Kuala Lumpur Trip Overview
Not far from the centre of Kuala Lumpur, is the world famous Batu Caves. But before you are taken to the limestone hill that has a series of caves and cave temples you will visit the equally well-known Royal Selangor Pewter factory. Take a tour around the largest factory of its kind in the world, learn about its history and watch a demonstration of some of the many processes involved in creating a pewter product (including casting, filling, polishing and hammering).
Afterwards, a short stop at a Batik Center will simply fascinate. Watch how this Malaysian fabric is designed and printed.
The last part of the tour, of course, is the Batu Caves. Instantly recognized, the limestone outcrop houses a Hindu temple and is visited by thousands of pilgrims and tourists each year. At its entrance is the impressive 140 foot tall golden statue of Hindu God Lord Murugan. Then, take the 272 steps to the main cave temple, watching the cheeky monkeys along the way and the magnificent views.
