Batu Caves In Kuala Lumpur

A home for Lord Murugan away from the Himalayas

Tourism in Kuala Lumpur

Rated 4.30/5 ( based on 687 reviews )

Batu Cave Temple, Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia)

Batu Caves is a series of caves in the limestone hill that takes its name from the Sungai Batu (Stone River) which flows past the hill. One of the most famous and frequently visited Hindu shrines in Kuala Lumpur, Batu Caves is a temple dedicated to Lord Murugan, also known as Kartikeya (the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati). This cave has four main attractions: Temple Cave, Cave Villa, Dark Cave, and Ramayana Cave. The most famous cave is the Temple Cave that houses many Hindu Shrines under its High Vaulted Ceiling and is the largest cave in the limestone hill.

History of Batu Caves:

According to its history, the caves were used by the local Temuan people as shelter and in 1860 it was the Chinese settlers that excavated guano for fertilizing their crops. The Limestone hills were recorded by the colonial officials Syers and Naturalist William Hornaday in 1878. The limestone formations are said to be as much as 400 million years old and it was the Vel shaped entrance of the main cave that inspired the Indian trader, K. Thamboosamy Pillai to install the idol of Lord Murugan in the now ‘Temple Cave’ in 1890. At the entrance of the Batu Caves Temple stands the 140 ft. statue of Lord Murugan, the tallest statue in the world dedicated to the deity, erected during the year of 2006. Batu Caves is now one of the major Hindu pilgrimage sites in the world.

Festival of Thaipusam:

The Batu Caves Temple is the main site of the annual Hindu festival of Thaipusam, a festival important to the Tamil population of Asia celebrated since 1892 at this holy site, attracting thousands of visitors every year. During this festival, some devotees choose to pierce their bodies in lieu of an act of penance. Though, the festival often held at the end of the January month, its procession begins one evening before the festival at the Sri Mariamman Temple in Kuala Lumpur City Centre. And, the entire celebration of this colorful event lasts for around eight hours.  

Batu Caves is a limestone formation of three major caves and a number of other smaller caves. Formatted around 400 million years ago by limestone formations, these caves are said to be an important religious landmark by the Hindus. This is amongst the top-notch attractions in Malaysia, especially for the Indian tourists.

    Rahul's 8 days trip to Kuala Lumpur

    Had good experience, every things are planned in good manner except Langkawi Island Tour. all pickup and drops are on time and the representatives are present with our name plates. Overall recommended. we have booked all transfers and sightseeing of Penang, Langkawi, Kuala Lumpur and Genting. Only Langkawi Full Day Round Island Tour was changed to Half Day City Tour(Which was disappointing) Otherwise this had good experience with M/s Travel Triangle and M/s Satguru Travels(Agent). Yes we will suggest for future travels ..

    Sujeeth's 6 days trip to Kuala Lumpur

    14 days ago
    Firstly great job done by sumith. Thanks for the good price quote by Satguru Holidays very reasonable and all the properties were five star. Our trip was for 5 nights and 6 days, two nights in lankawi at hotel bay view. The hotel staff was also very helpful and friendly. They gave us early check-in and upgraded our room from hill view to sea view wch had a very beautiful view. And coming to the place mainly climate is very nice daily atleast for half an hour u'll have a rainfall. Places to visit are chanang beach most happening beach there u can find everything and it's open all the night. U can find many duty-free shops in the city it's very cheap compared to airport. It's best place for shopping in Malaysia. Third day we were transferred to kaula Lumpur and the hotel provided was Double tree by Hilton. This was a very huge property and our room was is 23rd floor and had a twin tower view wch was awesome. But they charged 15000 extra for that view for two nights. Kaula Lumpur is a concrete jungle lot of high rise buildings and lot of traffic jam in peak hrs . places to visit are The food street was very gud with all types of seafood,KLCC Tower, Kings Palace, Petronas towers(twin towers), and KLCC shopping mall wch is very huge and all international brands are available. There is a Chennai street where u can find Indian food. But very difficult for vegetarians. Breakfast was very good at Hilton. 5th day we were transferred to Genting Highlands, on the way we had a stop at murgan temple where there is a huge statue of Lord murgan. From there we went to hotel Awana this was also a five star hotel but it is very old, no wifi in room and no room service. (This hotel is suitable for senior citizens or honeymoon couples) After check in we went to Genting Highlands through cable car 3.5km in 20min wch was very gud experience. In Genting we went to first World (Indore theam park) food was not so great but cassino was very huge and it was nice. Next day evening we check out and back to India. Once again thanks a lot to travel triangle and satguru Holidays especially sumit for a memorable trip.

    FAQ's of Kuala Lumpur

    Read on to find out why our customers love us!

    What is the dress code for visiting the temple?

     

    To pay respect to the place of worship as well as the worshippers, one must wear decent clothes in the temple premises. One must wear a sarong and a sash also.

    Can I wear shorts to Batu Caves?

    Since Batu Caves is a place of worship, it is advisable not to wear shorts, short skirts, or even low cut tops.

    What type of monkeys can be found at Batu Caves?

    During a visit to Batu Caves, one can get acquainted with the long-tailed macaques, also referred as Batu Caves monkeys, which are a frequent sight at this temple of Malaysia.   

    Is clicking photographs allowed?

     

    Yes. Tourists are allowed to take pictures.

    Any other things I must know?

    You absolutely cannot bring food with you while climbing the steps as it sets you up for a rather unpleasant date with the monkeys. The caves are a no smoking area and you’re also not allowed to spit. Pets are not allowed at the caves. And in case you feel like answering the call of nature, you better bring your own toilet paper.
