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;
