Only 13 kilometres from Kuala Lumpur's central business district and just outside the city limits, these famous caverns have a main Temple Cave with a ceiling looming over 100 metres overhead, and features ornate Hindu shrines. To reach it one has to climb a steep flight of 272 steps, a feat performed by as many as 500,000 Hindu devotes during the annual 'Thaipusam' festival.
