Experience description:
Stop at Batik Workshop & showroom to see how batik is designed and printed.
Next, head to the iconic limestone hills of Batu Caves, where your professional guide will provide insightful commentary before you explore the site independently. The complex features three main caverns and several smaller caves, each steeped in spiritual and cultural significance.
As you ascend the 272 steps, pass the towering 43-meter (140-foot) golden statue of Lord Murugan, the tallest of its kind in the world. Inside, discover a sacred cave shrine adorned with vivid murals and statues that bring Hindu scripture to life. Keep an eye out for the playful macaques that inhabit the lush cliffside surroundings.

Recommendations and reviews
Our guide was fabulous. We were picked up from the hotel promptly and he was very informative.
A pleasant excursion to the Batu caves and temples, with a brief visit to the batik workshop. The luxury bus picked us up at our hotel, and our guide Melvin provided entertaining and interesting information throughout the journey.
It’s pretty much just a bus to drop you at the caves and then a v short visit to a shop
it's beautiful
The tour guide knows the place and its history very well.
I wish we could have had a little more time at the caves. I would have been ok getting picked up earlier to have a bit more time there.
Good organization, the guide was very good. The site is beautiful, good value for money.
Great tour with a very friendly guide who gave us lots of information about Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur 😊
