#100usdchallenge 🇲🇾✨ “Kuala Lumpur on <$100: Towers, Temples & Street Food in 2 Days” Kuala Lumpur blends modern skyscrapers with vibrant street food, markets, and cultural gems — all surprisingly budget-friendly. 📍 Where I Stayed Sunshine Bedz KL / Paper Plane Hostel — dorm beds from ~$12/night. Total stay: ~$24 (2 nights) 🚇 Transport Use the Touch ‘n Go card for MRT/LRT/monorail. Daily spend ~$3–4. 2‑day transport budget: ~$7 ⸻ 🏙 Day 1 — City Icons & Night Bazaars • Breakfast roti canai + teh tarik — ~$2 • Petronas Twin Towers (outside & KLCC Park) — free (paid sky deck ~$20, skip for budget) • Kuala Lumpur City Gallery + Merdeka Square — free • Lunch: Nasi lemak + iced kopi — ~$4–5 • Thean Hou Temple — free (panoramic views!) • Bukit Bintang & Jalan Alor Night Market — food crawl (satay, fried noodles) ~$7–8 Day 1 total: ~$18–20 ⸻ 🕌 Day 2 — Batu Caves & Green Escape • Breakfast kaya toast + kopi — ~$2 • Batu Caves (rainbow steps & giant Murugan statue) — free, just train fare (~$0.70 each way) • Lunch: Indian banana leaf meal — ~$4–5 • KL Forest Eco Park (Canopy Walk) — free entry • Chinatown (Petaling Street) — cheap snacks ~$3 • Dinner: Char kway teow + dessert cendol — ~$6 Day 2 total: ~$15–16 ⸻ ✅ 2‑Day Grand Total (approx.)

Use free GoKL city buses (purple/green lines) to hop between Bukit Bintang, Chinatown, and KLCC — it saves both time and money. ⸻ Quick Tips • Arrive early at Batu Caves to avoid crowds and heat. • Street food is cheaper than malls and just as tasty. • Carry small bills (RM1–10) for markets and food stalls. • Monsoon afternoons bring rain — plan indoor stops midday. • Best free views? KLCC Park at night with the fountain light show. #BudgetCityBreak #WeekendGetaway #SoloSmartTravel #KualaLumpurOnABudget #BatuCavesAdventure #TwinTowersViews #StreetFoodKL #MalaysiaForLess #BackpackingAsia
