At the historical site Batu Caves, admire the 42-metre tall golden statue of the Hindu god Murugan and watch devotees pay homage to their respective deities at temple sites set within limestone caves. It is the tallest statue of a Hindu deity in Malaysia and the second tallest statue of a Hindu deity in the world.
Batu Caves is a limestone hill that has a series of caves and cave temples in Gombak, Selangor, Malaysia. It takes its name from the Malay word batu, meaning ‘rock’. The hill was originally known as Kapal Tanggang from the legend of Si Tanggang. The town nearby is named after the Batu Caves limestone formation.
The Batu Caves is the last stop (8 stops from KL Sentral to Batu Caves) and from there, the entrance is just a few minutes away on foot. KL Sentral is connected to almost everywhere in down town Kuala Lumpur either by Mono Rail or by Metro so you can easily get there from your hotel (and back) without any hassle.
