Things to Do in and around Kuala Lumpur

Not in order of preference. The highlighted ones in green are specially organized by Christina & Michael for our guests.

1) Night Bazaar (Pasar Malam) - This open market is a traveling group of vendors who set up temporary stalls in different locations everyday of the week. We recommend the Old Klang Road and SS2 (Petaling Jaya) markets. Here you will find an interesting selection local dishes. These markets are not usually frequented by tourists. Prices here are already quiet reasonable and little bargaining is required. Going there usually takes longer as you go with the after work rush;
  
2) Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary – Includes Batu Caves, Selangor Pewter Factory, Deer Park. You will be able to feed, play, ride and swim with the elephants. We can help organize your trip either on your own or with other guests. Leave at about 8.30am and return at 5.30pm;

3) Fireflies Tour – Includes Malaysia Orchid farm (largest in Selangor), Eagle feeding / Bukit Malawati / Dutch Fortress to play with  Silver Leaf monkeys, Seafood dinner by the riverside in Pasir Penampang, Kuala Selangor while watching the sunset and then taking a boat ride out to see fire flies. It's from 3pm to 10.30pm. This one is very interesting. We would highly recommend this;
  
4) Wet market tour – We organize walks to the largest market in the city. Eat a variety of local delicacies introduced by Christina. Visit a traditional Chinese medical hall and watch the Sinseh dispense herbal medicine. This is an off  the track place where few tourists would get to go. 8.30am to 12 noon;
  
5) Cameron Highlands - Visit the tea plantations and have English Tea and scones. Flower and vegetable farms dot the highlands. Possible to do a day tour but rather tiring. Recommend that you stay at least one night there either in Brinchang or Tanah Rata and relax in 20 degree Celsius weather. Lots of interesting walking trails for the adventurous;

LOCATION & DISTANCE MAP


12 May 2009

Monkeying around on Bukit Malawati. Friendly Silver Leaf monkeys
are the darlings of the hilltop.






Malawati Hill is located about a 1 1/2 hour drive from Kuala Lumpur. This is a popular tourist stop on the way to see the fireflies of Kuala Selangor. A typical journey starts from about 2pm and ends at about 11pm. Traveling westward to the Straits of Malacca one will experience the old country roads and the small towns by the way. The route would also take you past rubber and oil palm plantations which typifies the legacy of the British colonial administration in Malaya.
The tour will also take you to Pasir Penampang for the delicious and fresh seafood served while you overlook the river.

Arriving at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA)Prices shown below are approximate. Fares after midnight usually carries a surcharge.

Option 1 Airport Taxi KLIA Telephone No. (+603)87873030
Buy a taxi coupon just before exiting the arrival hall. Prices are fixed for each destination.
Let them know that Sarang Galloway is at No.6 Jalan Galloway which is right at the back of Swiss Garden Hotel on Jalan Pudu. If you need assistance please call Michael at +6012-3335666.
Budget Taxi - RM75    After Midnight Additional Surcharge - 50%
Premier Taxi - RM110 & above

Important - Rates are approximate and can change without prior notice.
The journey will take any where between 45 mins to 1 hour depending on traffic.

Option 2 KLIA Express Train (ERL)
Operates from 5 am -1 am 7 days and departs every 15 minutes.
There are two rail links. Take the one which is the express and non-stop from KLIA to KL Sentral. The other which has about 5 stops along the way and takes about 10 mins longer.

This is the fastest way to the city but not necessarily the fastest to your final destination. Great for those staying at The KL Hilton or the Le Meridien though.

At KLIA airport when you exit from the arrival hall look for the KLIA Express sign in purple then proceed to take the lift to the ground floor. The fare is RM35 per adult and RM15 per child and the journey will take 28 mins to KL Sentral Station. 28 minutes is a very auspicious number for the Chinese. It means to prosper easily. You too may prosper when you take this ERL.
When traveling during the day you would get excellent views of he Malaysian countryside and as you are coming into the city you will pass by the backstreets of the outskirts, places that you would probably not have a chance to visit during your visit.

Arriving at Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT)
Option 1
Take a bus to KL Sentral Station for RM 8 / 9 per person. Any bus will do. They will leave when the bus is full. It departs every half hour from 7 am to 1.15 am although schedules can change without notice.
Be watchful of your luggage left in the storage compartment situated below the bus. I suggest you choose a seat on the side where they load and unload the luggages to make sure nobody takes yours by 'mistake'.
Counters for buses and taxis are located at the arrival hall or at the Starbucks end of the terminal.
Option 2
Take the airport taxi. The rates are listed and you don't have to haggle with the drivers over prices. Most of the taxis are of the national car - 1500 cc Proton Saga.

Budget Taxi - RM75 to Sarang Galloway. Takes up to 4 persons (3 comfortably) with min luggage.
Premier Taxi - RM110 & above (approx) This offers more legroom and a better ride.
Important: Rates are approximate. Prices are subject to change without prior notice.

Tell the driver that Sarang Galloway is at the back of the Swiss Garden Hotel on Jalan Pudu. If you need assistance please call Michael at +6012-3335666 / Christina +6012-2100218


Option 3
Book a van at the taxi counter. This is good if you have a large group. It costs
RM150 & above with a surcharge after midnight.
Tel: (+603) 87874113
Important: Rates are approximate. Prices are subject to change without prior notice.

Arriving at Puduraya Bus Terminal
Renovation at Puduraya is completed. It is now called Pudu Sentral to reflect the upgrade.
Most locals however still use the old name Puduraya.

If you are coming into Puduraya you may ask the bus driver to stop you directly in front of the Swiss Garden Hotel. From there it is a short walk of about 100 meters to our guest houses.
