The Experience
Before You Go
Pack a small day bag
Keep passports, flight info and a water bottle in an easy-to-reach bag since the stop at Batu Caves is only one hour.
Wear closed-toe shoes
The 272 steps and uneven cave surfaces are easier and safer with sturdy shoes rather than sandals.

Build in time for traffic
Allow extra buffer for peak-hour congestion in the Klang Valley, especially when heading to KLIA for international flights.
