Malaysia packs a lot into a short, easy trip from India. See the Petronas Twin Towers and Batu Caves in Kuala Lumpur, ride the cable car up to the cool hills and theme parks of Genting Highlands, then relax on the beaches and island-hopping tours of Langkawi or explore the street art and food of Penang. Nature lovers can add the rainforest of Taman Negara.
Visa-free entry for Indians makes Malaysia great value right now, and Indian food is everywhere thanks to the large Indian community. Most trips are 5 to 7 nights, and Malaysia combines perfectly with Singapore. Every Trip Inventor package can be customised with hotels, islands or flights from your city.

No. Indian passport holders can visit Malaysia visa-free for up to 30 days for tourism, under a scheme that currently runs until 31 December 2026.
