Batu Caves

Last Updated on June 2, 2025 by Roxanne Tamayo

Batu Caves is one of the most popular Hindu Shrine outside of India located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and the cave is dedicated to Lord Murugan.

The limestone forming the Batu Caves is said to be 400 million years old.

This popular Hindu temple can be reached through a Komuter train for RM2 one-way journey from KL Sentral. Just take the Batu Caves-Port Klang Route.

There are 272 concrete steps going to the cave.

The statue of Lord Murugan, a Hindu deity, that said to be the world’s tallest.

Monkeys were all around the place so be careful if you are bringing food or they will steal it from you.

We visited Tugu Negara in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, one of the half-day city tour we did. Do you love visiting a historical site?
