Getting there is a bit tricky.Parking is also difficult. The best way is probably by taking the LRT and alighting at Pasar Seni station. From there, it's about 15-20 mins walk. More

Well worth the visit. The carvings are beautiful and the decoration inside the temple is magnificent. We went as part of a guided tour (and it was really helpful having a knowledgeable guide to explain things). Well worth the visit. More

Having experienced the Hindu festival of Thaipusam a few days before at the Batu Caves it was wonderful to see this temple. The architecture was so elaborate and intricate it was well worth the visit. More
