The most impressive attraction around KL. Harmony of nature and religion ☯️ Enter is free. Don't be afraid monkeys, they are fed good there but feeling humans fear. Better to check train schedule - I stuck on the station for an hour and I'd prefer to use this time exploring caves

Definitely worth going if you are visiting KL. the cave itself is spectacular, the temples are interesting. Lots of animals everywhere so the ground is a bit dirty, just how it is, so just be prepared. The steps are also quite steep so be careful. There is a dress code, women have to wear a long dress or trousers and cover their shoulders, bit men seem to be with just shorts and t-shirt.

Very inexpensive fee to go inside ( you don’t need to pay if you’re not climbing the stairs) and need to pay for parking so it’s easier to Grab from the city center than drive. The beautiful. Statue with the rainbow colored stairs make for a beautiful picture and there is a restaurant,convenience store as well as souvenir shops inside and outside of the gate. Get ready to climb the 272 stairs !

Good place to visit. The colored stairs are a very nice touch but are not the cleanest or safest to climb. They are wet and with the monkeys around, have trash including banana peel on them. Be careful when you climb.Climbing those stairs takes a toll, go preferably on a relatively colder day with little humidity, and carry water.

Went to Batu caves about 30 years ago and 30 years from then, it still has the old charm and mystique from childhood. Besides being a popular tourist attraction, it is also a place of worship and for the pious followers. Take your time to walk up the 272 steps and be in awe as you stand above the entrance of the cave and look down to the sight of tourists, pigeons and monkeys.

Must have for tourist when in KL. Located 10km out of town, reachable by public transportation or grab.275 steps with colorful staircase seem not too hard, all ages managed to get to the top.Recommendation to go on early morning if you want to take good photo and less crowded.

Really interesting Indian temples. It's not just a touristy place, but an actual place of worship with visiting devotees. Don't miss climbing up the stairs to the top inside the caves (wear comfortable shoes).

Beautiful temple 🛕 Definitely worth a visit!The climb is easy and there is lots of refreshment at the top.Would also recommend some of the vegetarian Indian restaurants opposite the temple if you’re looking for lunch 🥗

It gets really crowded but it’s never too much…A lot of worshippers are praying there so pay your respects.There are enough restaurants and souvenir shops, there’s even one in the caves itself, which is good because you’ll be glad to be able to buy some drinks after the steep climb😜The easiest way to get there is by grab…

My all time favourite devotional place and give peace of mind.Besides praying and visiting sightseeing like Cave Villa, naughty Monkeys are captivating attractions there. Most of monkeys there are playfull but be careful with your belongings especially food items, they tend to steal 😉

Interesting spiritual experience. You can climb the stairs and get to the temple at the top where you'll have monks welcoming you for a prayer. Be careful about the monkeys, they are not that nice. There is a museum on the ground floor as well.

What one could say when you’re in Malaysia and got to know that there’s an Indian temple and that too such an amazing. The place is so amazing that you’ll love it to see the sculptures and all. Don’t worry about the stairs, it’s worth visiting the top of that place and you’ll be amazed to visit it. I would recommend to visit and love the moment.

Batu Cave is an enchanting destination nestled in the heart of Malaysia, offering a memorable experience that blends spirituality, nature, and adventure. As soon as you set foot at this majestic site, you’ll be captivated by its towering limestone formations and vibrant Hindu temples.The highlight of my visit to Batu Cave was undoubtedly the exhilarating climb up the high stairs leading to the main cavern. While the ascent might be physically demanding for some, the effort is absolutely worth it. As you make your way up, the breathtaking views unfold, rewarding you with a sense of accomplishment as you approach the sacred Batu Cave temple.Now, let’s talk about the adorable residents of Batu Cave—the monkeys! These mischievous creatures add an extra layer of excitement to your visit. They’re known to be curious and may approach visitors in search of snacks or playfulness. Interacting with them can be a delightful experience, but do remember to exercise caution and keep a safe distance.Once inside the cave, you’ll be awed by the grandeur of the Temple Cave, adorned with ornate Hindu statues and intricate designs. The spacious cavern houses several shrines, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and devotion.To enhance your visit, I recommend wearing comfortable shoes and carrying some water for the climb. Additionally, it’s advisable to keep your belongings secured, as the monkeys have a penchant for exploring unattended bags.Overall, Batu Cave is a must-visit attraction for its unique blend of spiritual significance, natural beauty, and thrilling stair climb. Prepare yourself for a challenging yet rewarding adventure, and don’t forget to engage with the lively monkey inhabitants. Your journey to Batu Cave will undoubtedly be etched in your memory for years to come.

