Your tour will begin with a drive along Ambassadors' Row in Ampang, where you can view typical Malaysian suburban homes and also get a flavour for the rustic rural areas. Your journey brings your to the internationally renowned Royal Selangor Pewter factory. One of the icons of Malaysia and the largest factory of its type, here witness the fine art of pewter crafting. Next proceed to Gombak and see first hand the art of Batik designing before continuing to the highlight of the tour, the magnificent Batu Caves.  

Rising almost 100m above the ground and reached by 272 steps, the Batu Caves actually consists of three main caves and a few smaller ones. The biggest, referred to as the Temple or Cathedral Cave, has a 100 metre high ceiling, and features ornate Hindu shrines. Below the Temple Cave is the Dark Cave, a two-kilometre network of relatively untouched caverns with amazing rock formations. Stalactites jutting from the cave's ceiling and stalagmites rising from the floor form intricate formations such as cave curtains, flow stones, cave pearls and scallops which took thousands of years to form. The third main cave is the Art Gallery Cave located at the foot of the steps. Statues and wall paintings depicting Hindu deities and mythology are displayed here. The walk to the entrance is itself quite a pleasant experience past lakes and ponds filled with hundreds of colourful fish.
