Stop At: Batu Caves, Batu Caves, Selangor

The Batu Caves in Malaysia are one of the most important Hindu religious sites outside of India and are a must-see once you tire of shopping and wandering Kuala Lumpur.

Just eight short miles north of the city, the Batu Caves are just one of the many interesting things to do around Kuala Lumpur. The caves attract around 5,000 visitors a day who come to climb the grueling 272 steps up to the caverns.

The Batu Caves are a focal point for Hindu Malaysians, particularly during Thaipusam: they house a 113-year-old temple, along with an interesting array of Hindu artwork and shrines.

Every year during the Hindu festival of Thaipusam, the Batu Caves attract more than a million devotees and spectators. The eight-hour procession of music and ceremony leaves offerings before a giant statue of Lord Murugan, the Hindu God of War.
Approaching the caves, the first thing you notice is a towering golden statue of Lord Murugan. Erected in 2006, this statue is the largest in the world dedicated to the deity and stands guard to the 272 leg-burning steps that lead up to the cave entrances.

As you make your way up the steps, you will undoubtedly be entertained by a tribe of monkeys that feed off the steady stream of tourists. You may take pictures, but pay attention to your belongings!

Resting points along the stairs provide nice views of the suburbs of Kuala Lumpur.

Duration: 1 hour

We had a terrific day with Saiful. Communication was excellent via What’s App. On-time pickup. Batu Caves were interesting and beautiful, and the elephant sanctuary was really special. Top-notch experience.

The Batu Caves are a must do stop when visiting KL. It's a good work out climbing all the steps and dodging monkeys and other people. The highlight has to be the elephant sanctuary what a fantastic experience. We paid extra for a guide it was definitely worth it

We had such an amazing time with yus on Wednesday! He’s the perfect guide for either batu caves and the elephant sanctuary, good driver, respectful with timing and even giving advices! Batu caves experience was amazing, where he allowed us an hour and something for visiting the whole complex, then, drove us to one of our most exciting experiences ever: the elephant sanctuary! Wooow, such an incredible job these guys are doing there, rescuing elephants and giving them a second chance for a quality life. We managed to feed them, saw them taking a river bath and also had an awesome guide when there, milus, a supper professional and animal lover person, that explained to us literally everything regarding elephants, their ways of living, etc definetely a must-do experience if you want to make the most of your malaysian travel, 10/10 ! Thanks yus, we will see you soon ;)
