Kuala Lumpur & Batu Caves

Kuala Lumpur is the capital city and a federal territory of Malaysia. The city serves as the cultural, financial, tourism, political and economic centre of Malaysia. Kuala Lumpur has undergone rapid development in recent decades and is home to the tallest twin buildings in the world, the Petronas Towers, which have since become an iconic symbol of Malaysian development.

Batu Caves is a 325-m tall mogote with a series of limestone caves. It is located about 13 km north of the capital city of Kuala Lumpur. The cave complex contains many Hindu temples, the most popular of which is a shrine dedicated to the deity Murugan. It is the focal point of the Tamil Hindu festival of Thaipusam in Malaysia. The complex also hosts a 43 m (141 ft) high Murugan statue, one of the largest Murugan statues in the world.
