A travel companion means someone knows your plans, can help navigate emergencies, and makes you less of a target in unfamiliar areas of Batu Caves.
Go deeper

Worth agreeing on before you meet
Respect Local Customs
Remove shoes before entering temples or homes. Point with your whole hand, not a finger. The head is considered sacred — never touch anyone on the head.
Leave No Trace
Pack out all rubbish. Stay on marked trails and paths. Do not touch, feed, or disturb wildlife. The natural beauty of Batu Caves depends on every visitor treating it with respect. Take only photos, leave only footprints.
Full detail — itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety — is in the Batu Caves travel guide.
