Colorful Malaysia 🇲🇾 🌈 After breakfast, head to Kuala Lumpur. Visit the Putra Mosque in Putrajaya, change into traditional Muslim robes for a tour and photo session. ☀ On the way to Kuala Lumpur, visit Malaysia's Hindu holy site, the spiritually rich Batu Caves. Walk on the natural limestone path and explore the features of Malay culture and Hindu temples. 🔥 Return to Kuala Lumpur and visit the political center of the country, Independence Square. Visit the landmark of Kuala Lumpur: the Petronas Twin Towers. It is not only the tallest twin building in the world but also represents Kuala Lumpur's significance in the global economy of the 21st century.

If you have a passion for colors, the Batu Caves are not to be missed! The rainbow stairs here are far more attractive to people than the Batu Caves themselves, drawing crowds of tourists every day. Honestly, if you love colors, the Batu Caves are undoubtedly a must-visit! After all, these caves are located on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, and most of the existing guides simply direct you to take a taxi there. I also spent 17 Malaysian Ringgit to get there by Grab taxi. However, when I was ready to take a taxi back, I unexpectedly discovered that there is an LRT train station here. You can easily commute by taking the KTM Seremban line light rail train (line 1 on the rail map), which is not only affordable but also avoids the hassle of traffic jams in the city. Here is the specific travel plan for everyone: 🚆 At the departure hall of KL Sentral station, buy a ticket at the KTM Komuter area through the self-service machine, or at the ticket window, with Batu Caves (Batu Caves) as the destination, which costs 2.6 Malaysian Ringgit. 🚞 After buying the ticket, scan the QR code on the ticket to enter the station, then follow the signs to platform 5 to wait for the train. This platform is dedicated to going to Batu Caves. 🛤 Take the train for 8 stops and arrive at the terminal station Batu Caves. After exiting the station, just follow the crowd, and you will reach the entrance about 300 meters away. ❤️ Warm tips: Seats on the LRT are not assigned, so feel free to sit anywhere. The carriages are relatively cool and clean. The train departure intervals vary between 30 to 60 minutes depending on the time of day, and you can check the departure times on Google Maps in advance. The front of the train is the ladies' carriage, so gentlemen, make sure you don't get on the wrong train. The train passes through Kuala Lumpur station, where you can also board. 💚 Special tips: Ladies must wear knee-length pants or long skirts, otherwise, you will have to buy a scarf on the spot for 15 Malaysian Ringgit. Don't tease the monkeys when climbing the stairs, and keep an eye on your bags.

📍Jalan Bukit Rawang, Taman Bukit Rawang Jaya, 48000 Rawang, Selangor 🚄 Rawang Town retains large tracts of virgin forest. The woods here are lush and green everywhere. It is a town with good greening. 🕐 To go to Rawang, you can choose to take the KTM train or ETS electric train to Rawang Station. Since I wanted to arrive at the Rawang Hiking Trail at sunset to enjoy the sunset, I chose the 5:08 pm departure from Sungai Bulok. Arrive at the station in about ten minutes. Slowly walking along the hiking trail, you will pass through the town of Rawang, and then walk through a tree path with century-old woods on both sides. After about 30 minutes, you can start to climb Mount Rawang to enjoy the beautiful sunset. IG: meditation_me_time #rawang #sungaibuloh #ktm #ets #bukitkuari #bukitrawang # Metro #rawang

The biggest highlight of the wind tunnel is the majestic golden statue in front of the cave - this statue is the son of Shiva and the snow mountain goddess, Shiva's son Shubhakriti, and Tamils like to call him Mulugan. It is a huge golden statue, about 140 feet high, with a magnificent momentum that is amazing! There is also the rainbow ladder here, which has become a popular check-in point for newcomers on the internet! Climb up the 272 steps to the rainbow platform leading to the mountain.

the Kanching waterfall is a short drive north out of Kuala Lumpur, and a must visit for a day trip! it has seven levels and is a relatively simple climb for those with a good level of fitness. it will take around 40 minutes to get to the top. There are lots of different pools to stop at for rest and photos. Be aware of the cheeky monkeys that will try and take your belongings! #2023travelwish #tripblazers #infinitypool #mountainview

It was a great experience bringing my entire family (my parents and toddler) here. Such a huge farm that you have to take the train and tractor to move around. So many nice spots to take pictures as well. They even have lots of farm animals such as goats, cows, rabbits and fish. Was worth the travel to that place. Do being your kids for an awesome experience ❤️ #kidsplayground #kidsactivity

The Kanching Eco Forest Park (Taman Eko Rimba Kanching) is located at Rawang and is about 21 km away from Kuala Lumpur. If you are looking for a few hours off your regular routine, head for this tropical rain forest and spend one to three hours here. This forest is a popular spot for a picnic during the weekends. It has seven waterfalls and pools have been built to contain the clean water that falls down from the hills. Renowned for its seven tiers of waterfalls, Kanching Eco Forest Park is a park with the most waterfalls in Selangor. You will discover that this forest reserve is like a carnival of waterfalls with varying heights and landscapes where you can choose to take a refreshing dip in the crystal clear water of Kanching River. Some waterfalls are small but powerful; some gentle and graceful; some plummeting; and some cascading majestically. They are a feast for the senses. With so many waterfalls to choose from, finding the perfect spot to revel in its beauty may not be an easy decision to make.

