Highlights
  • Batu Caves - Batu Caves is a limestone hill featuring a series of caves and cave temples, situated in the Gombak district, 13 kilometers (8 miles) north of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The name is derived from the Sungai Batu or Batu River, which flows by the hill. The nearby village is also called Batu Caves. This site is one of the most renowned Hindu shrines outside of India, dedicated to Lord Murugan, and serves as the central point for the Thaipusam festival in Malaysia. Known as the 10th Caves or Hill for Lord Muruga, it is among the ten most significant shrines in India and Malaysia. The Lord Murugan statue at the base of Batu Caves stands at an impressive 42.7 meters (140 feet), making it the second tallest Hindu deity statue in the world. The limestone that forms Batu Caves is estimated to be around 400 million years old.

Worth a visit - Quite impressive. Only needed 90 mins to see everything. The stairs are very steep and not fit for senior people.
