I consider it my achievement when I was able to climb the 272 steps going up to the main entrance of Batu Caves considering that I dont have a regular exercise before the trip .
On the right side at the foot of the stairs is a very large and tall statue of a Hindu God.
the stairs to the entrance of Batu Caves
After 100 plus steps..we sat on the landing stair , catching out breath, lol.
At the left side of the main entrance to the Batu Caves is a smaller cave called the Dark cave. There is a big billboard and the monkeys love to sit on it
The main entrance of the cave is very huge. I thought the place is dark, but no , the sun rays penetrates the place . We were not able to see the next chamber because doing so will require another climb in 100 plus steps and its steeper this time
After some photos we decided to go downstair. We can see the nearby city, its a nice view. But for those who has vertigo going down is more difficult than going up. I feel a little bit dizzy
here is a nice view of from the top
Is it worth visiting the place? For me yes. I am always curious about other peoples religion and culture. Temples, shrines , cathedral , what ever form of house of worship I visit always amaze me. I wish there is someone who will explain to me what it is all about. When we visited a buddhist relic temple in Singapore our guide was so passionate about his religion that he explained to us very well. This time our guide did not accompany us to the cave ,so no one explains to us. But no problem, there is mr google with ready answer.. lol
