- Sri Shakti Temple - The Temple is built in strict conformance to the prescriptions of sacred Hindu Vedas and Aagamas. For example, the layout of the Temple integrates three concentric corridors which serve to guide devotees in a tranquil procession that culminates in the Main Moolasthanam (sanctum sanctorum).\n\nAmongst its other unique features is a strikingly conceived island which has adopted a rare sculptural technique known as Thundu Pattirippu Pathroba Pathram. This fine and delicate technique is customarily not employed in current temple construction, even in India, due to its high degree of complexity, and, was inspired by the shrine of Sri Subramanyar in the Bragatheeswarar Temple Complex (Peria Kovil) in Tanjore, South India.\n\nHelmed by the iconic Shivasri A. P. Muthukumara Shivachariyaar, a renowned national and regional spiritual and religious Hindu leader, the Sri Shakti Temple is not just another place of worship, but one that will stand as a prominent Hindu landmark in Malaysia.

We’ll head to Bukit Malawati kuala selangor from KL city centre which will take a around 45min-50min drive to watch Silver leaf monkeys, which are more friendly and tame than other monkeys. Believe me, you shouldn’t miss this experience. And also we can spend ample of time here to feed the monkeys and take beautiful pictures.
Right after that, we’ll be heading to get a quick local Chinese style seafood dinner at a fisherman’s village (not included in tour packages).
Next we’ll be heading to the fireflies park. Quietly float out on boat to see the incredible twinkles of the largest fireflies colony in Malaysia. Marvel at the ability of these amazing lightning bugs to synchronize their light patterns before your return to Kuala Lumpur.
You’ll be able to see Eagle Feeding (optional) and blue tears (optional) at firefly park too.
- The drive from Kuala Lumpur to the first stop will take approximately 60 mins, right after that will take around 15min drive to Bukit Melawati to see silver leaf monkey. Lastly to the final stop, kampung Kuantan firefly park to witness the firefly with all the memories of twinkling fireflies, will take another 60 min drive approximately back to Kuala Lumpur city centre.

Can recommend! - I had a great time! The fireflies were really cool, and the monkeys were so gentle. The temple was a hidden gem. Sorry, didn't even try to get pics of the fireflies; very hard to capture. I put my phone down and enjoyed the experience!
The tour guide "Ben" was professional, friendly, and felt genuine about it. He also drove safely, and the car was really nice and comfortable.
If you do the blue tears experience, make sure to drag your net in the dark shadow under the edge of the boat, otherwise you may not see anything.
If I could give a small feedback, it's that the air freshener smell in the car was a bit strong. There was an automatic timer on it to spray. For people sensitive to perfumey smells this might need to be turned off.
So glad I took this tour!

Great Way to Spend an Evening in KL - Great tour! We really enjoyed seeing the fireflies! They're so much smaller and "flashier" than the ones in the US There are thousands of them - tiny, like the size of a red ant. Mr. Ayr, our guide, was terrific and caught them for us to see in our hands. We also paid extra to see the "Blue Tears" bioluminescence in the river. TBH, it wasn't as dramatic as I expected, but still worth seeing. I'm glad we did it. (Unfortunately, the fireflies and bioluminescence can't really be caught on a cell phone, so no pics of those.)
Our guide also bought food for us to feed the silverleaf monkeys, which was another really fun experience! The monkeys are wild, but are so habituated to human interaction that they literally will come right up to grab a bean from your hand. In some cases, if you're holding an entire bag of them, they'll crawl up on you to get their treats!
One other point worth noting: Mr. Ayr has got the fanciest car I've ever been in! Super comfy ride that made the drive out to the river very enjoyable despite traffic snarls and drizzling rain! ;o)
The whole evening was great and we enjoyed the boat ride as much as seeing the fireflies and bioluminescence. Thank you to Mr. Ayr for a great night out in KL!

Fun tour with Adam - lots of variety - We had a wonderful evening tour with Adam. There were only 4 of us in a very comfortable, new 3-row vehicle. He told us a bit about the temple before we went in. He was wonderful with the adorable silver leaf monkeys. He made sure to get us the best spots on a smaller boat for the fireflies & blue tears. He even caught a firefly and put it in my hand. Such wonderful treatment from our guide!

Very good trip - We were lucky to have a night with very good amounts of fireflies. The boat ride was very nice. The temple and monkey spots were very nice as well. The driver and guide was excellent, informative and helpful. A very nice experience and must do in Malaysia.

A great evening - Interacting with the monkeys and laughing at their antics. The exhilerating boat ride to view the twinkling fire flies. And the lovely meal we had at the fishing village.

A great evening tour. - Loved this trip. Our guide was very pleasant and informative. First we saw an amazing Buddhist Temple then went on to see the monkeys. We had so much fun interacting with them and laughing at their antics. We then went to a fishing village and had a great meal at a very cheap price and then finished with an exhilarating ride to
see the fireflies. I'd highly recommend this tour if you have an evening to spare in Kuala Lumpur.

Not worth it - Viator let us down. We got back over an hour late, and our "tour guide" was strictly a driver. The monkeys were amazing, but all of the water activities were a joke. Other tour guides were on the boats with their groups and catering only to them, and in a language other than English. We had no idea what was going on during the eagle feeding, firefly tour or whatever the blue tears thing was supposed to be. $175 (including the optional activities for 2 people) is a rip off.

Not a recommended tour - Not recommended at all. The guy who picked me up was just a driver. The places to visit include the hindu temple (5 mins stop), a monkey place (10 mins), and a place where you can take a boat to see fireflies and blue water. Nothing is interested for me. You got no information about the places that you visited. I had to google them when I am back home.
