The Petronas tower tour tickets have to be booked in advanced. We made the mistake of rocking up expecting to get tickets but there are certain viewing times available, so I suggest booking a ticket for a suitable viewing time way before arriving, so you have a chance to tour the twin towers. Nevertheless, this didn’t stop us from walking around to look at the magnificent structure. I will be revisiting again at the end of August 2023 so I will book a ticket in advance and update this blog to inform readers of the tour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/647dbe40bffcb214474b23e6/57f1bfc6-9fa9-4c9c-928b-e724e1a29fd4/Caeron.jpg Tracks Blog - Kuala Lumpur in 72 hours - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/647dbe40bffcb214474b23e6/80910e86-d12b-451e-bc8e-8264c487c3b4/Jalan+Alor.jpg Tracks Blog - Kuala Lumpur in 72 hours - Jalan Alor Food Street Jalan Alor food street is a must for the food, atmosphere, and livelihood. There were different Asian cuisines with different smells coming out all the restaurants and food stalls. Food was also affordable. We went quite early and had a stroll on the whole street so by 7pm the crowds starting packing in, and we found a great spot that offered a great seafood dish. You have seafood to chicken/lamb, vegetarian meals to street style food if you’re feeling snakish. We also got some fresh sugarcane juice that was freshly pressed which we enjoyed as well as a lot of tropical fruits. Altogether we spent at least $60 AUD. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/647dbe40bffcb214474b23e6/4ae8a972-37f8-4c2e-9140-1b441e0f4295/Strawberry.jpg Tracks Blog - Kuala Lumpur in 72 hours - Strawberry Farm At the strawberry farm we picked some strawberries, and they were the juiciest strawberries I’ve had in my life. As we walked back down to Navin, we had a local lady sell some chocolate dipping sauce for the strawberries which we bought and I’m usually not a fan but with how juicy the strawberries were, this was heaven. This is one of the delicacies that I urge everyone to try, it’s not the same as the one you have at home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/647dbe40bffcb214474b23e6/f56ed592-6c19-459e-babf-2d32a8749772/Batu+caves.jpg Tracks Blog - Kuala Lumpur in 72 hours - Batu Caves Batu caves is must when visiting Kuala Lumpur. We went in February during the Thaipusam celebration. This is a celebration for Hindus carrying ‘kavadi’ and ‘paal kudam’ (milk offerings) to pay homage to lord Murugan (the large famous golden statue at location). There was a large number Hindus dressed in bright orange- to yellow (to symbolise purity) that walked up the stairs barefoot carrying the offering on the head. The rainbow stairs aren’t hard to miss and if you’re like me with knee problems, I suggest remaining at the bottom near the temple. The stairs were quite steep and with the festivities, many people came flooding to walk up the stairs, which I respected so stood by and watched. It was such a great experience to see how Hindu beliefs and the religion come to life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/647dbe40bffcb214474b23e6/704b34ac-aa16-4542-b2b9-f12adb34f4ea/Tea+Plantation.jpg Tracks Blog - Kuala Lumpur in 72 hours - Tea Plantation After this, we made our way to the tea plantation which was the highlight of the trip. They had a restaurant available which you could seat and enjoy a Malay cuisine dish there but with the limited time we had, we headed straight to the plantation for a 30-minute walk around to enjoy the view and take photos. It was such a beautiful view. Once we came out, we headed into the tea shop next door and bought some tea to take back home and made a stop at the ice cream shop next door to cool down after the walk back uphill to the entrance. Once done, we started our 5 hours drive back the Airport to get dropped off for our flight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/647dbe40bffcb214474b23e6/a20d5f5b-ef31-4376-973d-e29241f6fcc5/Night+life+KL.jpg Tracks Blog - Kuala Lumpur in 72 hours - KL Night Life We decided to go have a Valentines Day cocktail near the bars that was down the block from the Jalan Alor night market. This wasn’t great decision as one cocktail led to another, and we stayed out until 1am on the morning. Despite this, I have to say that as someone who hardly heads out or drink much while travelling, this has to be one of my favourite experiences. Kuala Lumpur definitely knows how to party, and they play the best global hit songs from Spanish to English to Punjab. If you’re a party animal or enjoy a good night out, this is a great spot. Cocktail, beers & shots were cheap and had early bird specials or valentine’s days deal. We spent at least $100 (AUD) for drinks and manage to be tipsy by the time we ended up at home. The crowd was friendly, and the bar staff were professionals, it was a safe environment to have fun in. We got a taxi ($15) back to our apartment with a guy that was super friendly and understanding https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/647dbe40bffcb214474b23e6/223528dc-97e4-4b13-aa0e-d4be5dbabf39/Waterfall.jpg Tracks Blog - Kuala Lumpur in 72 hours - Lata Iskander Waterfall Our first stop was the Lata Iskander Waterfall, which was a very quiet. There weren’t too many people there, and they had a great stall nearby if you wanted to but weaving baskets and vase. We also bought more tropical fruits (including Guava, Mango, Papaya, Pineapple) to snack in the car. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/647dbe40bffcb214474b23e6/7cda7e38-8ef4-48ff-89d5-b6d6dfb92235/Cactus+valley.jpg Tracks Blog - Kuala Lumpur in 72 hours - Cactus Valley We then jumped in the car and headed further in the mountains. The drive very scenic and beautiful like driving through a rainforest with scatters of civilisation here and there. Once we arrived at Cameron Highlands, we went to the Cactus Valley and the Strawberry farm. We were able to stretch and walk around the Cactus valley with a variety of cactus and flowers on display which was very beautiful. It a Xenophile’s heaven. