Batu Caves in Malaysia

On the second day in Kuala Lumpur, i went to Batu Caves. It is around 13 km in the north of Kuala Lumpur. I went there by taxi and paid MYR 100 for return. We took taxi from central KL and did some bargain before taking the taxi. Why did i take taxi to go there? Because thats the fastest way and i think its the only way to go from KL.


And i heard from the taxi driver its hard to find and stop a taxi at the street in Batu Caves Temple, since its not in the city. Then i decided to book the taxi for return.

In Batu Caves Temple, there is the world largest statue of Lord Murugan. Based on KL smartguide book i have, it is said to make the statue it spent hundreds of tons of concrete and steel bars and 300 litres of gold paint to make the 43m statue that welcoming visitors at the base of the hills of the cave.










 To reach the cave you need to step the stairs, 272 steps up. It was a bit tiring for me :) .

Cave entrance 

When you get to the top of the stair, you will see really big cave with beautiful cave wall with many birds around. 

The Main Temple

There was the main Hindu temple inside the cave after passing through such a big hall in the cave. 

Me and Andreas :)

On the other side of the main temple cave, there is an adventure tour into the dark cave. Of course you need to purchase some amount of money to join the adventure.

One thing that i like when i was here is that there were hundreds friendly pigeon birds at the base on the hill. It was nice being among them :)
