Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya and Fireflies at the Sky Mirror
Stop in Putrajaya on arrival day, then spend a day at the Sky Mirror, the Sekinchan rice fields and the fireflies of Kuala Selangor.
Taking advantage of the airport express train that passes through Putrajaya, visit the Pink Mosque first on day one before heading into the city. Day two covers the old town and the Petronas Twin Towers. On day three, join a group day tour to Kuala Selangor: in the morning, catch the tide for the Sky Mirror; in the afternoon, see the Sekinchan rice fields; in the evening, take a boat to watch fireflies and return to the city late at night. On the last morning, visit Batu Caves. Staying at KL Sentral makes it easy to reach the suburbs, suited to photography and nature lovers.
Sekinchan's rice fields are greenest in Mar–May and Sep–Nov. The Sky Mirror is only accessible on certain tide days.
