Batu Caves Kuala Lumpur: The most iconic image from Kuala Lumpur is of these vibrant rainbow-coloured stairs leading up to an enormous gold statue of Murugan, the Hindu goddess of war. This imposing statue measures 42 metres in height and protects a series of stunning limestone caves which you can explore after climbing the 272 stairs leading up to them. As well as being a fascinating cultural stop, it’s the best place in Kuala Lumpur to snap photos!
