months ahead gives the widest choice of rooms and guided days, and more for school holidays, festivals and peak season. Shorter notice is often possible; ask and we will check live availability.

Can the itinerary be customised?+

Yes. Every journey is a starting point: add or remove nights, swap a day's plan, change hotels or reorder the route, and your travel specialist re-plans the whole trip around it.

What is the payment schedule?+

Your quote sets out the deposit that confirms the booking and the date the balance is due. Both depend on the hotels, airlines and guides involved, so they are agreed with you before you pay anything.
