Batu Caves
Site of an iconic Hindu temple and a popular tourist attraction, Batu Caves is an unmissable spot for Hindus and visitors alike traveling to Malaysia. Just some 10 kilometers to the north of Kuala Lumpur, the site is located in a limestone hill with three main temple caves and some smaller ones, most are full of Hindu statues and paintings. Right at the entrance, you will see the large statue of Lord Murugan and the 272 colorful steps up to the Cathedral Cave with some monkeys frolicking around. Batu Caves is also the focal point of Thaipusam, the annual Hindu festival, which attracts thousands of pilgrims from around the world.
