One of the attractions in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Batu Caves!

Batu Caves is a must-visit attraction when you come to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia!
It’s quite convenient to get there by taking the train from KL Sentral, which takes about 30-40 minutes🚉

Right at the entrance, there’s an enormous golden statue of Murugan, and its size is truly overwhelming… It’s said to be 42.7 meters tall😲
And right next to it, you’ll see the colorful 272 steps! Make sure to bring a bottle of water before you climb up, haha.
There are monkeys here and there, so watch your belongings! If you have snacks or drinks, they’re likely to be snatched🐒

After climbing all the steps, the inside of the cave is quite grand, and the mysterious atmosphere blending nature and religion makes you zone out for a moment.
There’s also a temple where you have to take off your shoes, but it was fully accessible for tourists to explore!

Admission is free, but the ‘Ramayana Cave’ next to the cave temple costs 5 ringgit. It’s surprisingly fun and has many photo spots📸
The downside was that it was very hot and the stairs were tough ㅠ Sneakers are recommended!

✅ One-line summary:
“A Hindu landmark where you can feel the local vibe and enjoy a light hike!”

📍 Address: Gombak, 68100 Batu Caves, Selangor, Malaysia
