Petronas – pride of Kuala Lumpur

18 May 2010 24 Comments

The twin towers of Kuala Lumpur are better known as Petronas. It is a must see in the city considering the breath taking view you get from up there. And I heard a few Bond movies were shot there as well.

Up, up & up…..

I have around 100 photos of it. Why? Because I could see Petronas only in my third attempt. Every time I went there, I couldn’t go up… came out, clicked some photos and returned home with my drooping face.

There is only one way…. Forward..

The two towers are connected by a sky bridge. When you want to visit the towers, then the sky bridge is the highest point you can get to.

Made of steel & glass…

with attractive entrance.

And on my lucky day, it was extremely hot since morning. But when my turn came to go up at 2:30, as luck would have it… it started pouring.

Looking up from 41st floor skybridge… and…

… down. As you can see, it was raining heavily on my lucky day.

Hello Nisha. Wow all are magnificent and amazing captures!

I am fascinated by Petronas too. We stayed in KualaLumpur right across the Petronas at Ascott on the 27th floor. Sitting out in the balcony we had a majestic view everyday for three days. We used to sit outside till the lights went off in the night. I am inspired enough to write a post on it.

Petronas is an extraordinary building – far more regal and striking than some of the other towering buildings around the world. It night it is remarkably lit. Great building and I am glad that your persistence paid off.
