About this day tour

This half-day tour covers three of Kuala Lumpur's most striking religious landmarks, each from a different faith and architectural tradition. It's a compact way to see the cultural and religious diversity that shapes the city, without needing a full day. Start at Batu Caves, a limestone hill north of the city that has been a Hindu shrine since the 1890s — home to the 42.7m golden statue of Lord Murugan and the 272 steps leading up to the main cave temple. From there, head to Thean Hou Temple, a six-tiered Chinese temple perched on Robson Heights with sweeping views over the city, before finishing at Masjid Negara, the National Mosque, whose 73m star-shaped roof and blue-tiled dome have symbolised independent Malaysia since 1965.
