Batu Caves, Hindu temple in Malaysia
Batu Caves is a limestone hill that has a series of caves and cave temples in Gombak, Selangor, Malaysia.
The caves were used as shelters by the indigenous Temuan people (a tribe of Orang Asli).
It takes its name from the Sungai Batu or Batu River, which flows past the hill. The site is also well known for its numerous macaque monkeys, which visitors feed — sometimes involuntarily.
The 272-step climb to the main cave temple can be physically demanding, especially during hot weather.
Every year, during the Hindu festival of Thaipusam, hundreds of thousands of devotees and visitors flock here.