#favouriteitinerary Celebrating my friend’s birthday at Fariha Waterfall Kemensah, Selangor was a refreshing and joyful experience! It was about 20 minutes for KL Coty Centre. Surrounded by lush greenery and the soothing sound of the waterfall, we enjoyed a potluck feast with a variety of home-cooked meals, grilled meats, and local treats. After singing and cutting the birthday brownies cake, we cooled off in the clear water, floating and chatting. The day was filled with laughter, great food, and unforgettable memories in nature. #naturalwonders #myitinerary #thingstodo

#favouriteitinerary Situated the heart of the city at Kampung Kemensah, Hulu Kelang, Kuala Lumpur. ATV Adventure Park, the largest of its kind in Malaysia, offer various jungle trails for outdoor enthusiasts and all-terrain riders. There are three packages offered and I took the most challenging adventure. It was a 3hour off-road ride to Bukit Tabur - Dam - Sungai Liza - Dataran Mas - Bukit Lalang. This ultimate journey required physical efforts and teamwork as I manoeuvred through the steep hill, rough terrain, muddy holes and river trails. Truly an amazing outdoor adventure experience and I survived.

One of most amazing experience to watch and mesmerise the spiritualness of Lord Murugan, also there are several caves, but the main one, called Cathedral Cave or Temple Cave, is at the top of a colorful 272-step staircase flanked by monkeys that try to steal from you. The Dark Cave, which is located halfway up the staircase, you will have to pay MYR 35 ($9) for the 45-min educational tour, or MYR 160 ($40) for the 3-hour adventure tour. Both options are great, but if you go for the second one, get ready to climb, slide, crawl, and get dirty, exploring the wilder section of the cave. #travel #batucaves

Our recent trip to this dam was an unforgettable experience. The sheer scale of the dam itself was awe-inspiring, but the real highlight was the breathtaking scenery. The crystal-clear lake mirrored the majestic mountains that surrounded it, creating a picture-perfect panorama. We enjoyed a leisurely boat ride on the lake, soaking in the tranquility and marveling at the natural beauty. The dam offered a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, providing a serene and rejuvenating experience.

Nice

#outdooradventure#atv#nature#kl The ATV Adventure Park Kuala Lumpur is a popular outdoor adventure park situated in the outskirt of Kuala Lumpur. This park has 3 routes which are offroad rides in the forest, with many uphills, downhills and obstacles. For the thrill-seekers and nature lovers out there, this is absolutely a perfect place! Planning this trip with friends quite a time, finally we went to this park on last weekend. We had taken the Package C which is RM150 per pax and time duration is 1.5 - 2 hrs, we all really prepare for an adventure that’s equally as exciting as it's unpredictable journey. The routes are pretty tough and challenging, but just enough to examinated our fitness levels. Our guide was super helpful and always around when our ATV's wheels had stucked into the mud. The hightlight of the journey was bathing at a little but beautiful waterfall along the route. ⏩ Overall rated: 4.9/5. Absolutely an amazingly thrilling and funfull experience! 📍ATV Adventure, Kampung Kemensah, 68000, Selangor.

I recently stopped by Mixue, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite spots for tea, boba, ice cream, and more! One of the standout perks at Mixue is the unbeatable value—the prices are incredibly affordable compared to other beverage outlets, making it perfect for indulging without breaking the bank. What I really appreciate about Mixue is their customizable sugar levels. Whether you’re watching your sugar intake or just prefer a less-sweet taste, you can select your preferred sugar level—from 0 sugar to extra sweet! It’s a great option if you’re looking for a more health-conscious treat. The cafe itself has a super cozy, inviting ambiance, decorated with the charming Mixue mascot that adds a touch of cuteness to the space. The seating is comfortable, and the interior is refreshingly cool, making it the perfect escape from the heat. Not to mention, the staff are always welcoming and helpful, which makes every visit even more enjoyable. If you’re a tea or boba lover on a budget, I highly recommend checking out Mixue! #100WaysofTravel #localguides #deliciousfood #mixue #mixuemalaysia #bubbletea #icecream #affordable

❤Recommended because: The rainbow stairs of Batu Caves in Kuala Lumpur are far more attractive than the caves themselves, attracting large numbers of tourists every day. I just want to say, if you love color, you must visit Batu Caves!! 🌈Batu Caves is a Hindu pilgrimage site. The most distinctive feature of Indian temples is their colorful murals. The temple is dedicated to the Hindu god of war, Murugan, and a 42-meter-tall statue of Murugan stands at the entrance. 🌈Further up are the 272 colorful steps leading to the cave. (They are painted in 11 colors for the dedication ceremony held every 12 years). 🌈Inside the cave, you can see limestone, stalactites, stalagmites, and sinkholes formed 400 million years ago. All are worth seeing. The temple is full of Hindu gods for people to worship. During Thaipusam, thousands of believers gather here. 🎫Admission: Free 🈺️Opening hours: Closed on Mondays/Tuesday to Friday 10:00-17:00/Saturday to Sunday 10:30-17:30 📍Batu Caves: Batu Caves:Gombak, 68100 Batu Caves, Selangor, Malaysia 🚗Transportation: Take the KTM Seremban Line light rail train (Line 1 on the track map) for easy access
