BATU CAVES: TEMPLE OF HINDU DEITIES

Leaving KL without visiting Batu Caves is like a void in your heart that you are longing to fill in with pleasure and contentment. (melodramatic huh?!) What I meant was you are far from satisfying your touring if you haven't been in this monumental place. Me in particular have been to that road since the beginning of time from working in Singapore as I visited KL several times but haven't got the chance to meet it in the flesh, that is why, I needed not to miss out this limestone caves in my fourth time. 

HOW TO GET THERE. I recommend BY TRAIN. KTM Komuter train takes you to the caves on the Batu Caves classified as Port Klang line. Fare is around RM2.00 from KL Sentral to Batu Caves. The travel time from KL Sentral to Batu Caves takes about 30 minutes. (cheapest way). BY TAXI. Normal rates from city centre will cost around RM20.00 - 25.00 but this will always depend on your gullibility or street smarts. (always ask from your hotel or use taxi fare calculator online for approximate value).  Most importantly, always ask if it's metered taxi before jumping in. BY BUS. There are two bus routes you can choose from, U6 and U10.

at our back is the Statue of Hindu Deity named Lord Murugan standing at a 
height of 140ft tall and is said to be the tallest Murugan statue in the world. 

one of the photo opps in Batu Caves aside from the primates are the flock of doves.
unfortunately, we didn't wait a long while to best capture a photobomb with the birds.

some delightful refreshments in the vicinity.

your gate pass please?

huge display of rock formations. just like the usual caves it has a fair
amount of stalactites (ceiling) and stalagmites (ground).

Reminds me of the Coat Saver commercial - "No Father, it's Coat Saver".
 Only 90's kids would know.

just like volcanoes' hollow top.

in celebration of the Hari Raya, many worshippers pay their respects to the Hindu
Gods and Goddesses.

Since I already have my KL blog years ago, I wanted to keep here the spoils of my pictures of our recent stay in the city.
