Let’s see what you can do within 10 days on the West Coast of Malaysia with Asia King Travel
The beauty of Malacca, one of the popular destinations on the West Coast of Malaysia
Malaysia’s West Coast is well-known as the country’s most cosmopolitan cities with the best infrastructure, as well as a melting pot of Malay, Chinese, Indian and European culture. These can be clearly seen at the famous sites like George Town and Malacca. Besides that, the region has remarkable natural attractions with pleasant weather and attractive activities, so this is a must-visit.
There are various tours to this region with plenty of itineraries, but a 10-day West Coast Malaysia tour would be the most suitable. These days are enough for you to see most of the popular spots, as well as explore natural attractions and join activities like trekking, swimming and diving.
The first two days of the West Coast Malaysia Tour 10 Days will be your own time to explore Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. As soon as you land in the city on the first day, take a quick rest before heading out in the evening. After that, you can start strolling around to have your first impression of this stunning multicultural capital.
The next day is all about your Kuala Lumpur city tour. Being a city famous for the blend of traditions and modernity, you must see the symbolic sites such as the Petronas Twin Towers, the National Museum with precious exhibitions and artifacts, and so on.
The National Museum is an ideal destination to learn about history and culture of Malaysia
In addition, don’t miss the Batu Caves, which is known as the most famous and sacred Hindu shrine in Malaysia. The site is made up of impressive limestone caves and temples with a giant and dedicated golden statue of Lord Murugan, which is a highlight that attracts every tourist’s attention.
Having seen the whole city in the day, it’s time you spend your nights exploring Kuala Lumpur’s lively nightlife. Malaysia is known as the shoppers’ paradise where everything here is so cheap, so don’t miss your chance to get yourself something here. Try to do some shopping, try out some local street food and beat the games at the amusement centres. This start makes your 10-day itinerary to the West Coast of Malaysia exciting from the beginning.
Leaving Kuala Lumpur, spend one day to make your trip to Malacca. The city is known as a UNESCO World Heritage Site that has a perfect blend of Eastern and Western cultures, which can be easily seen through plenty of architectural sites.
A Famosa is one of the most famous historical landmarks in Malaysia
In the morning, visit Saint Peter’s Church, the oldest functioning Roman Catholic Church in Malaysia. After that, move to St. Paul Hill, and we will have a chance to see the ruins of A Famosa Fortress - one of the symbols of the old Malacca city. There are also some Saint Paul’s Church and Christ Church, which are just a few minutes walk away from the site.
After lunch, continue to visit Cheng Hoon Teng Temple, the oldest Chinese temple in Southeast Asia, built in 1645 by two Chinese generals during the period of Portuguese occupation. And to cap the day, take a stroll along Jonker Street to the Malacca River and wander around the city by boat to watch the city glow under the evening lights.
Want to escape from the city heat? Then head up to Genting Highlands, known as the “city of clouds”. At an altitude of more than 2,000 meters above sea level, the highlands have a cool climate all year round.
Along the route, you can choose to make a stop at the famous Happy Bee Farm, Genting Strawberry Leisure Farm or Chin Swee Cave Temple. In the Happy Bee Farm, you will have a chance to see the bees’ natural habitat and honey production, while in the Genting Strawberry Farm, you can have some fresh strawberries and visit the flower garden. Allow yourself to get to the Chin Swee Cave Temple, as it will surprise you because of its stunning beauty as well as its background story.

For the fifth day, the journey continues to Chamang Waterfall in Sunga Lembing, which is about a 3-hour drive. The route might be a bit winding, which makes you dizzy, but when you reach the site, you won’t be disappointed at all. Besides the amazing scenery of the beautiful and powerful waterfall, you can also sit on the rocks and have a small picnic, as well as jump into the cool water to have a natural spa experience.
Having enjoyed the cooling water at the Chamang Waterfall, continue to the Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary. Here, you will have a chance to watch videos and see the daily activities of the elephants, as an inspiring conservation project. For lunch, we are having some Lembing noodles, a type of dish that is commonly seen here.
The magical view from the summit of Panorama Hill
For the afternoon itinerary, challenge yourself by climbing 100 steps on Panorama Hill, which takes about 45 minutes to reach the top. This hike may be quite short, but trust us, the magical view from the summit with a sea of clouds will stun you, especially if you are a photographer or a nature lover.
After a long active day, spend your time relaxing at a hotel in Sungai Lembing and prepare for the next days of the West Coast Malaysia Tour 10 Days at the coast.
For the next three days, your 10-day itinerary to the West Coast of Malaysia takes you to Tioman Island via Tanjung Gemuk. You will spend your time on Tioman Island and have a chance to enjoy the breeze of the ocean.
The island is surrounded by clear blue water and white sand beaches, so it will be a pity if you don’t enjoy any underwater activity. Diving and snorkelling are among the must-try activities, especially if you want to see how beautiful the underwater life here is. Or if you just want to ease yourself, you can surely enjoy sunbathing on the coast or swimming in the cool water.
