Highlights
  • Batu Caves - Batu Caves is a limestone hill featuring a series of caves and cave temples, situated in the Gombak district, 13 kilometers (8 miles) north of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The name is derived from the Sungai Batu or Batu River, which flows by the hill. The nearby village is also named Batu Caves. This site is one of the most renowned Hindu shrines outside India, dedicated to Lord Murugan, and serves as the central point for the Thaipusam festival in Malaysia. Known as the 10th Caves or Hill for Lord Muruga, it is among the ten most significant shrines in India and Malaysia. The Lord Murugan statue at the base of Batu Caves stands as the second tallest Hindu deity statue globally, with an impressive height of 42.7 meters (140 ft.). The limestone forming Batu Caves is estimated to be around 400 million years old.

  • Awana SkyWay, Genting Highlands, Pahang. - Upon arrival, we will pause at the Skyway Cable Car and take a ride on one of Southeast Asia’s longest and fastest gondola lifts to the summit of Genting Highlands. Enjoy a breathtaking experience and stunning natural views of the mountain and forest, akin to observing the forest from the sky.

  • Chin Swee Cave Temple - With the same ticket, you get a complimentary stop at the Chin Swee Station, where you can explore the beautiful Chin Swee Caves Temple and its magnificent surroundings at no extra cost. This Taoist temple is set on a 28-acre plot of rocky forested land in Genting Highlands. It was built in honor of Reverend Master Chin Swee, a Buddhist monk from the Fujian Province known for his ability to summon rain and dispel evil spirits. One of the temple’s most recognized landmarks is a nine-story Pagoda, adorned with images of Buddha and thousands of blessing lamps. Visitors can climb the steps to the top of the pagoda, where they are rewarded with panoramic mountain views. The temple grounds also feature gigantic statues of Buddha and Kuan Yin, along with intricate sculptures of animals and inscriptions of ancient Chinese traditions and beliefs. This temple is visible from the cable car en route to the summit.

  • Genting Highlands Premium Outlets - A sprawling outdoor shopping center featuring numerous well-known outlet stores and a diverse food court. The shopping mall is adjacent to the Awana Skyway Station, where you can enjoy a cable car ride to the top of Genting Highlands. There, you will find several resorts and attractions, including Skycasino, Arena Of Stars Theatre, Skyavenue Mall, and the 20th Century Fox World Malaysia Theme Park.

  • First World Plaza - First World Plaza is a shopping mall at Genting Resort that connects to SkyAvenue at the peak of Genting. The complex houses several tourist attractions, including Skytropolis Funland, Snow World, and Senikome Peng Heng. For shopping, there are over 30 retail outlets, along with restaurants and cafes to explore. The mall is open daily from 10am to 10pm.

Great half day tour - We booked this tour at the last minute the night before and were able to choose a departure time that worked for us in the early afternoon. Our driver Visnu was great and has a big comfy car, he sent a WhatsApp message before he arrived and picked us up from our hotel on time. We headed to the Batu caves first, didn’t spend too much time there as we weren’t allowed up the steps as we were wearing shorts (our fault for not checking before). Next we headed to Genting Highlands, Visnu had our tickets ready for the gondola ride and we had 3 hours to ourselves to explore the massive place, we were WOWed! Great half day trip for anyone in KL for the first time.

BatuCave & Awana SkyCable Experience - I love the adventures of Awana skycable. 1 cable car can accomodate 10pax and we are only 6pax, additional passengers were boarded. Since it's raining and the fog is thick, I can hear the sounds of the wind. It's a two-way ride. The first ride we got off Resortworld mall and casino which has many activities for children and teens as well as the young at hearts. We stayed for 1hour and took the ride down again. We are free to get-off on the Chin Wee temple, but since it's raining we opt to stay and continue the cable ride down. Batu cave experience is nice having to climb 250+ stairs. We also went to Batik, where we get to see how a handpaintes fabric is done and the kids got to experience hand painting as well. As this is a private tour, we get to have our own time to manage everywhere we go.
