An interesting place, a must visit! The caves are very close to the station, just 5-7 minutes on foot. The most distinctive feature is the 272 multi-colored steps. But they pass easily, in one go. There are beautiful views of natural caves and temples inside! There are souvenir shops nearby. There are a couple of shops with snacks and drinks downstairs. Be careful - there are a lot of monkeys everywhere. They are so arrogant that they snatch drinks, ice cream, etc. out of their hands. If you don't want to be left without valuables, hide them away.
Try to find out in advance the timetable of the commuter train (metro, trains) to the Batu caves station, because it runs once an hour. I didn't even have time to sit at the station for an hour, waiting for the next one. If you are traveling with transfers, and not using a direct metro line, then purchase a ticket only by card!
It's very dirty and there are crowds of people. This is only possible on a public holiday. From the train there is a path through the market, strewn with garbage. Very loud music from the speaker. When they reached the stairs, they decided not to even go up. I do not recommend visiting this place on a public holiday.

Cool monkeys, beautiful mountain. But I didn't like the atmosphere of the place. There are two more paid caves, I think there is no point in going to them. It is convenient to take the metro from Kuala Lumpur, rather it is not even a metro, but like a metro station / commuter train in Moscow. We were leaving the railway station, which is located next to the Negara Mosque. The train runs 10 times a day, the frequency depends on the loading time. Two hours is enough to visit, we were in the afternoon, there are few people. Carefully with things, monkeys can take away, they stole the girl's passport from us, then everyone tried to exchange it for food.
