Malaysia: places not to miss

• Genting Highlands and Skyway: go on a weekday if you can.

• Petronas Twin Towers: a favourite of couples.
• KL Tower: worth a half day.
• Sunway Lagoon: easy to combine with a nearby stop.
• Putrajaya: book tickets a day ahead.
• Batu Caves: best early in the morning.

Our team's favourite moments: Climbing the 272 steps of Batu Caves, the Genting Skyway, Langkawi's Sky Bridge and an island-hopping trip with eagle feeding.

Malaysia month by month

December to February is the best time for the west coast and Langkawi; the east coast islands are best from March to September.

Malaysia on a smaller budget: what works

• Grab is the easiest way to move around; the KL Monorail and LRT are cheap and air-conditioned.
• Travel in April, May and August when hotels in Malaysia are cheaper than in December.
• Pick the Malaysia area first, then the hotel: Bukit Bintang in Kuala Lumpur, Genting Highlands for one night, Pantai Cenang in Langkawi.
• KL has metro and monorail; Genting is about an hour by road; Langkawi and Penang are short flights.
• Shared (SIC) tours cost far less than private ones and work well for couples and solo travellers.
• Dress modestly at Batu Caves and mosques; Langkawi is duty free.
