KL Country Tour – Genting

The Country Tour brings you to Malaysia’s outer rim of the city center where you’ll catch some religious and scenic view of the highlands.

Batu Caves

The Batu Caves are the sacred place for the Hindu’s in Malaysia. They were discovered and installed as a temple in the year 1892 by a man called Thamboosamy Pillai, he was inspired by the ‘Vel’-shaped entrance of the main cave and was inspired to dedicate a temple to Lord Muruga within the caves. To reach it, visitors have to climb a steep flight of 272 steps. Since 1892, the Thaipusam festival in the Tamil month of Thai (which falls in late January/early February) has been celebrated there.