Beautiful place to see.You can easily reach by train from the city.If you want to avoid the tourist chaos it s better to go early around 8-8.30.This attraction is freeAnd pay attention to the monkeys😁

It is a landmark in KL and attracts lots of tourist. Ladies needs to cover their leg and those wear shorts will be denied entry, unless they buy a piece of clothes at the foot of the hill (or stalls nearby) and cover up. Climb took forever (for the not so physically fit like me) but once on top, one will be rewarded with a big cool cave will a couple on Hindu shrine inside. Some parts where the wind flow was very cooling. The climb down looks easy but can be quite tricky.For transport to Batu, it is not advisable to take the train because the frequency is low and the wait for the next train can be up to an hour.

素晴らしいです。クアラルンプールに行ったら是非行くべしスポット。ヒンドゥー教のお寺ですがカラフルで綺麗だし、眺めもよいです。鉄道駅からすぐ！カラフルな272段の階段を登るとそこには洞窟と鍾乳洞が現れます。鍾乳洞も絶景です。無料で入れます。(Translated by Google)That's excellent. A must-see spot when you go to Kuala Lumpur.Although it is a Hindu temple, it is colorful and beautiful, and the view is good.Right next to the train station!Climb the 272 colorful steps and you'll find caves and limestone caves. The limestone cave is also a spectacular view.You can enter it for free.

Beautiful cultural place. There are a few flights of stairs inside the cave after the main climb up at the entrance. The cave was one of the largest I’ve been to. Was interesting to see the devotees in their places of worship inside the caves.

Very interesting place. I recommend to walk all those 266 stairs and there you will see 2 temples into the cave. The view is also adorable. You will meet a lot of monkeys. 🙈 They are very friendly and will look for some food.

I visited it in July 2023. It was hot and hard to climb the stairs in a dress , longer than my knees ( no pants allowed), but it was worth it. Inside the cave the air was cool. I was surprised to see that the people lit candles and used incense during the religious ceremony ( as it's been done in the Orthodox Church).

Wonderful place.A bit crowded during most of the season owing to the rush of tourists from all over.Still well maintained despite the heavy rush of travellers. Was amused by the colour pattern in the steps and the view from the caves is beautiful.

Feeding the monkeys and pigeons was the highlight for us in this trip. If you visit the bird zone , ensure to wear a mask. Such a culturally rich area. I wish they put an effort to keeping the place clean. For such a. Large number of visitors and patrons, there is little to no attention to keeping the place clean. Attention to the temple surrounding areas and overall ambience would do it a great favour. Despite all that, I think it's a signature Must see in KL.

Beautiful, spectacular and one heck of a climb. Lots of monkeys, please tread carefully. I went in the evening about 4pm so it wasn't hot, quite cool and was a lovely climb up 272 steps. Probably won't do it again but definitely something to do at least once in your lifetime.

Must see cave and temples. Enjoy the incredible cave formations and cheeky monkeys. Food and drink vendors. Great free experience or small voluntary donation if you please. Cheap and easy to get to by train or grab taxi from city. Highly recommend

Truly a great experience. Very scenic views of the caves and of the gigantic statue and the colored steps. Watch out for the monkeys all around, they will grab you if you have food or drinks visible. There were also some roosters and hens inside the caves.

Batu Caves is one of the most important pilgrimage sites for Hindus. But to be honest, there’s not much to see there. And the government should improve the hygiene of the entrance area, and keep tourists from feeding monkeys with their own food.

This holy place has a big daity statue in front and no tickets to visit. There are a few small temples under caves for which you have to climb around 250 steps. Many monkeys in stairs. take water with you as you can tired after climbing. Worth visiting.

A captivating destination, known for its stunning limestone caves and Hindu temples. The enormous golden statue of Lord Murugan at the entrance is awe-inspiring. Climbing the 272 coloured steps to the main cave offers a rewarding experience with breathtaking views. Inside, the cave's cavernous chambers are filled with religious artifacts and the echoes of prayers. It's a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural significance, making it a must-visit attraction in Malaysia.

Ascend around 270 stairs to discover a captivating cave with a temple inside, providing a fascinating glimpse into Indian religious practices. The breathtaking cave is enhanced by the lively presence of monkeys, adding a delightful touch to your journey as they play comfortably alongside humans during the ascent.

