Let’s say we mention the word “kavadi” or even “chariot procession” to you; as a Malaysian you might instantly have an image of stunning limestone caves, fronted by the WORLD’S tallest statue of Lord Murugan – standing at approximately 140 ft high!
As it stands (pun intended), Batu Caves is one of Malaysia’s most iconic landmarks, and it enjoys a steady stream of international tourists along with local visitors throughout the year. It’s also the name of the nearby township.
But the real draw happens every year during the Thaipusam festival, when thousands of Hindu devotees make their way to the Batu Caves temple to pray to Lord Murugan to help them overcome the obstacles they face.
Now, if you’re looking to buy a property and turn it into a short-term rental a’la AirBnb, or rent a place in Batu Caves to be nearer to such a historical site, we’ve got JUST the list for you!
Below you’ll find the most viewed Batu Caves property listings on our website (arranged based on popularity), both for sale and for rent, for year-to-date 2020.
