Activity itinerary

Sam Kow Tong Temple
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Start with a short ride on KL’s monorail, offering a glimpse of the city from above as you travel toward the Little India area. Here, step off to explore on foot and visit a small, lesser-known temple hidden among the streets, a reminder of how different cultures coexist closely in the city. Nearby, enjoy a light local breakfast at a traditional kopitiam, a classic Malaysian coffee shop where locals gather for coffee, tea, and simple morning snacks.
Kuala Lumpur Sentral Railway Station
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
Walk on towards the KL central station to catch a train out of the city to the Batu Caves. One of Malaysia’s most important Hindu Temples lies within this impressive cave system where your expert guide will help you understand the religious roots of this diverse nation.
Batu Caves
  • 1h 30m
From here, continue by train to Batu Caves, one of Malaysia’s most important Hindu pilgrimage sites. The walk from the station passes stalls selling flowers, spices, and offerings used for worship. At the base of the staircase stands the towering golden statue of Lord Murugan, the deity to whom Batu Caves is dedicated. Climb the colourful steps into the limestone cave and spend time inside the shrine while your guide explains how the site is used for daily worship.
Bank Negara Malaysia Museum and Art Gallery
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
After the visit, return to the city by train. Along the way, your guide shares stories of Thaipusam, revealing how Batu Caves transforms from a tourist stop into a living, breathing pilgrimage site once a year.
Jalan Masjid India
  • 1h
Back in Kuala Lumpur, arrive in the Jalan Masjid India area. This busy district is shaped by the Muslim Indian community and feels very different from both Little India and Batu Caves. Walk past textile shops and markets before sitting down for lunch. We'll end the tour with a traditional banana leaf rice lunch at a local restaurant. Served on a fresh banana leaf with rice, curries, vegetables, and condiments, this meal is a classic South Indian–Malaysian experience and a satisfying way to finish the morning.
