About this experience

Let’s take break at the nature by watching fireflies and silver leaf monkeys at kuala selangor.

We’ll head to Bukit Malawati kuala selangor from KL city centre which will take a around 45min-50min drive to watch Silver leaf monkeys, which are more friendly and tame than other monkeys. Believe me, you shouldn’t miss this experience. And also we can spend ample of time here to feed the monkeys and take beautiful pictures.

Right after that, we’ll be heading to get a quick local Chinese style seafood dinner at a fisherman’s village (not included in tour packages).

Next we’ll be heading to the fireflies park. Quietly float out on boat to see the incredible twinkles of the largest fireflies colony in Malaysia. Marvel at the ability of these amazing lightning bugs to synchronize their light patterns before your return to Kuala Lumpur.

You’ll be able to see Eagle Feeding (optional) and blue tears (optional) at firefly park too.

Detailed itinerary

The Temple is built in strict conformance to the prescriptions of sacred Hindu Vedas and Aagamas. For example, the layout of the Temple integrates three concentric corridors which serve to guide devotees in a tranquil procession that culminates in the Main Moolasthanam (sanctum sanctorum).

Amongst its other unique features is a strikingly conceived island which has adopted a rare sculptural technique known as Thundu Pattirippu Pathroba Pathram. This fine and delicate technique is customarily not employed in current temple construction, even in India, due to its high degree of complexity, and, was inspired by the shrine of Sri Subramanyar in the Bragatheeswarar Temple Complex (Peria Kovil) in Tanjore, South India.

Helmed by the iconic Shivasri A. P. Muthukumara Shivachariyaar, a renowned national and regional spiritual and religious Hindu leader, the Sri Shakti Temple is not just another place of worship, but one that will stand as a prominent Hindu landmark in Malaysia.

Stop 2

As a historical place, Bukit Melawati has several remnants from the past that appeal to those interested in its history. A few leftover cannons and foundation stones attract visitors here for their historical values of Bukit Melawati .

The Hill of Melawati is also home to the Silver-Leafed Monkeys and Long-Tailed Macaques. You can purchase peanuts from vendors around the area at Bukit Melawati and feed the monkey. Although the Silver-Leafed Monkey are generally quite gentle, visitors are advised to be cautious with the Long-Tailed Macaques as they can be highly mischevious. Just be careful when feeding them as they are considered wild creatures and can be dangerous when provoked.
