Mobile ticket

If you’re trying to get the most out of a tight schedule, this day trip from Kuala Lumpur is a great way to experience the sights and sounds of Putrajaya, the seat of the Malaysian government. Instead of making your own way south and losing time looking for places to see, get picked up from your hotel and driven direct to several of Putrajaya’s beautiful Islamic-inspired landmarks, including the Putra Mosque and the Prime Minister’s Office.

Visit Putrajaya’s impressive bridges, spanning the city’s central man-made lake.

Don’t get overwhelmed by the heat in your air-conditioned vehicle.

Before returning to hotel, visit Batu Caves which is 140-foot statue of Hindu deity Lord Murugan, visible from miles away, stands guard outside Batu Caves. This statue is the tallest of a Hindu deity in Malaysia, and the third tallest of its kind in the world, behind only Nepal’s Kailashnath Mahadev Statue and Indonesia’s Garuda Wisnu Kencana Statue.

What To Expect

Batu Caves

Batu Caves is a limestone hill, which has a series of caves and cave temples, located in Gombak district, 13 kilometres (8 miles) north of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It takes its name from the Sungai Batu or Batu River, which flows past the hill. Batu Caves is also the name of the nearby village. Batu Caves is one of the most popular Hindu shrines outside India, dedicated to Lord Murugan. It is the focal point of Hindu festival of Thaipusam in Malaysia. It is also known as the 10th Caves or Hill for Lord Muruga as it is one of the ten most important shrines in India and Malaysia. The Lord Murugan statue at the foot of Batu Caves is the second tallest Hindu deity statue in the world with a heroic height of 42.7 metres (140 ft.). The limestone forming Batu Caves is said to be around 400 million years old.

Our driver was Shiba, he was very nice and professional. We did not go to the last 3 stops but that may have been on us . We wanted to take the 45 minute cruise and we needed to wait 20 minutes for it. We also took our time at the Batu caves and at the Putrajaya mosque. We never felt rushed and Shiba Also assisted us in taking pictures at the sites. He also took us to the Kings palace which was not on the itinerary and gave us time to take pictures and admire the palace and surroundings. This is not a guided tour and it clearly states it on “what’s included “ before you purchase the ticket . You are purchasing a ticket for a private driver to pick you up at the hotel take you to the sites in an air conditioned car and drop you off at the hotel . If you get an in depth tour take it as a bonus but don’t hold it against your driver if he/she doesn’t as he or she is not a tour guide . I also noted complains about the pigeons , the monkeys, and the lack of cleanliness of the Batu caves. I highly recommend going at 7:00 am as there are very few monkeys at that time , less pigeons , and less people . I saw someone trying to sweep the trash on the steps (so there is effort to keep it clean) so I guess the people trashing the place are responsible for the lack of cleanliness . I recommend the Batu Caves because it is a unique experience while in Malaysia I will not compare it to other countries. I enjoyed this tour for what it was a nice professional driver taking me to sites I wanted to see not be rushed and best of all in an air conditioned car .
