Why Visit Malaysia?

Malaysia is one of the easiest first trips abroad from Nepal. It's a short direct flight away, English is spoken almost everywhere, and one week can cover a big city, cool hills and the sea.

Most holidays start in Kuala Lumpur, with day trips to the Batu Caves, Genting Highlands and the old port city of Malacca. With a few more days, add Langkawi's beaches, Penang's street food or the tea gardens of the Cameron Highlands.

Mosques, Chinese temples and Hindu shrines a few streets apart, and all three cultures meet on your plate.

Passion Tour And Holiday Service can help travellers from Nepal plan hotels, private transfers, sightseeing and visa paperwork to suit their dates, interests and budget. Malaysia also pairs well with Singapore.

Travel Tips

Malaysia Travel Guide for Nepali Visitors

Prepare the essentials before departure and check current official requirements close to your travel date.

Entry and Visa

Nepali passport holders need a visa for Malaysia, which can be applied for online as an eVISA. You'll usually need a passport valid for 6 months, a recent photo, a bank statement, and return flight and hotel bookings. Visitors also fill in the Malaysia Digital Arrival Card before landing. We prepare the application with you.

Weather and Timing

Malaysia is warm all year, around 25 to 33°C, with short afternoon showers. Kuala Lumpur and Malacca are usually drier from December to February and June to August, and Langkawi and Penang are best from about November to April.

Money and Currency

Malaysia uses the ringgit (MYR). Cards work in hotels, malls and most restaurants, but keep cash for food stalls and markets. Money changers in shopping areas usually give better rates than the airport.

Getting Around

In Kuala Lumpur, the LRT and MRT trains are cheap and connect most sights, and Grab works well for cars. For day trips, a private car and driver is the most comfortable option. Langkawi and Penang are about an hour's flight from KL.

Local Customs

Light, casual clothes are fine in cities and at the beach. At mosques and temples, cover your shoulders and knees and remove your shoes. Use your right hand to give or receive things. Plugs are UK-style Type G, so bring an adaptor.

Food Tips

Indian and vegetarian food is easy to find, especially in Brickfields, KL's Little India. Malay restaurants are halal, so they serve no pork. Rendang and satay are often made with beef, so ask for chicken if you avoid it.
