Come Visit the BATU Caves of Malaysia!

Get ready to enjoy this magical place right in the heart of Malaysia. These incredible limestone caves are inside a massive hill and are the home of many Hindu temples that honour the Hindu god Lord Murugan. The Malay word batu means 'rock' and this is one huge rock! Be prepared to climb up 272 colourful steps to the top cave temple. It is like walking on a giant rainbow!

The History of the Caves

The series of caves are about 400 million years old. Local tribes once used them as shelters. In 1890, a leader of the Indian community created a temple to Lord Murugan within the caves. Today, there are many temples with statues of Hindu gods.

Meet the Monkeys!

On the way up, you may meet some new animal friends. The Batu Cave monkeys are everywhere and cheeky, and perhaps grab a snack from a friendly tourist.

The Temples

With 140 feet, the statue of the Hindu god Lord Murugan guards the entrance of the caves. Wrapped in gold with his mighty spear, the statue is quite a site! Inside the caves, there are various temples that honour Hindu gods. There is even a museum and art gallery cave full of Hindu paintings and statues. Visitors can explore the peaceful and beautifully lit caves of this magical underground world for hours.
