Despite Kuala Lumpur’s bustling core, you don’t have to travel far to reach a bit of nature. Just 15 kilometres from the city centreare the limestone hills known as Batu Caves, which house numerous temples within their various cavities. Here you’ll bear witness to the tallest Murugan statue in the world rising to a shimmering 42.7 metres with its gold-plated exterior. You can also climb the 272 steps to lead you to the scared Hindu shrine at the top of the hill.
