Despite rapid development, Kuala Lumpur has managed to retain her charm, with a skyline that blends the Old World with the New. See the contrast of the distinctive Indo-Moorish architecture and the ultra modern edifices, the Petronas Twin Towers - tallest in the world. Drive past the elegant Jamek Mosque, which occupies the symbolic birthplace of Kuala Lumpur and the bustling Chinatown before a photo stop at the majestic Royal Palace.
Continue journey to the National Museum where historical Malaysian artifacts & replicas among others are on display. Later take a stroll at the beautiful Lake Gardens located within the vicinity of National Monument. The final stop is the Craft Cultural Complex where you may chance upon local artists at work and see demonstration of fine jewelry-making at OE Design located within the same premises. Buffet lunch at local restaurant.
After lunch, drive through the Ambassadors’ Row along Kuala Lumpur’s historic Ampang Road, view Malaysian suburban homes as well as rural lifestyle. Proceed to Gombak to see the art of Batik designing. On the way, you will pass by typical Malay houses. The last stop is the spectacular Batu Caves. This massive limestone outcrop and its cavernous interior is home to Hindu deities and one will need to climb its 272 steps to fully appreciate the caves.
