Simplicity

The Melaka River cruise is not like the overwhelming places where there are too many too complex architectures and machines. The beauty of the place can be absorbed and felt in heart since everything is too natural. Hardly any building crosses the height above three floors. Everything seems so reachable. Don’t miss the trip to river since the distance will no longer be too little once you fly back from Malaysia.

River Side

Once used for trade and travel purposes alone, the Melaka River serves more tourists today than traders. There are only small fences on the river side. This reduces the hurdles and one can feel the connection between the river and life in vicinity. The houses reflect in the river and test your camera skills.

Don’t worry about the boats since you will get one in every thirty minutes.
