If you are spending your holidays in Malaysia, there are good news for you. I am sure you’ll want to visit Batu Caves while in Kuala Lumpur located in the north of Kuala Lumpur city.
There is no need of any buses or taxis any more.From 29th of July, 2010 KTM komuter train runs from KL Sentral train station straight to Batu Caves.
Train runs every 30 minutes. Ticket costs 4MYR return. For further information and any changes please check official KTM Komuter website.

I am not sure why they decided to publish schedule in MS Excel format which can’t be read by everybody. You can check it here or you can just look to the schedule bellow. I converted it to html format readable by everybody. This schedule is valid as of today date (7th of February 2013). Please inform us if will be any changes.

Good news! Batu caves was my favourite attraction in KL, took me a while to find the right bus to get to it. I fear it might become a bit more crowded if it’s made easier to access though with it’s own KTM line.
.-= AdventureRob´s last blog ..Ann The Mental- Part 2 =-.
Hmm, just tried to take this train today and it was over an hour late before we gave up and decided to do something else. Maybe tomorrow morning we can try again by taxi.
I am thinking of visiting KL Feb.10-12. I arrive from Europe in Singapore 9thfeb. & would travel 10th to KL. Would it be cutting things fine & taking into consideration jetlag 🙂 by going to KL for a couple of days? I leave Singapore late on the 13/02 so need to be back in time. Would taking the bus be reasonable time-wise?
I am interested in the Batu Caves & other signts in KL city (Petronatowers etc.) due to time limitations. I am interested in good street markets (clothes, nic-naks)& temples to see.
Does anyone have any recommendations? i would like tostay in a neat, modest hotel. Hostels wont cut it after 25hrs travel! Any help appreciated.

Hi Lalita,
I was staying at Citrus Hotel (http://citrushotelkl.com)
It nice hotel and good location for commuting around the city.
Now you can purchase tickets for petronas twin towers in advance:

Great tips! There was no train option when I was there a few years back! A few photos of the caves for those wondering what it looks like: http://girlgonegallivanting.com/civilization-kuala-lumpur/
