Experiences

What you actually do on the trip

The days are not only coach windows. These are the meals, walks and afternoons that make up a Diwaka Asia trip, grouped by the kind of day you want.

Food

Hawker centre lunch

A shared table of rice, noodles and grilled meat, ordered the way the queue does it. The guide handles the ordering and the chilli.

Penang street food walk

An evening walk through George Town's food streets, with stops for char kway teow, satay and cendol.

Culture and heritage

Batu Caves morning

The rainbow steps, the temple cave and the market below. We arrive early, before the coach groups and the heat.

Kek Lok Si temple

The tiered pagoda and temple roofs above Penang, with time to walk the grounds and look out over the island.

Nature

Cameron Highlands tea estate

Terraced tea bushes, cool air and a walk through the plantation with a stop for tea at the top.

Singapore Botanic Gardens

A slow morning under the rain trees and through the orchids, with space for the children to run.

City

Marina Bay at night

The bay walk after dark, with the skyline, the light show and a stop for photos across the water.

Kuala Lumpur city centre

The Petronas Towers, the old market and the streets between them, on foot with the guide.

Family

Sentosa beach afternoon

A free afternoon on the sand with the children, a picnic and the cable car back to the city.

Gardens by the Bay

The Supertree Grove and the cooled conservatories, planned for the middle of the day when the heat peaks.
