The 272-steps climb lead you to the top of a natural limestone cavern which houses a sacred Hindu shrine.

Historical Malacca (Full Day)Founded in 1403, the Sultanate of Malacca was once the greatest and most powerful empire and seaport in South-East Asia. The Portuguese, Dutch and British ruled over Malacca’s silk and spice trade for centuries and this rich heritage is evident today in a unique mix of architectural styles in the port city of Malacca. Visit the Cheng Hoon Teng Temple, the oldest Chinese temple in Malaysia, the Dutch Stadhuys and walk through the ruins of St Paul’s Church where St Francis Xavier was once buried. Malacca is one of the birthplaces of the ‘Babas’ - a unique mix of Chinese and Malay cultures. Note: Please wear comfortable walking shoes. Lunch is provided.
