BATU CAVES KUALA LUMPUR

Standing at the foot of the rainbow-painted staircase, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. The colossal golden statue of Lord Murugan guarding the entrance set the tone for this unique spiritual and cultural landmark. Climbing the 272 steps wasn't easy in the Malaysian heat, but the view from the top was worth it. The Batu Caves themselves are a sight to behold - massive natural caverns that have been used as Hindu places of worship for centuries. Inside the caves, colorful murals and shrines depict scenes from Hindu mythology. While some of the smaller caves have paid entry, the main cave is free to explore. Keep an eye out for the cheeky monkeys that call the caves home! They're known to snatch unattended belongings, so be mindful of your valuables. Overall, the Batu Caves are a fascinating place that offers a glimpse into Malaysian culture and religion. It's a must-visit for any traveler looking for a unique experience. #mytravelhacks #localguides #historicallandmarks #trip #malaysia #kualalumpur #batucavesmalaysia
