Kuala Lumpur, the capital city has a midway location along the West Coast of Malaysia at the meeting point of the Klang and Gombek Rivers. This probably explains the English meaning of Kuala Lumpur, “Muddy Confluence". The city is the heartbeat of the country as well as the country’s cultural, commercial and transportation hub. The multi ethnic city exudes an attractive charm for the residents as well as the tourists.

(the acronym by which Kuala Lumpur is popularly called) is fast developing into a major tourists destination for visitors from all across the globe. The city provides such variety within a short radial distance that the visitors sometimes wonder if this is actually possible! One can actually shop in the morning, have a spa treatment in the afternoon, a cultural dinner in the evening and party right through the night. Kuala Lumpur has a tropical climate which means a warm and pleasant weather year with occasional rains all the year round. Getting to Kuala Lumpur is easy with almost over 40 international airlines operating to and fro from the city’s new state-of-the-art KL International Airport.
