Batu Caves
 

Description

This is one of the holiest Hindu shrines in Malaysia and a popular tourist attraction. The Caves are popular not only for being the southernmost limestone outcrop in the Northern Hemisphere, but the labyrinth that makes up the Batu Caves also supports a variety of exotic wildlife. There is a 272-step concrete staircase leading to the temple cave. The main cave holds a shrine of Lord Subramaniam, a Hindu deity. A cave gallery is located at the foot of the caves featuring clay figurines and wall paintings depicting scenes and figures from Hindu mythology.

Sadly no longer so good
By Jim B, 10/29/07
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.

Disappointing experience
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 2/26/07
Batu caves experience was the only experience in Kuala Lumpur that was a disappointment. It was really off putting to see a religious site so commercialised. The area surrounding the caves was really tacky and so full of unrelated commercial development that I was glad to leave.

So so place to visit
By NOD, 9/9/10
Really cheap to get there, only 1 rm from KL Sentral LRT. But along the steps to the caves are wild monkeys and trashes. Not very clean for a temple. A few shops in front of the cave but nothing worth stopping by.

Great exercise - 200+ stairs
By James Hannaman, 6/18/06
Great exercise taking the stairs all the way to the top without pause - Give it a shot. Push yourself. The stairs lead to an elevated underground cave in which you can worship the buddha or just sightsee - mostly bats and natural land formation.

GOOD MEMORIES
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/25/07
I like mysterious lights and sounds of silence behind the crowded of mans and apes, and 272 steps climbing to get a PERFECT MOMENT .
