These limestone caves are 400 million years old. It is not just about the 272 steps and the Hindu temples at Temple Cave, it is also a Dark Cave where visitors can explore the fascinating cave ecosystem. The world’s tallest Lord Muruga Statue with the height of 42.7m (130 feet high) is located here. Second destination is, Selayang Hot Spring or local name "Kolam Air Panas".

We had a wonderful time. Ayyanar was amazing- very knowledgeable, patient and friendly beyond belief. I sent the tour link to my parents straight away and told them to request Ayyanar for their tour also. Thank you, Ayynar, for a great afternoon!
Had a great tour with Sathia yesterday. She was a wealth of knowledge about the Caves and KL in general. We would recommend a tour with her for anyone.
My colleagues and I had a short afternoon to explore before our flights, so I booked a half-day tour through Viator. The experience was seamless from the start, with prompt, attentive communication. Our driver, Sathia, was fantastic—flexible, fun, and more like a friend than a guide. She adapted easily to our limited time and shifting attention, offering great options, keeping us informed, and gently keeping us on track. She shared local history and took us to a Batik studio, a true highlight. We felt well-guided, never rushed. Highly recommend for a warm, personalized, and memorable Kuala Lumpur experience.
Great waterfall hiking and swimming adventure, awesome batu caves, excellent accommodating and patient tour driver 🙂
We had a great trip. Lawrence was really knowledgable and interesting and explained the history behind Batu caves and the culture and celebrations linked to them. We then had a fun dip in the waterfalls and got to explore around the falls.
Great experience, definitely a must-see regardless of weather Ayyanar was a wonderful and very caring guide that made the trip unforgettable by teaching us a lot about the places visited as well as Malaysia overall We're leaving the trip thankful and a bit more knowledgeable, Roxanne and David
A very good day at the waterfall and Batu Caves with a bonus visit to the batik gallery. Captain Lawrence was a very good guide and very knowledgeable we saw and learned a lot about the culture in KL
Jacop our driver was on time at our hotel, very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Malaysia. Very safe driver and always ensuring we were happy with everything we did.
Tour guide did not show up. The tour agency kept us waiting for 40 minutes until they agreed to a refund.
We had a great tour together with Aru. Lots of information about the sights and the City and a fantastique half day family outing.
