What to expect
You'll start your journey towards Batu Caves, passing through Little India and the Brickfields neighborhood, known for its colorful streets and unique shops. After a 30-minute scenic drive, you'll arrive at the Batu Caves to discover the home of Hindu shrines and various religious deities. The guide will explain the Hindu roots of the nation. Then you'll climb the 272 steps to the golden statue of Lord Murugan, and go to Cathedral Cave to see the largest cave in the complex.
Then you'll drive to Thean Hou Temple, a 6-tiered pagoda temple atop Robson Heights. Completed in 1987 and officially opened in 1989, it was built by the Hainanese community of Kuala Lumpur and is dedicated to the goddess Tian Hou (The Heavenly Mother). Continue to China Town to enter the site of dozens of restaurants and food stalls tended by Chinese, Indian, Malay, and Bangladeshi traders. Watch as they serve up local favorites, such as curry noodles, Hokkien mee (a Fujian noodle dish), Ikan Bakar (barbecued fish), and Asam Laksa (a sour, fish and tamarind-based soup).
At the end you'll see the stunning National Mosque of Malaysia (Masjid Negara), set in 13 acres of beautiful gardens. Admire the bold approach designed in the late 1950s as a symbol of the aspirations of the newly independent nation.
