The Thaipusam Festival is celebrated in the Batu Cave. Thaipusam Festival is a Hindu festival which is celebrated every January/February. They say that people during this occasion is when they commemorate Parvati, a Hindu Goddess who gave Murugan (a popular Hindu deity) a spear to conquer Soorapadam, the evil spirit.

Situated in Selangor, Malaysia; about 30-45mins the time it takes to travel from Kuala Lumpur.

at the entrance, you will see a big golden statue on the right side.

Prepare for the 272 steps to take to enter the cave, within the cave are Hindu Shrines.
Just be polite and mind your manners especially when there are prayers held inside.

It is recommended to have the visit early in the morning, as early as 7am, so you won't get caught in the traffic. Especially that a bus is necessary to travel in this place. You just have to take the Metrobus 11 near the Central Market, if you can't still locate it, you can ask the locals, they'll show you the direction where the Metrobus is. As far as I can remember the bus fare costs 2RM...? I think...???

I went on a three day jungle trek with a guide and three other hikers and had a wonderful experience much to the amazement of the guide and my fellow travellers who believed I wasn't up to it.
I soon had their respect and my knowledge of hiking in the heat and humidity which I often did in Australia.
I really enjoyed the experience and would recommend for those who are fit to go.You do need an experienced guide to take you.
These are very old pics.

The Chinatown area has several restaurants and hawker food stalls where you can eat your traditional hookien mee. As with other Chinatowns around the world, there are lots of things to buy from the street market. Haggling for lower price is a normal thing here, so I suggest you buy your souvenir items here as it is cheaper compared to other places in KL. We also booked our hotel here to save on hotel cost.

The Petronas Towers brag itself as the tallest building until Taipe 101 outbid its claim over it and who knows, maybe some taller towers in other parts of the globe already towers above it right now (Dubai's Burj Khalifa). But, whatever the case may be, this tower is truly amazing because of its identical two towers with a skybridge connecting the two as if their just hlding their hands together. Moreover, its steel and glass theme adds to its wonder especially at night.

We travelled to Genting Highlands via taxi and halfway up we used the cable car to appreciate the aerial view of the mountainous Genting Highlands as we approach the hotels and theme parks amid the cool breeze brushing through our skin. This hill resort was developed by Resorts World, an amazing resort developer known worldwide. While we were at Genting Highlands we treated our eyes with the luxurious hotels, casinos, dining places, and most specially the theme parks. You should never miss the flying coaster :-)
