Highlights
  • Batu Caves - Batu Caves is a limestone hill featuring a series of caves and cave temples, situated in the Gombak district, 13 kilometers (8 miles) north of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The name is derived from the Sungai Batu or Batu River, which flows by the hill. The nearby village is also named Batu Caves. This site is one of the most renowned Hindu shrines outside India, dedicated to Lord Murugan, and serves as the central point for the Thaipusam festival in Malaysia. Known as the 10th Caves or Hill for Lord Muruga, it is among the ten most significant shrines in India and Malaysia. The Lord Murugan statue at the base of Batu Caves stands as the second tallest Hindu deity statue globally, with an impressive height of 42.7 meters (140 ft.). The limestone forming Batu Caves is estimated to be around 400 million years old.

  • Awana SkyWay, Genting Highlands, Pahang. - Upon arrival, we will pause at the Skyway Cable Car and take a ride on one of Southeast Asia’s longest and fastest gondola lifts to the summit of Genting Highlands. Enjoy a breathtaking experience and stunning natural views of the mountain and forest, akin to observing the forest from the sky.

  • Chin Swee Cave Temple - With the same ticket, you get a complimentary stop at the Chin Swee Station, where you can explore the beautiful Chin Swee Caves Temple and its magnificent surroundings at no extra cost. This Taoist temple is set on a 28-acre plot of rocky forested land in Genting Highlands. It was built in honor of Reverend Master Chin Swee, a Buddhist monk from the Fujian Province known for his ability to summon rain and dispel evil spirits. One of the temple’s most recognized landmarks is a nine-story Pagoda, adorned with images of Buddha and thousands of blessing lamps. Visitors can climb the steps to the top of the pagoda, where they are rewarded with panoramic mountain views. The temple grounds also feature gigantic statues of Buddha and Kuan Yin, along with intricate sculptures of animals and inscriptions of ancient Chinese traditions and beliefs. This temple is visible from the cable car en route to the summit.

  • Genting Highlands Premium Outlets - A sprawling outdoor shopping center featuring numerous well-known outlet stores and a diverse food court. The shopping mall is adjacent to the Awana Skyway Station, where you can enjoy a cable car ride to the top of Genting Highlands. There, you will find several resorts and attractions, including Skycasino, Arena Of Stars Theatre, Skyavenue Mall, and the 20th Century Fox World Malaysia Theme Park.

Definitely worth it - Our driver, Raj, was really friendly and attentive. He communicated properly before arriving and met us at the lobby. His car was clean and the airco worked really well. We visited the batu caves first. He gave us so much information about the surroundings and tips for other days. Then we drove to the cable car station at the genting highlands where we had lunch and spent a few hours. Lasy we drove to the temple. In total we spent about 8 hours with him.
