Batu Caves is an iconic and popular tourist attraction in Selangor.
Site of a Hindu temple and shrine, Batu Caves attracts thousands of worshippers and tourists, especially during the annual Hindu festival, Thaipusam.
A limestone outcrop located just north of Kuala Lumpur, Batu Caves has three main caves featuring temples and Hindu shrines.
Its main attraction is the large statue of the Hindu God at the entrance, besides a steep 272 climb up its steps to finally view the stunning skyline of the city centre.
Monkeys frolic around the caves, and it is a popular spot for rock climbing enthusiasts. Paintings and scenes of Hindu Gods can also be seen in the Ramayana Cave.
Batu Caves is a place where you should not miss on your visit.

Pick up was on time
We were not guided but not really any need. All self explanatory
272 steps up to shrine. So not for infirm people. We are 76 and 78 and did it but we are reasonably fit.
Well worth the effort. Stunning inside caves at top.

It was good to see but if I was pushed for time I wouldn’t bother
Very crowded & a lot of stairs for not much reward, stairs are wet, small & uneven so not a pleasant climb
There was no information around anywhere to give details or background of what you are looking at
The detail in the statues are amazing but was a little disappointed from the hype that was built up over it

Your operator called shortly after making booking and stated that they couldn’t come. They should have marked the calendar on the website, if they were unable to accommodate new bookings.
I am currently fighting for my money back!
Do NOT recommend this company

We were picked up in a private air conditioned car on time from our hotel.
We drove straight to the caves and the driver explained some history of the caves on the drive there.
We spent about 1.5hrs looking at the caves and temples and then the driver drove us back via a store selling hand made Batik products and another selling watches, bags etc.
We didn’t feel pressured into buying any products and left within 5mins of entering both stores.
Overall a really nice trip and very polite driver.
