Batu 14 lies at the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, situated within the district of Hulu Langat at the easternmost end of Selangor State. A previously rural area that offers natural tourism attractions and homestays, it is now experiencing rapid urban growth. It is also the site of slope failures, the most significant one being the 2011 landslide at the At-Taqwa madrasah, which claimed the lives of 16 orphans and teachers.
