Upon arrival in Batam, your guide will escort you through the Indonesian customs. After clearing customs, relax into the leather seats of your private, air-conditioned vehicle and enjoy a 20-minute drive to Pura Agung Amerta Buana temple.

Established in 1999, Pura Agung Amerta Buana is a Hindu temple adopting a mixture of classical and modern Balinese architecture.

From a vantage point at Batam Center, you can see the Welcome to Batam monument and Grand Mosque of Batam, which is a piece of modern architecture seemingly ahead of time in this laid-back developing Indonesian town.

The Grand Mosque of Batam is the largest mosque in Batam, it can accommodate 3500 people in the prayer hall, the whole mosque can accommodate 15000 people. It has the highest minaret in Batam which stands at 66 meters.

Next, you will get to make a quick stop at a local bakery to sample and take home famous Indonesian layer cakes, also affectionately known to the locals as Kueh Lapis. Kueh Lapis is not difficult to make, but it requires time and a lot of patience. The bakers hover next to the oven for a couple of hours grilling each layer of batter. Kueh Lapis is typically served in small, thin, rich and fragrant slices.

Located near the airport is the Garuda Park (Taman Rajawali). Built in 2017, this park features a monument with a statue of the Garuda, often used to represent Indonesia, much like the Bald Eagle in the United States. The Garuda symbolises the virtue of knowledge, power, bravery, loyalty, and discipline.

From the Garuda Park, you will have a vantage view of the Tanjak Mosque. The mosque is built in Tanjak Melayu architecture and features a minaret of 45 meters. The exterior is made of modern aluminum composite panels.

Thamboosamy Pillai, an Indian trader in 1891, as a Hindu Temple dedicated to Lord Murugan. A 42.7-metre high gold-painted statue of Lord Murugan was unveiled in January 2006, having taken 3 years to construct. It is the tallest Lord Murugan statue in the world.

30 minutes drive from Batu Caves is the Istana Negara (National Palace). It is the official residence of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, the monarch of Malaysia. The palace complex has an area of 97.65 hectares, 22 domes, and is split into three main portions: the Formal Component, Royal Component and Administration Component.

Located near the National Palace is the Independence Square (Merdeka Square). This is the historical place where the Union flag was lowered and the national flag was raised for the very first time at the struck of midnight of 31st August 1957.

From the Independence Square, you will have a vantage view of the Sultan Abdul Samad building, which is among Kuala Lumpur’s earliest Moorish-style buildings. It was built in 1897 and was named after the reigning sultan of Selangor at the time. The distinguished landmark originally served as the offices for the colonial British administration and the superior courts of Malaysia.

From the Independence Square, you will have a vantage view of the Royal Selangor Club. The club was founded in 1884 and originally served as a meeting place for high ranked and educated members of the British colonial society. Selangor is the name of the state in which the capital – Kuala Lumpur is located.

From the Independence Square, you will have a vantage view of Dayabumi Complex. Built in 1984, it was one of the city’s earliest skyscrapers in Kuala Lumpur to incorporate principles of Islamic design into its architecture.

Next, your guide will bring you to the Petronas Twin Towers. The Petronas Twin Towers are currently the world’s tallest twin structures. The 88-storey buildings are joined at the 41st and 42nd floors by a 58m double-deck Sky Bridge.
