Your tour begins with pickup from your hotel lobby at your chosen time slot 9 am or 2 pm. Relax on the short drive to your first destination which is Batu Caves. These limestone caves are 400 million years old. It is not just about the 272 steps and the Hindu temples at Temple Cave, it is also a Dark Cave where visitors can explore the fascinating cave ecosystem. The world’s tallest Lord Muruga Statue with the height of 42.7m (130 feet high) is located here.   Second destination is, Selayang Hot Spring or local name "Kolam Air Panas". It is a very popular place among local. It is believed that the mineral content of the hot spring helps in the healing process. There are four pools in total. Each with a different degree of heat. Three of them are big and one tiny shallow spring with diameter as small as a small well. It is a perfect time filler on a sunny day!

Amazing Experience

We had a wonderful time. Ayyanar was amazing- very knowledgeable, patient and friendly beyond belief. I sent the tour link to my parents straight away and told them to request Ayyanar for their tour also. Thank you, Ayynar, for a great afternoon!

Batu Caves and waterfalls

Had a great tour with Sathia yesterday. She was a wealth of knowledge about the Caves and KL in general. We would recommend a tour with her for anyone.

My colleagues and I had a short afternoon to explore before our flights, so I booked a half-day tour through Viator. The experience was seamless from the start, with prompt, attentive communication. Our driver, Sathia, was fantastic—flexible, fun, and more like a friend than a guide. She adapted easily to our limited time and shifting attention, offering great options, keeping us informed, and gently keeping us on track. She shared local history and took us to a Batik studio, a true highlight. We felt well-guided, never rushed. Highly recommend for a warm, personalized, and memorable Kuala Lumpur experience.

Interesting and fun trip to Batu caves and waterfalls

We had a great trip. Lawrence was really knowledgable and interesting and explained the history behind Batu caves and the culture and celebrations linked to them. We then had a fun dip in the waterfalls and got to explore around the falls.
