 Batu Caves Nov 02, 2009
The caves are located a short drive from downtown. 200+ steps will lead you up to the caves. If you're in KL, I'd put it up there with a visit to Petronas / corn on the cob. If you've been to KL, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. Bottom line... do it. Getting up close and personal with the monkeys is cool and the climb will keep you in shape.

 Popular day trip from Kuala Lumpur Aug 31, 2009
It is located 13km north from KL and quite easy to access by bus.
It is free and quite unique, and you can figure that out at the first sight of the giant statue! If you cannot climb stairs, forget it. There are 272 steps to go to the cave, and with the heat it was quite exhausting. The best attraction on the way were funny monkeys going all around, not scared of people are they are very use to see them in this place which is very touristic and very important for Hindus. It was not too crowded though. Once inside, it is a peculiar atmosphere. I would not say Batu Caves is a must-see in your life, but if you are around, it is unique and I do not think there is any other place like that, so it can be worth a visit!

einer Stunde Busfahrt durch die Vororte Kuala Lumpurs erreichten wir die Batu Caves, ein Hoehlensystem in Kalksteinfelsen, in dem um 1890 ein Hindu-Schrein zu Ehren Murugans errichtet wurde. Noch heute findet hier alljaehrlich das Thaipusam-Fest statt, was die Hoehle zur wichtigsten Pilgerstaette der malayischen Hindus macht. Bis zum Eingang der 100m hohen Temple Cave… Batu Caves |

Somehow my broken phone and nixed plans for the Batu Caves came up and they showed interest in going there as well. They had mentioned they were on their honeymoon and had a driver for the week. They invited me along, and I happily obliged.
Arriving at the Batu Caves, there… A chance meeting.. |
