A very beautiful and airy place on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur city. The base of these caves is a famous Hindu temple with a historical significance. There’re coffee shops and food joints for visitors to savour before and after visiting the place. There’re two temples on both sides of the compound and more than 100 colourful stairs to the cave entrance. The caves are very old but maintained nicely. There’re small temples in the caves as well. Ample parking space for the place and a very relaxing yet enjoyable scenery from the place. The brass golden statue of the lord is the biggest attraction point of this spot.

Unfortunately the Murugan statue is under restoration work and wrapped up in scaffolding, but still the vibe at this beautiful temple complex around and inside if the impressive Batu cave is worth the visit. Goosebump feeling when slowly ascending on the steep stairs, feeling like back in India. Fantastic. Breathtaking when entering the cave at first and stunned by this huge dimensions.

Visited Batu Caves during my trip to Malaysia, and it was an absolutely fascinating experience that beautifully blends nature, culture, and spirituality. The iconic golden statue of Lord Murugan standing tall at the entrance is truly awe-inspiring and sets the tone for the entire visit. The steep flight of colorful steps leading up to the main cave temple is both challenging and rewarding, offering breathtaking views of the surroundings as you climb. Each step feels like a journey through devotion and history. Inside the main cave, the vast limestone formations combined with the serenity of the temple create a sacred and peaceful atmosphere. The area is well-maintained with proper amenities, and even though there are monkeys around, the management ensures cleanliness and visitor safety. The nearby smaller caves and art galleries further add depth to the cultural experience, showcasing the roots of Hindu traditions in Malaysia. The staff and devotees are kind and respectful, always willing to guide visitors. It’s easily accessible by train or taxi from Kuala Lumpur, making it a must-visit for anyone exploring the city. Batu Caves is not just a tourist attraction—it’s a spiritual landmark that leaves you with a sense of calm, admiration, and deep cultural appreciation.

Beautiful by day, but extremely hot especially when you have to walk up the several million steps. Gorgeous by night, especially when the crowds have died down after 8pm, the temples start wrapping up and shut at 9, but the area stays open to take pictures till 10pm. Word of warning though, Grab cars can only be booked to the Exit 3 (in the back?), but that exit closes then the temples do, so it's better to head out of the main exit before booking yourself a Grab out - the signage does a terrible job of communicating this.

Batu Caves is undoubtedly one of Malaysia’s most iconic cultural and religious landmarks, and our visit to this impressive site was both fascinating and insightful. Located just outside Kuala Lumpur, the attraction is easily accessible and offers a blend of spirituality, history, nature, and adventure. Although our experience was overall positive, there were a few aspects—particularly the maintenance work on the Lord Murugan statue—that slightly affected the visit. Upon arriving, the sheer size and beauty of the Batu Caves complex immediately stood out. The long flight of 272 colorful steps leading to the main Temple Cave is a defining feature and provides a vibrant welcome. The steps themselves are beautifully painted and make for an eye-catching view, especially when combined with the energetic presence of monkeys and the constant movement of visitors. Climbing them was a mix of fun and challenge, but definitely manageable with short breaks and hydration.

Entry is free. Before you enter itself, You see Lord Kartikeya standing tall and One has to climb 272 steps to reach the top where the Sanctum sanctorum of the God is there. The first level upstairs has set of small temples and we can get offerings to provide. Then there is one more level. Even though it can get hot downstairs, It feels cool once you enter upstairs inside the cave. Beautiful and amazing temple. Monkeys are a menace. Don't keep anything in hand while climbing up esp food. Must visit if you are in KL.

Clean, spacious and colorful; with newly built souvenir shops and spacious parking lot inside...surprisingly the parking fee for car is very cheap, just rm3 per entry. And theres no entrance fee for individual. But u need to wear proper clothing, otherwise need to wear covered skirt for a fee.. Recommended to bring small fan, drinks, and hat. Its streinuous trek up the stair, but then theres cute monkeys to look at and u will be greeted with cool breeze and big cave when reaching the top. Definitely one of the recommended activity to do

Unfortunately the place was closed when we visited Batu cave. In case it is opened when you visit, please ensure that you enter the dark cave because YOUR REAL ADVENTURE STARTS HERE. The entrance to the cave starts on the left hand side once you climb the steps to the temple.

