We had a great day on this trip. The Batu caves were stunning and well worth the climb up to the top to see. We stopped off at the deer park and had a wander around even held a few of the reptiles including a python. The elephants were wonderful. We watched them being bathed, unfortunately the water was too high for visitors to participate. We the got to feed them. Including a really sweet baby elephant. The trip was made by our extremely friendly, knowledgable driver. Who made sure we were taken care of all day.
