Festive Tour THAIPUSAM at BATU CAVES in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Our itinerary 
5 am Early pick up from your hotel and depart for the famous Batu Caves to witness
first hand the piercing of steel skewers and hooks into the devotees cheeks, tongue, eyebrows. This is possible due to the trance "fed" into them through the incessant chant of "vel Vel" and heavy drum beats. To "receive" this trance, devotees ought to cleanse themselves on a 40 day abstinence from all vices. The Guide will explain further.
 (Note: We have made special arrangements with a devotee who will be fulfilling his vows on that day). 
 
7am After ritual formalities which is done at a riverside, the devotee dashes through the crowd up the 272 steps and surrenders himself to his Lord Murugan fulfilling his promise. This is a journey of endurance through sweltering heat, bare footed and in abject agony due to the piercings. A festive carnival indeed !
9 am Breakfast at the temple grounds and you are free at leisure to mingle with the crowd for more photo shoots.
1 pm Banana leaf lunch (eat with fingers) and drop off at your hotel. End of program.
