Batu Caves

These impressive limestone caves are also used for Hindu festivals and pilgrimages.

Reviewed By NandanRao - Bengaluru, India

Climbing the colorful 272 steps, one reaches the huge cave - also housing the temple of Lord Murugan. The cave is amazing, very tall and spacious and very cool even in the hot Malaysian weather. The stair climb is a good workout with lot of photo stops and monkey encounters! Once reaching the top, you enter the large cave with various temples. This being one of the oldest temples in Malaysia is holy to Hindus, To enter the temple area, you need to remove footwear. The cave itself is very large, the rock and limestone formations are amazing to see and the entire area is surprisingly clean. Beware of the mosquitoes in the cave. It would be advisable to carry an insect repellent - especially after the perspiring 272 step climb! The other interesting part of this area is the Ramayana Cave. The story of Ramayana depicted via colorful idols is thoroughly enjoyable Tips: 1. Carry an insect repellent (mosquitoes) 2. Be careful of monkeys, if they see anything colorful in your hands they just grab 3. Go early in the morning to beat the crowds and sun 4. Visit the Ramayana cave (5RM per person)

Ramayana Cave

Reviewed By Prabhutva - Bharatpur, India

Situated near batu caves is this beautiful cave called ramayana caves. The complete story on ramayan is so beautifully carved on the stones that u are mesmerised with the view. Its well kept and is so interesting to see that how someone imagined to brief the whole Indian mythology on caves that too so far from India. A must see place.