Batu Caves stands as an unmissable icon of Kuala Lumpur, and thankfully, reaching this majestic landmark is incredibly straightforward. Forget the stress of navigating traffic or crowded buses; the train offers the most convenient, economical, and comfortable journey directly to its doorstep. Upon arrival, you'll be immediately captivated by the sheer scale of the golden Lord Murugan statue, a truly impressive sight, flanked by a collection of other vibrantly adorned temples. The famous, multi-hued steps leading up to the main cave are an experience in themselves, promising fantastic photo opportunities at every turn. What's more, there's no fixed entrance fee for the main cave and temple area, allowing visitors the freedom to contribute as they wish. While at Batu Caves, consider venturing into the Dark Cave. A ticket for non-Malaysians is RM15. There's typically a brief 15-minute wait before entering, which offers a perfect moment to prepare yourself at the entrance. You'll be equipped with a headlamp, and then it's simply a matter of following the designated path. My personal experience with the Dark Cave was a mixed bag. While it's certainly a cool respite from the heat and a decent activity, it didn't quite leave a lasting impression as "special." The sheer volume of visitors, combined with the natural presence of bats and their droppings, made it feel less like a pristine natural wonder and more like a well-trodden path. Although other creatures are mentioned at the entrance, I only encountered bats. However, the very end of the cave does offer a moment of beauty, with a striking beam of light piercing through the darkness. The staff were commendable, providing clear and helpful instructions, and it's wise to wear appropriate footwear as the cave floor can be a little slippery. Overall, it's a pleasant diversion and a good addition to your Batu Caves visit, but perhaps manage expectations regarding its unique "wow" factor.

The adventure tour was closed and nothing mentioned on the website. On google map it says open at 9:30 but they opened at 12 and they gave headlamps to tour ourselves. It took us 30 minutes from start to finish.

It’s a fine place to visit and learn some history about the Indian history in Malaysia. The place is also a home of native monkeys, they live conformably with the tourists and the temples and added attractions to place.

You have to get a ticket for visiting this, it will be a 45 mins of time for the entire trip in and out. It will be pitch dark at some points and in some it looks so beautiful. I decided to visit this place just after stepping out of Batu caves. They have age group from which they allow, so if your taking your children have a look at the clause before and plan accordingly. The guide with us was extremely comfortably with what he needs to explain us and she did a great job and everyone who were with me all unknown were happy that we took this up.

Pretty nice bonus after all the stairs up to the batu caves. While not cheap for a less than 1 hour tour, it is definitely unique and educational. Most of all, it is pretty scenic and exciting. If price doesn't feel too prohibitive, definitely worth a try.

Educational trip of the fauna and flora of the cave. The cave is completely dark. The price of trip is adult RM 35 and child (below 12 years) RM 25. The trip took about 40-45 minutes. Helmet and torch light is provided. A good place to explore the ecosystem.

Cheap entry, beautiful caves and a variety of wildlife. The birds seem well looked after, but didn't stay long in the reptile house as the enclosures are very small for the size if some of the reptiles.

I went in here after Batu Cave. It costs 5 malyasian money You started off walking through the pond area full of koi carp and cat fish. Small waterfall and temple design embedded into the rocks. After you enter the cave and walk through it. Many designs and statues of different gods and information about them. At the end if the reptile cave. No photos allowed. They have many snakes and lizards and different tortoise species. You can have a photo with the snake if you want. I didn't bother. These are very colorful designs and interesting things but it's a small place. I still think it was worth paying the extra 5 for entry. At the end, it is like a mini zoo with goats, birds, and peacocks. Also some shops and toilets for free rather than paying for them outside This is directly next to the main batu cave. You should go here after the main attraction. Plenty of space for car parking. I recommend hiring a guide for the day. They knew everyone about the place

This place is a disgrace, do not visit! The first part is nice, there is a small lake and some art on cave walls but at the back they have what they call a "reptile rescue centre". Animals are kept in tiny boxes, they have no space, no stimulation. Imagine keeping a turtle in your bathtub, that's basically it! One person will approach you and say "you want picture with snake?", look behind, those snakes are kept in tiny opaque container boxes. That's no rescue centre, that's just a place using reptiles to make money. They don't allow pictures in there, which is why you probably won't find many before visiting. Outside they are also keeping parrots to entertain tourists. Avoid, avoid avoid! Ps: it's a shame because those cave walls are actually interesting to see and worth the 5RM

Have given 1 star purely because the animal abuse that is carried out in this place. Small dirty enclosures, let these poor animals go back to their natural habitat. caves were ok but nothing spectacular would not return.

Animal abuse. I regrets buying tickets but at least I can share those pics. So many animals are kept in tiny cage or aquarium, some of them are completely alone. Taking photos is of course prohited (I wonder why) I only took couples but sooooo many animals are kept in terrible conditions it’s very sad.

