Visit one of the nation’s most cherished shrines at the Batu Caves and witness the creation of traditional crafts during stops at the Royal Selangor Pewter factory.
- Batu Caves - Batu Caves is a limestone hill featuring a series of caves and cave temples in Gombak, Selangor. The limestone forming Batu Caves is estimated to be around 400 million years old. Some cave entrances were historically used as shelters by the indigenous Temuan people (a tribe of Orang Asli).
The limestone hills of Batu Caves comprise three main caverns and several smaller caves. It is the shrine of Lord Murugah, a Hindu deity, and a flight of 272 steps leads up to the temple cave. Another cave, known as the museum cave, is filled with images of deities and murals depicting scenes from Hindu scriptures.
