Batu Caves

"On your last day in KL go to Batu Caves. Skip all those day tours to Batu Caves you find online and get a Grab instead. You'll get to Batu Caves in just a 20-30 minute Grab ride and it only set you back about €3-€5. It’s amazing how affordable rides are in Malaysia, thanks in part to the low fuel prices. *Remember to dress appropriately. You’ve got to cover your shoulders and knees – if you’re not prepared, they make you buy a sarong for 15RM. The climb up to the temple is a long, vibrant staircase leading right into the heart of a limestone cliff. It’s a bit of a workout with the heat, but worth it. Inside, you’ll find a Hindu temple carved into the cave. Watch out for the monkeys! They’re cute but cheeky, and they’re not shy about grabbing food right out of your hand – I saw one swipe ice cream from a little kid! A heads-up for when you’re inside the temple: you’ll need to take off your shoes. The floor inside is wet and pretty dirty, so you might want to bring along some foot covers. When you’re ready to head back, skip the taxis waiting outside. I heard they can overcharge. Your best bet is to grab another Grab ride. And try to visit the caves before 3pm to avoid the traffic jams that can build up later in the day.

"wake up early morning to visit the colorful Batu Caves !The Batu Caves are easy to reach by Grab Taxi (about 10/15 mins from che city centre). If you can, try to avoid a visit during weekends and public holidays. Before you go: women have to cover shoulders and knees"

"Best to come as early as possible to avoid the crowds and the heat. Make sure to dress appropriately, cover your shoulders and legs above the knees, and bring a scarf just in case. "
