    This was taken in the cave next to the main Batu cave, called the art gallery. The cave is full of figures and scenes from the Hindu religion. It cost 1RM to get in. It is well worth having a look around.

    A good side trip from KL is a visit to Batu Caves. I took a bus from a stop near the Central Market. I found my map and guidebook a bit misleading at this point and waited at 3 different bus stops before finding the right one. The moral of that story is to ASK someone. Second moral, is to not trust everything you are told - so basically take a bit of a poll, and use the response that comes up the most. So yes, I found my bus and a quick ride later found myself at these huge caves.

    The main attraction at Batu Caves is Temple Cave. You must climb up 272 steps (phew!) to reach the entrance to this enourmous cavern. There is a Hindu shrine built inside, where many worshippers were gathered with their offerings. There is also a separate cave that you can visit, that is an art gallery of sorts. It was interesting as well...

    If your journey is planned tour, advise to make a little homework. Go to your local Library, read a few books touching about Hinduism. Its nice to know their belief, and we know what event they wanna do one after another. In a book you will found the Hinduism Terminology ie : Nirvana, Incarnation and the beauty of it philosophy

    Take your time follow the crowd. This caves is not really deep but since the crowd are to heavy, so the movement is slow....seem like a 20 miles to get to the other end. Do not forget to spare a liter of mineral water. There is a vendor who sell the water inside the caves but too expensive not worth to buy.

    If you cross the little lake at the entrace to the Batu Caves you will reach some more caves (on ground level) that has been turned into an art gallery of sorts. This place has the most fantastic wall paintings etc that you have seen with vivid colours and all.

  • If you happen to be stuck in KL on a weekend, this may be worth a visit. Only if you are really bored.... It is a big cave on the top of a mountain (lots of steps). The most interesting aspect is the Hindu temple with monkeys, which is sort of part of the cave. Although the cave is really big, it does not go far underground or anything like that - and it does not have any nice formations - it is just a big cavern. Actually, I am beginning to wonder why I would tell anyone to go here, as some of the car parks in the shopping centres in KL have a bigger cavern space, and you do not have to climb so many stairs.

    Make sure you take a packed lunch if you are going from KL, as it takes so long to get through all the traffic. But you have to eat the lunch before you get there, as the monkeys are really aggressive.