A Sacred and Majestic Place for All Hindus As a Malaysian Hindu, Batu Caves holds a very special place in my heart. It’s not just a tourist attraction — it’s a sacred space where we come to pray, especially during Thaipusam, when thousands of devotees gather in devotion and faith. The giant statue of Lord Murugan is awe-inspiring, and climbing the 272 steps to reach the main temple cave always feels spiritual and purifying, no matter how many times I’ve done it. The atmosphere inside the cave is peaceful, and the natural limestone formations add to the divine beauty. During non-festival times, it’s much quieter, and I enjoy going there to light a lamp, offer prayers, and just sit quietly for a while. The monkeys are playful but can be cheeky, so best to stay mindful of your things. I’m always proud to see both Malaysians and international visitors showing respect and interest in our culture and religion. Whether you come to pray or just explore, Batu Caves is a true gem of Malaysia and a spiritual sanctuary for Hindus

The cave is beautiful and the fish pond is fun. But the animals showcase inside the cave is kinda frustrating. Turtles are kept in very small tanks. Clearly, they don't have enough space and they are suffering. This is not okay and they should let them free or make way better living conditions.

Next to the much more famous Batu Caves you can also visit the Ramayana Caves, for a not very high fee. They are more "commercial", more "Bollywood style", with lots of brightly painted statues and colored lights. But it is interesting and worth visiting, without a doubt. The ticket can be paid by card.

Did not intend to visit Ramayana Cave. Arrived at the Batu Caves and was ushered to turn left by some very sneaky men who didn’t actually speak, just ushering people along like directing a crowd. Found ourselves in a queue and paid 15 ringgit each to enter the caves. They are a perfect example of how man can turn something historically important into a really naff attraction. Filled with rubbish strip lighting made the experience feel tacky and not worthwhile. Would not visit again.

This place is a trap before you arrive at a Batu cave. After I left an exit at the train station. I thought this place was the batu cave. Paid for the entrance fee of 15 RM. So expensive compared with the view inside. Nature is beautiful by itself. Why did they decorate the cave like that. It's just like disco tech. With a poor colourful LED bar. The first thing i saw inside the cave was construction tools and materials.

Having visited the star attraction, Batu Caves, as well as the wonderful side attraction Cave Villa a couple of days ago, I made a separate trip specifically to visit the Cave devoted to Rama. All I can honestly say is this attraction was my favourite! Located immediately behind the train station, on your immediate left when exiting—you can't miss it as there's a huge colourful statue of Hanuman at the entrance. It's no exaggeration to say that once you enter the cave complex you probably wasn't expecting such a specular site. The story of Rama's life, how he endeavoured to rescue his wife Sita from the evil Lord Ravana, is told thorough a series of excellent (and fun) pictorial displays throughout (the statues look ceramic to me). But the real 'Wow' factor are the actual caves themselves. They are simply magnificent (and enormous). Expect some steep climbing up stairs to reach the upper levels. If you're a fan of caves expect extraordinary stalagmites, an impressive waterfall, as well as beautifully lit passage ways. If you're visiting Batu Caves for a half day excursion from KL be sure not to miss the Ramayana Cave as it will leave you with one of your highlights of KL! Entrance fee just under £3.

The only nice thing about this “sacred” place is when you leave. It probably had some meaning and significance back in the days but now it’s just a squalid version of a children theme park without the fun. No explanation, random psychedelic lights and the usual tourist traps around the place. Added benefit: the stink of sewage all around the area Avoid

I am not the person who likes man-made thing. This cave is decorated with so many LED lights and the cave itself has a lot of hand-written scratches or paintings. I am not so into the story along the cave path. 15MYR is a bit expensive comparing the experiences I have from the national museum which is only 5 MYR. Will never ever visit again.

Selayang Stadium is decent for sports and exercise, with an open space and okay track. Parking is mostly outside and requires crossing the road (free on Sundays, paid on weekdays). Toilets could be cleaner, but still convenient for casual workouts

Good facilities, coming here for watching MSSS but beware of parking, you only allowed to park for max 2 hours. Pay summon on the same day, cost me RM10, fair enough.

Please user, recheck the location first. Last time check stadium selayang located in puncak alam. Wattahek.

Decent facilities despite it's horrifying toilet. Enough said

Excellent

Ok, near area mps already got a lot of stalls and shops.crowded and hard to parking

Visited the Batu Caves back in February, so visited statue and temple while here. This statue of Hanuman is a 15 metre high sculpture. The depiction looks about about standard for the monkey god. While the size is impressive, it’s also painted in a garish green. The sculpture is located immediately to the left of the gated entrance of the Batu Cave complex. Worth a look if you’re visiting the Batu Caves.

It is just next to Batu cave and it can also be considered as entrance for Ramayan Museum where there are all statue work done for explaining Ramayan. Also there is big statue of Lord Narayan giving Gita_saar to arjun just before Mahabharata.

Cute statues just by the exit if Batu station! Before you see Batu Cave’s huge statue you would see it if you take train to this cave. Green animal face god!! Enjoy!!
