We recently went to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia together with our office mates. However, we were not able to plan our itinerary since everyone was busy with work. So we just went with the flow and went to anywhere our feet (and train) can take us.
1. Batu Caves
Batu Caves is a limestone hill that has a series of caves and cave temples in the Gombak district, 13 kilometres north of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It takes its name from the Sungai Batu or Batu River, which flows past the hill.

Beryl's is a famous local chocolate brand in Malaysia. Beryl's Chocolate Kingdom is one of its retail outlets but has also become a tourist destination because of their chocolates. If you want to visit their factory, go to
Beryl's Chocolate Wonderland instead.

Tip: Grab the opportunity to taste all their variants here. It's free!
Warning: Chocolates here are more expensive compared to ones sold in stalls around the city. You can opt to buy their Tiramisu variants since those are rare to find in stalls.
6. Genting Highlands
Genting Highlands, otherwise known as Resorts World Genting, is a hill resort in Malaysia developed by Genting Group.

Nothing much to do here since the amusement park is not completed yet. But we still managed to make the most of it by riding the cable car, eating in a buffet restaurant to explore local delicacies, touring around Ripley's Believe It Or Not museum, then shopping at a Nike outlet store.

7. Titiwangsa Park
If you are a John Lloyd fan then you should not miss visiting the
Titiwangsa Park. This is where they shot the
"Miss You Like Crazy" movie. Look for the seat where John Lloyd and Bea sat. hehehe
Istana Budaya, an arts and cultural center, is also nearby.

Trip Suggestion
If you are planning to go to KL without an itinerary, we suggest you to take the
KL Hop-On Hop-Off Bus. The bus conveniently stops along tourist spots in the city which you can hop-off then hop-on back when you're done exploring a site. Ticket costs RM45 which is valid for 24 hours.
