Locals & tourists alike enjoy visiting the area for views of the confluence of the river & also of the Masjid Jamek Mosque (recognised as the oldest Islamic place of worship in Kuala Lumpur).
*E-STAYS TIP*
- Visit at night for the pretty lights.
- Or visit during the day & wander around as the area is in close proximity to surrounding attractions such as: Central Market, Petaling Street / Chinatown, Sri Mahamariamman Temple, Sin Sze Si Ya Temple, KL Forest Eco Park & more!

Temples
It isn't hard to believe that Batu Caves is one of KL’s most frequented tourist attractions.
A limestone hill comprising three major caves (and a number of smaller ones), located approximately 11 kilometres to the north of Kuala Lumpur - this 100yr old temple features idols and statues erected inside the main caves and around it.
The limestone formations are said to be around 400 million years old & the temple is considered an important religious landmark by Hindus.
*E-STAYS TIPS*
- Unless you don't mind renting a sarong at the bottom of the cave, be sure to wear long pants that fall below your knees.
- Store food & drink away as the monkeys are ruthless & will grab anything they deem as edible!
- Go early or later as the afternoon sun can be intense for those who aren't used to climbing steep flights of stairs.
