- Batu Caves - Batu Caves is a an iconic and popular tourist attraction in Selangor.\n\nSite of a Hindu temple and shrine, Batu Caves attracts thousands of worshippers and tourists, especially during the annual Hindu festival, Thaipusam.\n\nA limestone outcrop located just north of Kuala Lumpur, Batu Caves has three main caves featuring temples and Hindu shrines.\n\nIts main attraction is the large statue of the Hindu God at the entrance, besides a steep 272 climb up its steps to finally view the stunning skyline of the city centre.\n\nMonkeys frolic around the caves, and it is a popular spot for rock climbing enthusiasts. Paintings and scenes of Hindu Gods can also be seen in the Ramayana Cave.\n\n- Royal Selangor Visitor Centre - Founded in 1885, Royal Selangor is the world’s foremost name in quality pewter, a brand synonymous with design and craftsmanship.

A modern glass-clad foyer set within scenic lush landscaping, greets visitors upon arrival at the Visitor Centre along with Royal Selangor’s Giant Tankard.
