Batu Caves - A Majestic Gift from Mother Nature

One of my favourite places in Malaysia is Batu Caves. It is one of the most important Hindu pilgrimage destination in Malaysia sorted out by thousands of Indians and others every year during Thaipusam festival in the month of January. Batu Caves is connected by KTM Komuter service from KL Central and easily accessible by road via self-driving, taxis or simply riding in RAPIDKL bus service from city centre.

The main attraction of this 400 million years old limestone outcrop is the world largest statue of the Lord Muruga at the entrance, besides a steep 272 climb up its steps to finally view the stunning skyline of the city centre.

And I need to say thank you to Daly and Syers as well as American Naturalist, William Hornaday in 1878 who made this limestone cave famous which earlier used by Chinese settler just to excavate guano as fertilizer. I also could not forget our own K. Thamboosamy Pillai, an Indian trader who was inspired by the 'vel'-shaped entrance of the main cave and dedicated a temple to Lord Murugan within the caves.

Kenyir Lake - A Hidden Gem

Kenyir Lake or also known as 'The Thousand Islands Lake of Malaysia' is one of the most magnificent tourist sports in Terengganu as well as in Malaysia. Kenyir luxurious forest is located in the district of Hulu Terengganu, Terengganu. It is believed that the rain forest is the world oldest tropical rainforest. The forest also serves as a part of Malaysia National Park.


It has everything to offer to those who loves nature and peaceful vacation. You can either go fishing, jungle trekking, explore limestone caves, or just chill with a cup of coffee at the wonderful boathouses enjoying the panaromic view of the mother nature. It is the best getaway from city's hustle and bustle.
