Located in a limestone outcropping 15km north of Kuala Lumpur, Batu Caves is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Selangor. This famous destination draws people from all over the world during the annual Hindu festival, Thaipusam.

It consists of three big caves, including the main-temple cave which features ornate Hindu shrines. Scaling the 272 steps leading up to the main-temple cave is one of the highlights of a visit to Batu Caves. Nearby is the Ramayana Cave where evocative scenes of Indian epic myths are artistically painted along its walls. This massive limestone hill is also a popular spot for rock climbing.
