Malaysia Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur

Capital city of Malaysia, known for the iconic Petronas Towers, bustling markets, diverse culinary scene, and vibrant cultural heritage.

Tips from the community

The bright lights of KL are another must on any backpacking circuit of Southeast Asia. An injection of big-city life comes with the neon haze of Bukit Bintang and its walking markets, which brim with knock-off Ray Bans and designer trinkets (it’s a real Rolex, honest!). The dual spires of the Petronas Towers command the horizon overhead, and there’s Hindu mysticism on offer at the nearby Batu Caves. Try to score yourself a bed in Reggae Mansion. With a cinema and a rooftop bar, it’s hailed by some as the most deluxe poshtel going! Wander a few hours outside of the city and find the hidden river banks of Kampung Kuantan filled with twinkling fireflies.

    Philippines is an archipelago in Southeast Asia and so the best way to and from here is through air travel. Here are some destinations in our neighboring countries you can get for cheap. (Especially during seat sales of local airlines). Note: International travel in my part of the world is still restricted but I can still dream and plan for the future.
