Batu Caves

About

Visit the Batu Caves, one of Malaysia’s famous landmarks. Walk up 272 steps to reach the entrance, where monkeys often gather and a large golden statue of Lord Murugan stands 140 ft (43 m) tall. Inside, see the limestone chamber with high ceilings and Hindu shrines carefully decorated. A professional English-speaking driver guide will share the history and cultural importance of this site before you enter. You can then look around the area at your own pace. Your tour also stops at a batik workshop. Watch how traditional Malaysian batik textiles are made, using wax and dye, either by printing or by hand-drawing.
