River of Fireflies, Friendly Silver Leaf Monkeys and Sacred Bat Caves

What to Expect

Departure from Kuala Lumpur at 4:00 pm. Just 15 km from the city are the Batu Caves. We will have an hour to walk around them and enjoy the unearthly views. We will also climb the 272 steps to the main temple of the son of Shiva – the god Murugan. At the foot of the stairs, you will be greeted by a 43-meter gilded statue of this deity.

Around 5:00 pm, we head to the neighboring Malaysian state - Selangor. The road passes through picturesque palm and rubber plantations and rural landscapes. You will see how the Malaysian province lives. On the way, which is about an hour's drive, I will tell you about the culture and traditions of the Malays, how they live and what they are passionate about.

Our next stop is at Bukit Melawati Hill in Kuala Selangor. Here, friendly silver leaf monkeys have settled near a fort destroyed by the English. By buying food, you can put them on your shoulders and feed them by hand.

We head to the mangrove swamps on the Selangor River, 10 km from the hill, to the village of Kampung Kuantan. It is here that the largest colony of synchronously blinking fireflies lives. To admire this unique sight, we will sail on a boat along the river (30 minutes, not included in the tour price).

We return to the capital of Malaysia. I will drop you off at the hotel around 10:00 pm.

• The excursion takes place in a comfortable car. If you are more than 3 people, I will arrange a minibus for an additional fee.
• I will pick you up from the hotel and drop you off after the tour. Airport transfers are not included in the price and are paid separately.
• For visiting the cave temple, women are asked to wear knee-covering clothes. Alternatively, you can buy a shawl at the ticket counter for 15 ringgit.
