Really good value for money trip. Saves a lot of faff and sweatiness sorting yourself, especially with hotel pick up. Guide was excellent, his info and explanations of history were an added bonus. Just enough time to see Batu caves for us. Also a quick trip to the Batik factory on way back was a plus. Can’t beat the price for what you get.

Full description

Stop at Batik Workshop & showroom to see how batik is designed and printed.

Next, head to the iconic limestone hills of Batu Caves, where your professional guide will provide insightful commentary before you explore the site independently. The complex features three main caverns and several smaller caves, each steeped in spiritual and cultural significance.

As you ascend the 272 steps, pass the towering 43-meter (140-foot) golden statue of Lord Murugan, the tallest of its kind in the world. Inside, discover a sacred cave shrine adorned with vivid murals and statues that bring Hindu scripture to life. Keep an eye out for the playful macaques that inhabit the lush cliffside surroundings.

The tour guide was very informative about the history of the batu caves and Malaysia itself! The batu caves were stunning and the artwork of the batik craft was beautiful. Thanks Krishna and Johnson for a great time!
