The Batu Caves

Hi Steem friends,

More then a year ago I visited a friend in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. In that short stay we wanted to escape the city so I asked what we could go and see..
She suggested that we could visit the Batu Caves in Peninsular about 1,5 hour out of the city. We took the train as that is so cheap transportation in KL. The picture shows the entrance of the Batu Caves.

The caves are created of limestone grottoes. The caves are one of the country’s biggest tourist attractions and are a place for Tamil Hindus. They are named after the Sungai Batu it means Batu River.

A huge gold painted statue of Murugan, made from concrete and is 42.7 meters in height, stands near the base of the stairs with 272 steps.

As visitors climb the steps, they will spot a lot of monkeys who are begging aggressively for food. At the top of the steps is the entrance to the largest cave, called Cathedral Cave or Temple Cave.

If you're planning to visit Kuala Lumpur I think this visit should definitely be on your list.

Thanks you all for upvoting hope you enjoy this post.
