In Selangor, ~13 km north of central KL — plan transport (KTM Komuter terminus or Grab).

THE VERDICT

“The rainbow staircase, the gold Murugan statue and cheeky macaques. Go early to beat heat and crowds; dress modestly.”

Limestone cave temples fronted by the 42.7 m gold Lord Murugan statue. Expect long-tailed macaques — keep food hidden.
