In Malaysia it is always Summer so, with the nights drawing in at home, treat yourself to some late sunshine with a long weekend in Kuala Lumpur.
Our five night holiday includes a city sightseeing tour and a grandstand seat for Saturday and Sunday at the track. You will be accompanied throughout by our representative and a local guide who will ensure that you enjoy your stay to the full.
Away from the track there’s plenty to see and do. Most of the shops in the city are open twelve hours a day and there are street markets selling colourful silks and local handicrafts. Within walking distance of your hotel are bars, cafes and restaurants to suit all tastes but, if you are a little more adventurous, join the locals at the hawker stalls and tuck in to a big plate of food for just pennies.
Amidst the bustle of the modern city you will find many parks and gardens of lush tropical vegetation. You’ll also see many reminders of Malaysia’s colonial heritage in the architecture, not to mention in the restaurants where bread and butter pudding still features on many menus!
Malaysia is also rich in idyllic islands and beach resorts and we can arrange for you to extend your stay for as many days as you wish. You can go jungle trekking in the rainforest, fly south to Singapore or to the beautiful islands of Penang, Pangkor or Langkawi. The hotels offer superb services and most are within a one hour flight of Kuala Lumpur. Having made the journey to south east Asia take full advantage – you won’t be disappointed.
Sepang was the first of the new wave of technically designed circuits with sweeping bends, fast straights and two hair-raising hairpins at the end of the lap. In open countryside just one hour from the city facilities are state-of-the-art. For spectators, whereever you sit there’s maximum viewing. Included in the tour price you can choose a seat along the main mall and opposite the pit lane or in the excellent K grandstand on the first bend.
