Batu Caves

Batu Caves is a mukim and town in Gombak District in the Malaysian state of Selangor. It takes its name from the limestone caves and Hindu shrine of the same name, and the town has been growing quickly because of a housing boom in its centre. The article lists dozens of residential townships and villages, among them Taman Batu Caves, Taman Selayang, Taman Seri Gombak and Kampung Baru Batu Caves, and a mix of places of worship that includes the Batu Caves temple, several Chinese temples and mosques. The town has six primary schools and several secondary schools, and new business centres have opened in the town heart. The Batu Caves Komuter station, opened in 2010 as part of the refurbishment of the Sentul to Batu Caves branch line, serves the town, as do RapidKL and Selangor Omnibus buses. The town lies beside the MRR2 Federal Route 28 and close to the East Coast Expressway and Duta-Ulu Klang Expressway interchanges, and it is part of the Gombak parliamentary constituency.