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/647dbe40bffcb214474b23e6/4344a0bf-e0a4-41aa-93d0-34caf914e6f9/KL+Itinerary.PNG Tracks Blog - Kuala Lumpur in 72 hours - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/647dbe40bffcb214474b23e6/2724d27d-708f-4298-bcd8-f9f498fcab4c/night+view.jpg Tracks Blog - Kuala Lumpur in 72 hours Kuala Lumpur has a lot of accommodations available from Airbnb, shared accommodation to 5-star hotels. Most of the accommodations provide outstanding views with an affordable price. This country was an exception for myself, as I would usually go for a unique Airbnb that’s within a budget and is comfortable regardless of the view however as it was inexpensive, we decided to stay at a luxurious Airbnb apartment with a great view of the Petronas tower all for a price of $350 AUD ($175 pp) for 3 nights. The apartment came with a shared infinity pool with skyline views and a closed gym that was usually empty. If you are like me, where you choose accommodation for comfort, I encourage you to try book something that you hardly would when travelling in Kuala Lumpur. Check Airbnb as well as they provide great prices for unique places. https://www.faranrosetracks.com/blog/singaporein12hours monthly 0.5 2023-07-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/647dbe40bffcb214474b23e6/9df9bd8e-41df-406d-984d-3afefc85ec46/Lantarns.jpg Tracks Blog - Singapore in 12 hours - China Town China town is a must for the food, atmosphere, and livelihood. It was great to walk around and see all the souvenirs and little gifts for sale at the stalls. Everywhere you went there were different smells coming out all the restaurants and food stalls. Food is quite affordable in Singapore, and it is hand’s down one of the best places to enjoy the country’s Cuisine. As already mentioned, it was Lunar festival so by the time we had late dinner it was roughly 11pm and the street was still super busy and packed. We had some special fried rice with Pork for dinner, that was unforgettable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/647dbe40bffcb214474b23e6/620d8a83-f78d-40da-813c-a55c491e9036/Singapore+Itinerary.PNG Tracks Blog - Singapore in 12 hours - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/647dbe40bffcb214474b23e6/c2e3faf6-10b2-4ce7-997f-ae3b9a5acf9f/Dome.jpg Tracks Blog - Singapore in 12 hours - Jewel Dome- Changi Airport I always have to make it back to the Airport with 3 hours left before I board, so I can spend a good 1.5 hors- 2 hours exploring the Airport. It really is a highlight to go the Jewel Dome to see the man-made waterfall and the landscape there. If you are an influencer, this is a great spot to take photos and videos. Changi airport has some great activities that can also keep you busy while waiting at the airport for shorter layovers including shopping. This airport never fails to impress me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/647dbe40bffcb214474b23e6/6094d217-4c98-44c4-88cd-e89182270c9b/Expe.jpg Tracks Blog - Singapore in 12 hours - Gardens by the Bay I highly recommend Gardens by the Bay. It’s free of entry and has spectacular views. For other exhibitions you do you have to pay for a ticket which may by up to $35. We ended up paying to go into the flower dome which had a mad man waterfall. The climb to the top with all the exotic tropical flowers as well as the cactus exhibitions were amazing. We spent a good 1.5 hours in there. When we came out, we wondered the Gardens looking at other open exhibits. My sisters and I were passing through during the Lunar festival, so they had lanterns exhibitions, and the crowd was packed. We also arrived in time for the Rhapsody of Lights show that began at around 8:30pm. This was such a highlight; you could also walk on the tree domes (my preference would be during the day). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/647dbe40bffcb214474b23e6/116a212b-b693-4a9e-aeb6-c0a9240935ea/Botanic+garden.jpg Tracks Blog - Singapore in 12 hours - Botanic Gardens This was definitely a great decision to go for an early morning walk. You can see why it’s listed as a World Heritage Site. It has a magnificent layout that sectioned out well with secret gardens and hidden ponds & waterfalls. We got to see a group of elderly people mediate which was very soothing for the soul. The Garden is massive, so we spent an hour walking through ¼ of it. It’s free of entry so if you’re looking to enjoy the lush vegetation and the outdoor or just looking to kill time, this is where to head. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/647dbe40bffcb214474b23e6/6628c82b-af58-44cb-b089-80cc075d5ae8/25125011007_1_2_3_4.jpg Tracks Blog - Singapore in 12 hours - Marina Bay Sands This was probably the most I’ve spent while being in Singapore. When heading up to the top deck it costed about $70 pp and the view was quite amazing. They had a restaurant at the top that you could enjoy a meal with a view as well as a swimming pool, but we had a flight to catch so we ordered a $7 Singaporean sling shot and had that with a view. You do have a chance of getting your photo taken with a background of your choice that you can get a link to which was about $60. https://www.faranrosetracks.com/blog/kimbepngtravelblog-aff36-fkrnn monthly 0.5 2023-07-26 https://www.faranrosetracks.com/about daily 0.75 2024-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/647dbe40bffcb214474b23e6/deb3f307-6a32-4c29-bef3-e5bce8107d87/Semi-Arid+clay+pans https://www.faranrosetracks.com/media-kit daily 0.75 2023-07-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/647dbe40bffcb214474b23e6/d6ed81de-bd6c-40c6-8856-98bec5c88cb0/Title+Page.png Media Kit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/647dbe40bffcb214474b23e6/ed15af0b-9095-4088-aa75-b8a6b07436cb/Bio+Page.png Media Kit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/647dbe40bffcb214474b23e6/db178a56-0ee9-47a1-bb3c-15961f991d0a/Audience+%26+Demographics.png Media Kit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/647dbe40bffcb214474b23e6/57431fd0-04e6-4613-9c4e-90d42807247a/Contact+Page.png Media Kit https://www.faranrosetracks.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-07-26 https://www.faranrosetracks.com/store daily 0.75 2023-10-25
