Directions:
The slightly complicated but scenic way
- Take Jalan Kuching out of K.L.
- At the Jalan Kuching toll plaza, set trip meter to zero.
- At 3.6 km, exit for Kuantan/ Kepong.
- At the roundabout above Jalan Kuching (4.0 km), take 3 O'Clock & exit towards Kuantan.
- As you approach Batu Caves, take the left slip road at 5.1 km.
- At the bottom of the ramp, keep left (sign-posted Ulu Yam Baru). Batu Caves should now be on your right!
- Go over railroad tracks, and at 6.2 km, turn right at traffic lights (a mosque will be on the right).
- At 10.1 km, turn right (again sign-posted Ulu Yam). Follow this scenic road past the reservoir and into the hills.
- At 31.6 km, immediately after crossing a bridge, turn right at T-junction.
- Bear right past Thou Yen Restaurant and then bear right again at 32.4 km going onto laterite road. Follow signs, park cars near Hare’s car KL7780.
Alternative Direction, no difference in time
- You may take the crawl via the NKVE, exit at Rawang. After paying the toll, turn right at traffic lights (T-juntion). You will see a Petronas station on the left then another Petronas station on the right and subsequently the LaFarge Cement plant on your right.
- Cross the bridge over the railroad tracks. Follow the road straight on as it passes by the newer sections of Rawang town (with new shophouses). This road will eventually join the trunk road heading north.
- Continue on trunk road (Highway 1) through Sungai Choh and Serendah.
- A little north of the Serendah Golf Course, turn right after the Pasar Raya (supermarket), a solitary building on your right, before meandering through the road works for the bridge over the double tracking for KTM. There is a sign posted Ulu Yam Baru.
- Pass through Ulu Yam Lama and then into Ulu Yam Baru. On the far side of Ulu Yam Baru, keep going straight past the turn-off for Batu Caves (adjacent to a river bridge). You will pass the Thou Yen restaurant on the left hand side, and then continue on as above.
