Just 40 minutes from Kuala
Lumpur, this Batu Caves day trip takes in some of the most famous sanctuaries
in Malaysia in one must visit excursion.
Having picked you up at your
hotel in Kuala Lumpur, we begin our day trip heading to a pewter workshop. This
material, made of copper, tin and lead, is a flexible material by which
craftsmen for hundreds of years have used to make products limited only by the
human imagination. You can, for example, see the largest pewter beer jug in the
world.
Then, having visited the
workshop, we continue our route, taking in one of the most spectacular sights
in all Malaysia, the Batu Caves. High on a sacred hill sit this series of
grottoes and galleries: the most famous Hindu sanctuary outside India.
To reach the interior of the
caves, you'll have to climb 272 steps: but this effort is worth it, with the
caves themselves lined with sculptures of Hindu gods and goddesses, each one
stunning in its careful ornamentation.
Then, as we descend again
we'll learn about the story of the great Murugan golden statue. This colossal
sculpture of the god of war and victory, 42 metres high, bears a miraculous
story, constructed as it was upon hilly terrain. A marvel in itself!
Then, with the guided tour of the Batu Caves over, the tour returns to
Kuala Lumpur
