Whenever most people talk about Batu Caves, it is almost always in reference to its famous Hindu temple, the 272 steps you’d need to climb to get to the main entrance of the cave, and the giant statue of Lord Murugan located at the foot of the hill.

But Batu Caves is definitely more than all that. It is also a natural wonder, a limestone tower karst with over 20 caves found within.
