Kuala Lumpur Batu Caves Travel Guide | With LRT Route
If you have a passion for colors, the Batu Caves are not to be missed! The rainbow stairs here are far more attractive to people than the Batu Caves themselves, drawing crowds of tourists every day. Honestly, if you love colors, the Batu Caves are undoubtedly a must-visit!
After all, these caves are located on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, and most of the existing guides simply direct you to take a taxi there. I also spent 17 Malaysian Ringgit to get there by Grab taxi. However, when I was ready to take a taxi back, I unexpectedly discovered that there is an LRT train station here. You can easily commute by taking the KTM Seremban line light rail train (line 1 on the rail map), which is not only affordable but also avoids the hassle of traffic jams in the city. Here is the specific travel plan for everyone:
🚆 At the departure hall of KL Sentral station, buy a ticket at the KTM Komuter area through the self-service machine, or at the ticket window, with Batu Caves (Batu Caves) as the destination, which costs 2.6 Malaysian Ringgit.
🚞 After buying the ticket, scan the QR code on the ticket to enter the station, then follow the signs to platform 5 to wait for the train. This platform is dedicated to going to Batu Caves.
🛤 Take the train for 8 stops and arrive at the terminal station Batu Caves. After exiting the station, just follow the crowd, and you will reach the entrance about 300 meters away.
❤️ Warm tips:
Seats on the LRT are not assigned, so feel free to sit anywhere. The carriages are relatively cool and clean.
The train departure intervals vary between 30 to 60 minutes depending on the time of day, and you can check the departure times on Google Maps in advance.
The front of the train is the ladies' carriage, so gentlemen, make sure you don't get on the wrong train.
The train passes through Kuala Lumpur station, where you can also board.
💚 Special tips:
Ladies must wear knee-length pants or long skirts, otherwise, you will have to buy a scarf on the spot for 15 Malaysian Ringgit.
Don't tease the monkeys when climbing the stairs, and keep an eye on your bags.
Batu Caves is the limestone outcropping which has a Hindu Temple, situated in Gombak, Selangor.There has a gigantic colossal gold-painted statue of Murugan, made from reinforced concrete and 140 feet (42.7 metres) in height, stands near the base of a flight of 272 colourful steps. There have numerous of pigeons and monkeys around.
Half an hour drive from Petronas Towers is this amazing place. Take stairs to go up and there is cave inside of hill. Another stairs bring you to one more cave without roof.
Amazing Views at Batu CavesIt is the highest stairs I climbed. The 272 steps really makes you sweat and breathless. Stopping every 20 stepsis a must for me😁. But its all worth it upstairs. It is really amazing. A must visit place.
Batu Caves is conveniently located near Kuala Lumpur, about 20 min drive from city centre. very beautiful rainbow stairs, and magnificent golden statue.
Interesting attraction, would recommend if you have never been there. Tons of stairs so be prepared to sweat. Girls are required to cover up till the knees and they will force you to buy a scarf for 15RM if you don’t, so come ready.
Stunning!
