Make the most of Malaysia's festivals and celebrations with these helpful tips.
Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, Deepavali, and December holidays see high demand. Reserve accommodations and tours 2-3 months in advance.
During major festivals, Malaysians welcome visitors to their homes. It is a unique cultural experience. Ask your guide about opportunities.
For temple and mosque visits during festivals, dress modestly. We provide guidance and arrange appropriate attire where needed.
Let us craft a custom itinerary around the events and celebrations that interest you most. From Chinese New Year lion dances to Hari Raya open houses, we will ensure you experience the best of Malaysia's multicultural celebrations.
