The highlight of our KL trip!! A must see and so beautiful! A huge Lord Muragan statue stands outside the long staircase up to the Caves. The stairs are narrow but beautifully coloured. You can take your time walking up and down the stairs and there are handrails for support. The stairs are full of monkeys but they do not interact with you unless you annoy them. Really worth the visit and can spend as long as you want exploring!

We chose a private driver over a set tour which ensured we could stay as long or as little as we liked. The caves are amazing but the climb up is not for the faint hearted (or those with knee problems). A really cultural experience and the caves are just amazing. Remember to wear long pants and to cover shoulders. A definite must see place to visit in KL

Quite a climb up those steps and the views were amazing. Many monkeys trying to steal anything that looked like it may have food inside. Lovely ambience. Many tourists and therefore many trinkets for sale.

Something to do only to say you’ve done it. The place was really dirty and smelly whist we were here. We were constantly approached by people trying to sell us things and one lady wouldn’t accept being told no and kept trying to place a necklace on my son. He was honestly very scared. The monkeys you encounter whilst climb will approach you. These are nothing compared to those located in the section at the open section of the cave. Here they were absolutely feral. Attacking people and stealing anything they could. My children were screaming and we lasted mere seconds. I did find it funny that you’re told not to go into that section with food yet they were selling ice creams and drinks within the cave.

Nice view when you re outside and the cave itself looks nice. The whole cave smells terrible though and there s garbage all over the place. The monkeys are the real highlight here.

Be prepared for a good walk and climb. Batu caves is about 30 minutes drive from KL. On the way to Getting Highland, it was our first spot. Wonderful mountain, big Hindu Statue, many souvenir shops, photographers, juice stalls mainly coconuts and a lot of monkeys. Climbing 272 steps to reach to the top is not easy, but worth a visit. Thinking this place is for bats (Batu ?) but didn’t find any, possibly because it’s congested with Hindu believers, visitors and others.

Located only about a 30-minute drive away from Kl, Batu Caves is a must-visit place in Malaysia. It is free to enter the main temple. The cave complex is one of the most popular Hindu shrines outside India. Climbing the 272 steps to the temple is well worth it.

This was hard to rate. The Batu Caves are a geological wonder, but the Hindu stuff got in the way of viewing the impressive stalagmites. The focus should be on 1) preserving geological structures like stalagmites, which are sensitive to acids in the skin and the smoke from the constant camphor/incense burning. I didn't see anyone touching the formations but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. 2) preservation of native plant and animal species. Lastly, the area around the caves is dirty and there's no approaching the mountain from the outside because it's surrounded by private property. All in all, the cave chambers are impressive but filled with corny stuff that takes away from the experience, the dark cave is still closed and neighborhood is a filthy bland business and residential sprawl. I give the caves 5 stars and religious tourism two.

I know this place is highly recommended, however, the place can present itself much better. I do like the monkeys around and how playful they are. The stunning statue was a sight to see. The colorful steps were fun to walk on. The nearby temple gives solace and comfort to people who needed to pray. I think this place can be cleaner as it does smell. Considering this is a sacred place, management needs to do a better job to ensure that this place presents itself as sacred.

Always enjoy a trip to the caves. Need to be fit to walk up steps-just a warning! Bring a drink. Gets very busy with pilgrims and tourists so earlier you can arrive the better.The monkeys are very entertaining but can also take what ever you have in your hand/bag so beware. Ladies, must wear clothing to cover your knees but you can buy a scarf there if your forget. You can visit other parts of the cave system but this is not well advertised. Lots of taxis touting for business and a train station across the road which will get you back to the centre of KL so plenty of options.

The Batu Caves is a vibrant destination that left my children mesmerized by its colorful temples. The stunning hues and intricate details truly captivated their imagination. However, as someone who had visited years ago, I couldn't help but wish they could experience the original version. Nonetheless, the Batu Caves remains a must-visit attraction, offering a unique blend of spirituality and visual splendor that will leave you in awe. Just remember to cherish the memories of the past while creating new ones in this enchanting place.

Batu Caves is a must see visit for a person who follows the Hindu religion when visiting KL. To get to the temple u have to climb about 297 steps. Pretty easy to get to the temple by Taxi

I love this place, love the people of this place, love the scenery and atmosphere here. I'm so happy that our whole family is here together.

This was an unforgettable experience although it was quite dirty with lots of litter everywhere which kind of ruins it for me

Batu Caves is one of must-visits when you are in Kuala Lumpur. It takes 20-25 minutes from Bukit Bintang and costs 16 MYR by Grab. We could get Grab easily in 5 minutes. Caves themselves are located at middle of hill, therefore you climbed colorful steps to get into caves. There are a log of monkeys when we climbed to caves. As we went there at 8:30AM, it isn't so hot. I recommend to be there in the early morning or late evening since there is no sun shade over the steps.
