this educational tour that offers you both a short visit both the
sacred Batu Caves as well as a complete experience at the
Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary
BATU CAVES
Just
outside the city limits, these famous caverns have a main Temple
Cave with
a ceiling looming over 100 metres
overhead, and features ornate Hindu shrines. To reach it one has to
climb a steep flight of 272 steps, a feat performed by as many as
500,000 Hindu devotes during the annual Thaipusam festival.

Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary was established in
1967 by the Department
of Wildlife and National Parks. The centre is a base
for the Elephant Relocation Team, which began the elephant
translocation program in 1974. The only one of its kind in Malaysia,
it is dedicated in relocating wild elephants from their habitat
areas which are constantly being encroached upon by plantations to
other suitable and protected
habitats throughout peninsula Malaysia such as Taman
Negara.
Over the past 25 years the centre has helped prevent
further decline of the elephant population by relocating more than
300 wild elephants
