Arts & Culture
This complex of giant limestone caves houses temples that have been drawing Hindu pilgrims for more than 120 years. The caves are now one of Malaysia’s most iconic sights and holiest Hindu shrines. Popular with monkeys as much as people, the caves are always a colourful (some might say joyfully tacky) place to visit, and never more so than in late January or early February when hundreds of thousands of pilgrims converge during the three-day Thaipusam festival. To get there, board the train at Dang Wangi LRT station and disembark at KL Sentral station. From there, switch to KTM (another rail operator), and get off at Batu Caves station. Batu Caves should be right across the road.
