Malaysia October Holidays

The tropical paradise of Malaysia offers heat and humidity all year round, with two main seasons: the wet and the dry. But the promise of an occasional shower shouldn’t deter keen travelers, especially when Malaysia October holidays have so much to offer. In fact, this time of year can supply cultural and religious festivals, quieter tourist hotspots and plenty of warming Laksa serving eateries (perfect for rumbling stomachs). Make the most of the warm weather with days spent lounging on the beach and turtle spotting along the coast of Marang or head inland to Penang or Kuala Lumpur to immerse yourself in the Hindu festivities. Meanwhile foodies can enjoy an abundance of hearty Malaysian grub, from fine dining establishments to authentic street food stands before wetting the whistle with a warming brew in the tea fields of the Cameron Highlands. There’s so much to be seen, eaten and appreciated here, it’s easy to see why so many find themselves falling in love with all that Malaysia October holidays have to offer.

Malaysia October Holidays Guide

Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday

Those looking for an autumnal escape will find Malaysia October holidays can offer the perfect blend of adventure meets relaxation, with a trip that has something for all. There’s no denying that October is a transitional month for the Malaysian climate, with the usual heat and humidity cooled by the occasional downpours, but it’s not all umbrella yielding and raincoat wearing. There’s plenty to see, whether it’s the depths of limestone Batu caves, heights of the Langkawi Skybridge or ground level wanderings around the Kuala Lumpur Pavilion. Wherever you chose to venture on your Malaysian autumnal escape you can be sure that it’ll be a trip unlike any other.


Enjoy a Brew in the Cameron Highlands

Tea fanatics rejoice; the rolling verdant Cameron Highlands offer brews aplenty. Take a tour of a tea plantation with a local guide before sipping a Cameron cup of warming tea, with the emerald hillsides acting as the perfect backdrop. There’s also gentle strolls and hikes, strawberry plantations to explore and souvenir stalls to browse so whether you’re a lover of all things tea or just keen to spend a day exploring, this experience is a must.


Explore the Depths of the Batu Caves

The Batu Caves are an ascent unlike any other, with day trippers able to experience the labyrinth of complex caverns and temples carved into the limestone cliffs. Discover otherworldly scenes, shrines and bridges; walk up the colourful 200-step staircase and admire the gargantuan gold Arulmigu Murugan Statue – standing at 140ft, it is the tallest statue of a Hindu deity in Malaysia and the third tallest in the world.
