Batu Caves, located in Selangor 13km north of Kuala Lumpur, are one of the most popular tourist destinations in Malaysia. There are three main caves and a few smaller ones that constitute Selangor's Batu Caves. These ancient caves attract archaeologists and tourists from all parts of the world.
The Temple Cave houses a shrine of the Hindus who form an integral part of the Malaysian culture. A major attraction of the Batu Caves is the Dark Cave that is a network of untouched caverns and is renowned for its wonderful rock formation. The stalactites on the ceiling of the cave and the stalagmites rising from the floor form wonderful intrinsic formations like cave pearls, flow stones, scallops and cave curtains. The Art Gallery Cave of the Batu Caves of Selangor has excellent displays of statues and paintings of Hindu deities. Traveling to the Batu Caves entrance through a lake and ponds filled with colorful fish is a wonderful experience. The caves are significant not only as tourist attractions but are also major pilgrimage destinations of Malaysia. During the Hindu festival of Thaipusam, a large procession in which a chariot bearing an image of Lord Murugan, accompanied by drums and music, is taken out from Sri Mahamariaman Temple in downtown Kuala Lumpur to the Temple Cave of Selangor's Batu Caves. On your Selangor tours, a visit to these magnificent caves is a must.
