Private Tour: Batu Caves and Temple Afternoon Tour from Kuala Lumpur

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Visit the spectacular Batu Caves - one of the most sacred places for Hindu's in Malaysia on this private tour from Kuala Lumpur.

See Malaysia's multi-racial and multi-religion influence as you visit several places of worship featuring elements of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. Visit the Thean Hou Chinese Temple, a striking 6-tier temple before coming to the highlight of the tour, the spectacular Batu Caves. This massive limestone outcrop and its cavernous interior is home to Hindu deities. Friendly monkeys like hanging around the stairs and temple of Batu Caves. Make the journey up the 272 steps to fully appreciate this Hindu temple.

The first cave temple was established in 1891, and wooden steps up to the Temple Cave were built in 1920. Of the various cave temples that comprise the site, the largest and best known is the Temple or Cathedral Cave, so named because it houses several Hindu shrines beneath its 100m vaulted ceiling.

Continue to Gombak and see the art of handmade Batik silk designing. The Batu Caves and Temple Tour concludes with a demonstration of fine jewerelly making by OE Design.

though a profeesional guide was promised, no guide was given. we were merely driven from site to site and left to fend for ourselves.

I expected more from this experience. Save your money and just get a taxi to the caves. This was not a private tour. Our guide dropped us off at the base of the caves and said to meet back at the car in an hour. That is not a private tour. Once we climbed the 270 odd steps to the entrance, we were surrounded from the front to the back of the caves with rubbish everywhere. If this is supposed to be a temple people worship in, then why do they trash it? Absolutely disgusting.

Our guide turned up exactly on time. He was a really lovely man and very friendly. Our trip was everything I expected. The caves are amazing and definitely worth the trip. Would definitely recommend the trip and your company to others.
