Kuala Lumpur & Bali
From the shadow of the Petronas Towers to Bali's rice terraces and sea temples, in six nights
Kuala Lumpur · Batu Caves · Ubud · Tanah Lot · Uluwatu
Overview
This route lets you experience two very different rhythms of Southeast Asia back to back. First comes Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia's multicultural capital, where colonial-era buildings, Chinese temples and Indian neighbourhoods sit among the skyscrapers. Then a short flight takes us to Bali, where we settle into the island's gentler pace for four nights.
In Kuala Lumpur we see the Petronas Twin Towers, Merdeka Square and the Batu Caves set in limestone hills. In Bali we explore Ubud's rice terraces and Monkey Forest, watch the sunset at Tanah Lot, perched on a rock in the sea, and see the Kecak dance at Uluwatu; the rest of the time is yours for the beach and pool.
We fly long-haul with Qatar Airways and take AirAsia between Kuala Lumpur and Bali. A Turkish-speaking tour leader accompanies you from Istanbul, and at both stops we stay in 4★ hotels with breakfast.

- Merdeka Square and the Sultan Abdul Samad Building
