15 kimometres north of Kuala Lumpur, the Batu Caves are an absolute must-see, not just for the beautiful temple and cave, but also for all the monkeys that live there.

My suggestion

Be ready for a bit of exercise because you have to climb 272 steps to get to the cave. And watch out for the monkeys who like to steal things! Go there early in the morning, before the tourists arrive.

The Batu Caves are the largest Hindu centre in Malaysia.

My suggestion

Any one can enter the biggest of the Batu Caves , the only thing is you must keep your knees and shoulders covered. It is best to bring along a large shawl, if not, someone at the entrance has some available for hire.

Located on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, Batu Caves shelter little cave-dwelling temples and a huge statue of the God Murugan.

My suggestion

Come and visit Batu Caves during Thaipusam and attend the biggest Hindu gathering of the country.

In search of the west coast islands

The western coast islands, less popular than the those on the oriental coast, will delight the visitors who venture there. Easily accessible from Kuala Lumpur, they present a diversity of landscapes and auras as well as a rich cultural heritage.

Tasik Chini legends

Malaysia is a surprising country in every way. And the cluster of lakes linked to one another that go by the name of Tasik Chini will definitely live up to expectations! If this is not the case, then maybe the lake's monster will leave you speechless; rumour has it that it haunts the depths!
