Total cost that we spent on our Malaysia trip was 69,975. So for the entire Singapore and Malaysia trip for 9 days, we spent around 1,53,035. For a single person, the cost comes around 76,000 which is way cheaper if you compare with any package offered with same attractions.

Tips and Tricks to travel Malaysia.

  1. When you buy sim card for Singapore, buy with roaming in Malaysia.
  2. Always use Grab in Malaysia and don’t take local taxi. They charge very high compared to Grab.
  3. Book entry tickets in Klook and save a good amount of money.
  4. For the Island hopping, take extra pair of dresses since we can swim in the lake.
  5. KL Airport to KL Sentral buses are frequent, cheap and comfortable.
  6. Chocolates can be bought in Haniffa store at good price.
  7. Don’t miss the lunch at Maya mess in KL Sentral.
