Things To Do In Kuala Lumpur
Batu Caves, nestled on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, is a captivating ensemble of Hindu temples ensconced within limestone caves and their surroundings. These four main caves hold both historical significance and natural wonder. The steep-sided mogote, formed from limestone dating back approximately 400 million years, adds to the allure of this iconic site. At the heart of Batu Caves stands the majestic 140-foot-tall statue of Lord Murugan, the world’s tallest.
