Stop at the Gate of the Gods for a free Kuala Lumpur view experience

The moment you step into the entrance plaza, which can be considered the "lobby" of Batu Caves, the first thing that catches your eye is the world's largest statue of Lord Murugan and the colorful 272 steps. Surrounding you are people offering prayers, tourists, and lively wild monkeys. This open space is like the anteroom of a sacred stage. Being able to have such a sacred and exotic experience for free is the very symbol of #absolutelyfreetravel. "What awaits me up ahead?" - with this anticipation in mind, I head towards the stairs, taking photos as I go.
