Singapore and Mainland Malaysia
Two trips in one
We are proposing a journey in two chapters. The first: Singapore. Urban and modern yet showcasing the traditional, with some of the most recognisable architecture in Asia. The second: Malaysia. An amazing journey through a country full of contrasts, from the cosmopolitan capital Kuala Lumpur to the fascinating and tropical Penang, stopping at places such as colonial Malacca, the Cameron Highlands tea plantations, the orangutan research centre Bukit Merah and the stunning Belum Nature Reserve.

- The triple accommodation in Belum is based on a double and a single room.
