    This was not a tour trip but a one way drop off trip from KL to Cameron Highlands with Mr Sathesh. Although this was not a tour, Mr Sathesh was very polite courteous and informative . Would recommend.

    Thean Hou Temple: a six-tiered Buddhist temple dedicated to the Goddess of Heaven. Built by Kuala Lumpur’s Hainanese community, it offers a peaceful retreat with panoramic city views from its hilltop location.

    Central Market & Petaling Street: Explore Central Market, a hub for local crafts and unique finds, before heading to Petaling Street, a bustling hotspot for local delicacies and souvenirs.
