Highlights
  • Batu Caves - Batu Caves is a an iconic and popular tourist attraction in Selangor.

Site of a Hindu temple and shrine, Batu Caves attracts thousands of worshippers and tourists, especially during the annual Hindu festival, Thaipusam.

A limestone outcrop located just north of Kuala Lumpur, Batu Caves has three main caves featuring temples and Hindu shrines.

Its main attraction is the large statue of the Hindu God at the entrance, besides a steep 272 climb up its steps to finally view the stunning skyline of the city centre.

Monkeys frolic around the caves, and it is a popular spot for rock climbing enthusiasts. Paintings and scenes of Hindu Gods can also be seen in the Ramayana Cave.

  • Royal Selangor Visitor Centre - Founded in 1885, Royal Selangor is the world’s foremost name in quality pewter, a brand synonymous with design and craftsmanship. In the hands of its skilled craftspeople, this versatile alloy of tin, copper and antimony is transformed into an endless variety of homeware and gifts, sold today in more than 20 countries around the world.

The Visitor Centre is located in Setapak Jaya, just 20 minutes from the Kuala Lumpur city centre. A modern glass-clad foyer set within scenic lush landscaping, greets visitors upon arrival at the Visitor Centre along with Royal Selangor’s Giant Tankard. Recognised as the world’s largest by the Guinness World of Records, the giant tankard provides one of many perfect photo opportunities at the Centre.

  • East Coast Batik Sdn Bhd (Batik CHONG) - East Coast Batik (914804-X) (formerly Syarikat East Coast) which established in 1974 is one of the oldest batik and handicrafts centre in Klang Valley. It’s located in the Gombak district which is just a throw stone away from the Batu Caves.

Visit the gallery and you’d learn that batik is not simply a cloth with an elaborate piece of design. Syarika East Coast is the place you need to visit if you are looking forward to enjoy a holistic experience in Malaysian batik and handicrafts.

Personal tour experience - If you don’t feel like taking the bus or being a big group this is an excellent way to get around and see some sights. Honey was my driver and she was fantastic. The Batu Caves is the best part and the other places were fine as well, but I didnt find them as interesting.
