We made our own way to this attraction which is free to enter. We paid approx £3.50 in a grab to get there from center of KL. it’s about 30mins from KL beautiful colours and caves. Also you can pay extra (approx 88p) to go in art gallery which was worth it. There are a lot of steps (we found easy but we are fit people) but you can make your way up them leisurely. There are lots of pigeons and monkeys. Generally monkeys don’t bother you unless get too close or have food. So don’t take any food with you.

Easy to get there, took a Grab there and a train back. Didn't have to pay for anything unless you wanted to go into the temple or art gallery. They said they had a dress code, but I saw some people ignore that and still get inside. Avoid the monkeys. The steps weren't too hard, there were more steps inside the caves. Go early to avoid the crowds, it also gives you more space to take photos and get up those steps.

Pulling up to the Batu caves is a 'wow' moment. The fabulous gold idol towering above everything and the wonderfully colourful steps really entice you in. The caves are free to enter but you must cover your knees and there are sarongs available if you need one. The climb to the cave wasn't too bad (we are in our 40's and not overly fit!) but we managed ok, it was great to see the monkeys running about trying to steal food from people ,they are very cheeky! The large cave itself is a sight to behold and inside there are temples and places of worship, which were being actively used. Outside there are some more impressive statues and a couple of souvenir stalls. The whole place is a photographers heaven! I have only given 4 stars as unfortunately the place was dirty, loads of litter everywhere and not many places to put any rubbish. However we were glad we visited and got some stunning photos.

We took a Grab car both to and from the Caves. I was surprised though with quickly getting a Grab taxi for the ride back into KL but it saved so much time versus the train. Costs from the Bukit Bintang area was 16MYR to but return was 32MYR. From the road it was a short five minute walk to the base of the stairs. We passed a few sellers who left us alone but the guy selling pigeon food was completely surrounded by pigeons so we gave them a wide space. Bathrooms were off of the right and appeared to be newly constructed. A small admission fee, 50 sen, was paid to the person in front. They also offered showers as well for 1 MYR. We did see the monkeys but they left too also left us alone as we avoided walking near them, carried nothing in our hands except for our phones and did not try to look at or engage them. At the base of the stairs my wife took out her long scarf since she was wearing shorts. One of the women who were checking for compliance was very nice to show us how to properly wrap and tie the scarf and it stayed in place the entire time. Thanks! The most stunning view was from the entrance with the hundreds of colorful steps and the tallest Marugan statue to the right. Unfortunately as we climbed there was some trash on the steps like water bottles and wrappers. Considering this was such an important site one would have thought people would have more respect. Once to the top of the outside stairs, we entered the largest cave and passed by the main temple. Other smaller altars or statues along with shops selling offerings were also seen inside. Another set of stairs led to another smaller cave and temple. Both caves were dimly lit and moisture seepage pooled on the floor in numerous spots. Openings at the top of the caves let some light filter in and made for some nice photos. Some areas were used for storage of stuff but they could have done a better job of hiding or organizing it so it wasn’t so haphazard. Do come early if you can as it was nice having the place to our selves. As we left, the bus loads of tourists started entering the main temple and there were so many and loud!

Get there early to beat the heat and humidity. We arrived around 8:30am via Grab. Wear sensible footwear as the steps are narrow. Make sure you visit the other temples/ caves not just the main one. You don’t need more than 2 hours. There are cafes and shops to buy food and water

You can combine Batu Cave and Genting Highlands in one day. We took a Grab ride from our place in KL. The ride took us less than 30 minutes. Bring your own bottled water as you will surely get thirsty as you climb the long stairs going up to the cave. Wear your most comfortable shoes as you will surely be needing them as you go up and down the long flight of stairs. Entrance free and remember to secure your belongings. A trip to Genting Highlands after Batu Cabe is a must. You can take a Grab ride at the entrance of Batu Cave.

We took a Grab from central KL which was a couple of £. Went early, arriving at just gone 8am to avoid the heat and crowds. Really glad we did that as I can imagine the crowds would be busy given the buses arriving as we left. We stayed just over an hour. The main temple is free but we also visit an art gallery which you had to pay for 10 RM per adult. The are monkeys everywhere, and they are not scared of humans. I didn’t like them and one went for my son. The stairs and the statues are something else and quite a site. It’s a shame there is so much litter, and some monkeys even eating a plastic carrier 😢 As we went early I think we missed most of the people mentioned in other reviews trying to sell stuff. So defo recommend getting up and going early for a quieter experience. Took a Grab back.

Went there reasonably early 9.30 am. Was busy already but not too bad . Enjoyed the climb up stairs watching the monkeys . Inside cave spectacular with its adorned deities. Paved floor makes it easy walking . Free admission but I put 20 ringgit into donations box. At base level saw a side tour through ground level caves and bird/fish on display. Well worth the very cheap entry and bonus Indian dance display. Nice to sit in the shade for 15 mins and watch that. Only negative is the rubbish. Plastic bottles and food wrappers everywhere. So much effort into painting and decorating all the adornments and the spoilt by trash.

Firstly, arrive early so that u can beat the heat and crowd. It's open nearly by 7:30pm. Second thing dress code. Below knees and shoulders are covered both for men and women. Third, u need to climb 272 steps. Fourth, watch out for monkey. Never feed or eat in front of one. Five explore inside caves. Once you step inside, be careful when u look up. Bats are flying overhead. Be careful with u thing their is pickpocketing. Men keep ur wallet in front . If women carry a side bag/ cross bag, be careful with it.

WOW, the second time I saw this magnificent temple of course a must-see when in Kuala Lumpur. A morning view is a must as mid-day is too hot to climb the stairs. Make the effort to climb them and don't forget the ones at the top, to view the small temple in the centre of the cave. I would suggest a tour guide as once you are finished can do a city tour. My guide was like a national geographic, he knew everything about everything.
