If you’re trying to get the most out of a tight schedule, this day trip from Kuala Lumpur is a great way to experience the sights and sounds of Putrajaya, the seat of the Malaysian government. Instead of making your own way south and losing time looking for places to see, get picked up from your hotel and driven direct to several of Putrajaya’s beautiful Islamic-inspired landmarks, including the Putra Mosque and the Prime Minister’s Office. Visit Putrajaya’s impressive bridges, spanning the city’s central man-made lake. Don’t get overwhelmed by the heat in your air-conditioned vehicle. Before returning to hotel, visit Batu Caves which is 140-foot statue of Hindu deity Lord Murugan, visible from miles away, stands guard outside Batu Caves. This statue is the tallest of a Hindu deity in Malaysia, and the third tallest of its kind in the world, behind only Nepal’s Kailashnath Mahadev Statue and Indonesia’s Garuda Wisnu Kencana Statue.