It was a fine experience. It's always very busy and touristy. You'll find a lot of Monkeys on your way. Make sure you keep your belongings safe.There are a lot of stairs if you want to climb. It can give you a normal city view, not that much nice, but a good one. There are a couple of active temples there.The caves themselves are nice and give you a majestic vibe. There's one temple at the start and another one after climbing a few more stairs.It's always so humid, so take water bottles with you. There are a lot of shops around too but they are a bit more expensive than regular shops.

You can have a food at reasonable price.Overall it's a beauty of colours. Scenic and photogenic place.

Nothing comes any close to this holy and sacred place in the whole of Malaysia. Rest of the Malaysian region has snazzy malls and buildings......a joy for the materialistic person in us. Batu caves with it's beautiful temples is the idyllic meditative and spiritual recourse for everyone

It's a good place to go.A bit far from the CBD but it's worth visiting here.The trains run only once in an hour so be careful.You'd better take Grab if you don't want to waste your time.There are so many pigeons and monkeys and people. And the 280 stairs are very hard.

A must see when visiting KL .. the area has recently been upgraded and some of the temples have had a fresh coat of paint. Remember it’s a religious place so dress appropriately and there are a lot of monkeys so make sure you put everything in a bag .. I’ve seen them take sunglasses and hats!!

Was good but not must visit place.- Dangerous monkeys : throw things to human pour water also.- Smell bad with monkey waste, chicken waste unlike holy place.But it us stunning when you look sky in the middle of cave and statues are harmonious with lime cave.

Nice place to visit. Nothing much to do but to enjoy the view and the temple.The stairs are really smelly of monkey waste.It was not as hard as I expected and from the picture posted in Google.You'll definitely need to bring extra clothes as you will sweat a lot because of the weather and taking the stairs. We arrived early in the morning.Mens can wear shorts and go up. For the Ladies, the knees must not be showing. Bring something to cover up.Beware of the monkeys, they are thieft and stealing foods and other items from people.You can buy dove feeds for RM 5.00Stunning view from the inside of the cave.Mostly Indian foods on the restaurant. No fried chicken alone.Bring your own water or you can also buy there, but no idea how much.A lot of coconut for refreshment on the restaurant.There is a beverage store at the end of the stairs above with souvenir items.If you wish to enter the temple, remove your shoes.Pay Toilet is available at the ground on the right side of the big statue for RM 0.50.Merchandise are also available.We took Grab for convenience.

We went here at 8am and we think it was the best time because it wasn’t too crowded and the weather just fine.It’s free and u can enjoy one of the largest hindu site and community all over the world. There were some ritual if u are lucky enough to see. Nice cultural experience and we spent almost 3 hours 👍🏻

A must experience. I was a bit concerned by the number of steps at first, but it was fairly easy going with loads of places to stop for a moment to recover. Very busy but just an amazing must do place to visit. Go all the way to the back (both caves with a second set of steps). Absorb in the whole amazing place. Lots of things to see in the vicinity, temples, resturants and shops.

Amazing place to see, a must for KL. Make sure your knees and elbows are covered otherwise they may refuse entry. (Mainly for ladies).You don’t have to pay for entry but you can make a donation if you would like to.We visited during morning hours, was less busy and cooler would recommend to visit then as well before the big rush and temperatures start to increase. The stairs are bigger than they look walkable for everyone.

Beautiful temple in the caves, decent amount of stairs involved. There are monkeys everywhere so be mindful of your belongings, those mischievous little guys get pretty grabby. Very popular tourist attraction so it’s quite busy. There are restaurants, toilets, gift shops all near the entrance area. I was very disappointed to see how much garbage there was everywhere. Watching the wildlife eating food wrappers and chewing old water bottles was pretty upsetting.

Visitors get two types of attractions in one: the temples and the massive caves. The statue and the steps are impressive to see in person. The climb up is pretty long but not all that difficult. It would help to get here before 8 AM to avoid the heat as well as the crowds that start to build up around 9. Didn’t see any monkeys early in the morning.

Batu Caves is a temple inside a giant cave. To get there we had to take several subways, once we got to the place we had to walk a little, that path is full of sculptures and temples. Then, upon arriving at Batu Caves, at the entrance there are people in charge of checking clothing, since being a temple, they demand respect. Once you pass the checkpoint, there is a very, very long staircase, divided into segments. The views from the stairs are beautiful, but you have to be careful and stay away from the monkeys because they are trained to steal, they will try to snatch your wallet, glasses, cell phone, anything that is within reach. Inside the cave you can see sculptures, while we were there there was a religious ceremony, then once you get to the upper part of the cave, which is open, there is one more post that you can reach, it is difficult to access and is inside the rock, until you reach a small, dark and vertiginous room, which is worth it if you are not afraid of those places.
