Private Tour: Batu Caves and Temple Afternoon Tour from Kuala Lumpur
After pickup from your Kuala Lumpur hotel, take a short drive through the Brickfields neighborhood, known as Little India. Explore this colorful community before continuing to the highlight of your tour, spectacular Batu Caves.
This massive limestone outcrop features an impressive cavernous interior home to figures of Hindu deities. You may see friendly monkeys hanging around the entrance before making your way up the 272 steps; it may be a feat, but it's well worth it -- it's the surefire way to fully appreciate the temple in all its glory. Your guide will explain why many Hindus consider Batu Caves one of Malaysia's most sacred places.
