The climb and the cave

One of the attractions at Batu Caves is the challenging climb up the steep flight of colorful stairs leading to the main cave. 272 steps until the top, but the reward is a breathtaking view. Inside the cave, you ' ll find Hindu shrines and a high ceiling that opens up to the sky. It ' s a beautiful cave you must see for yourself.

Monkeys in Batu Caves

There are monkeys everywhere as you climb the steep staircase. It ' s a unique way to see monkeys up close, however, I recommend you keep a distance and avoid feeding them or interacting too much. Even though they are used to the human presence, they are still wild animals.

Visiting the Batu Caves is totally worth it and you should add it to your Kuala Lumpur itinerary. You get to explore beautiful caves, stand beside the world ' s third-tallest Hindu statue, and see lots of monkeys up close.
