Batu Caves
Only 13 kilometres from Kuala Lumpur's central business district and just
outside the city limits, these famous caverns are easily accessible. The main
Temple Cave has a ceiling looming over 100metres overhead, and features ornate
Hindu shrines. To reach it one has to climb a steep flight of 272 steps, a feat
performed by as many as 100,000 devotes during the annual Thaipusam festival.
