Climbing 272 steps leads into a limestone cathedral formed over 400 million years, lined with paintings, statues, and Hindu shrines. Your guide shares the history of the caves and their significance during the festival of Thaipusam. Pickup and dropoff are included from hotels in Kuala Lumpur's Golden Triangle area.

Route

  1. Your guide welcomes you inside the lobby at your booked accommodation in downtown Kuala Lumpur. Located approximately 11 kilometres north of Kuala Lumpur along the Sungai Batu, the comfortable ride leaves the modern city live quickly aside. Before ascending up to the Batu Caves, a stop is included at Malaysian institutions of cultural value. Batik is still found in official dress uniforms, evening and wedding gowns and worn as daily attire by many Malaysians. The cultural value of batik-painted fabric is often overshadowed by its artistic impressions yet is a deeply rooted part of preserved handicraft.

About Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur is de bruisende hoofdstad van Maleisië, waar de Petronas Towers boven Maleise, Chinese en Indiase wijken en beroemd straatvoedsel uitsteken.

De tweelingtorens van de Petronas Towers, verbonden door een skybridge, bepalen de skyline, met een aangelegd park en fonteinen aan hun voet. De KL Tower biedt vanaf zijn beboste heuvel een ander uitzicht, en het Merdekaplein, waar bij de onafhankelijkheid de nationale vlag werd gehesen, wordt omlijst door het Sultan Abdul Samad-gebouw in Moorse stijl.

Top-ranked sights in Kuala Lumpur: National Mosque of Malaysia (Masjid Negara), Thean Hou Temple, Kuala Lumpur Chinatown.
