Batu Caves, Batu

Loved everything about it. Batu Caves is a 'Must See' in Malaysia. It is truly exotic and tremendously gorgeous. I have learnt a lot about the Hindu culture when I visited there with my family.

i went there yesterday and the only nice part was going up all those steps. the place is really dirty and there isnt much to when u get to the top

When the caves were more open to the public it was a fascinating place to visit. However for safety reasons entrance is restricted now so the location is a little dissapointing and not nearly as special as it used to be. Still worth a visit thought.

visit the batu caves for the wonderful veg south indian thali served on a banana leaf and it's not expensive either. we were lucky to be seated next to a wedding party and were able to view the traditional wedding attire of the groom and bride.

This was a awesome experience. The monkeys were great. They will come right up to you. We got good pictures. There is nothing like this in the USA. I went to Kuala Lumpur in Febuary and then again in September. I wish I would have gone both times. Tammara

well the climb up the stairs in the heat was average as you need to stop every few steps to catch your breathe,but the dark cave that they ask you to pay 35 rm is not worth it as you cant go by yourself you have to pay for a guided tour which last about 20 minutes,but the other parts of the cave are free and they are worth it ..

I like mysterious lights and sounds of silence behind the crowded of mans and apes, and 272 steps climbing to get a PERFECT MOMENT .

We can really feel the Spiritual power while seeing the caves. But too stinging because of bats and monkeys. I wondered how they build such a huge temple in that height. We can experience the spiritual vibrations and the energy over a the caves.

A must see when you are in Malaysia. I am planning a trip back to visit Malaysia during the Month of February to witness the largest hindu celebration of "Thaipusam".

This was one of the most unique places I have ever visited. While it is a "tourist attraction", it is important to remember it is a very holy place for many and to respect that. Small native monkeys line the concrete rail all along the ascent and these little guys are aggressive if you don't have treats to provide them and will "thwack" you to get your attention. The stairs (all 272 of them) are not for the faint hearted -- or out of shape, so take your time, but DO make the climb if you can, it is so worth it. An awe inspiring view from the top is only part of the reward and once inside the caves, the feeling is almost like being at some of the well known memorials in the US and other places...quiet, hushed...and also, still plenty of monkeys. We were treated to watching a small group ascend on their knees which is apparently a special homage of some type. It is well worth the effort....highly recommended!!
