Malaysia

1. Find Out Which Month to Go

Our advice: Travel in February.

February is one of the best months to visit Malaysia, especially if you plan to explore Kuala Lumpur, Penang, or Langkawi. The weather is mostly dry across the west coast, with daytime temperatures around 29–32°C, making it great for city tours, island hopping, and food walks. Plus, you can catch the Chinese New Year celebrations, which add color and culture to your experience.

If February isn’t an option, July is also excellent. It’s slightly warmer but still dry in most western parts of Malaysia. It’s ideal for visiting beaches like Langkawi or Pangkor, and flight prices are often slightly lower than in the winter months.

Average Prices

  • Flights to Malaysia are cheapest in May, with roundtrip fares from Delhi starting around ₹16,500.

  • Hotels in Kuala Lumpur average ₹3,200 per night, with budget stays starting from ₹1,800.

Weather Overview

  • Avoid November–December if you’re heading to the east coast (like Tioman or Perhentian) — it’s the peak of the monsoon.

  • February to April is dry, with minimal rainfall and lots of sunshine.

  • July and August are hot but manageable with fewer wet days.

Crowds to Avoid

December and early January see the most international travelers due to holidays. Prices peak and city spots get crowded. For fewer tourists, consider early February or mid-July, when crowds are smaller but experiences remain great.

2. Nail Down Your Travel Dates

Our advice: Go from Thursday, 6th February to Tuesday, 11th February.

This 6-day window covers both weekdays and the weekend, giving you time to enjoy Malaysia’s shopping, beaches, nightlife, and cultural festivals. These dates often fall just after Chinese New Year, so you’ll enjoy the festive decor without the extreme crowds.

Flights for Kuala Lumpur (KUL)

Flights are best booked 45–60 days in advance for February. Prices are usually steady and drop mid-week. AirAsia, Batik Air, and Malaysia Airlines operate regular flights on this route.

Hotel Pricing in Malaysia

Hotel prices are stable but vary by location:

  • Weekday average in KL: ₹3,000 per night

3. See When to Book

It’s time to book your trip!

To grab the best deals, book your Malaysia trip at least 5–7 weeks in advance, especially for travel during February. Hotel prices in popular places like KL, Langkawi, and Penang can rise closer to holidays and events.

Use fare alerts or flexible date tools to get the best value on flights — mid-week departures tend to be cheaper. February, being part of the dry season, gets booked fast, so don’t wait too long.
