About Batu Caves
Batu Caves is a limestone hill in Gombak, about 13 km north of central Kuala Lumpur, and it sits just across the state line in Selangor. A 42,7-metre gold statue of Lord Murugan stands at the foot of 272 rainbow-painted steps that climb to the Temple Cave, a tall natural chamber with Hindu shrines. The cave itself is covered in the Selangor temples guide.
Entry to the Temple Cave is free. The Ramayana Cave and Cave Villa at the base are run separately and charge small fees, and guided Dark Cave tours are booked through a separate operator, so ask at the site or check ahead. Cover your shoulders and knees; sarongs can be rented at the stalls for around RM5. Long-tailed macaques live on the steps and snatch food and bags. Go before 9 am to climb in the cool. The KTM Komuter Batu Caves line ends a short walk from the entrance.
