Batu Caves Tour

Hello guys..Let's tour with me again! This time i would like to bring all of you to the Batu Caves. Batu Caves is a an iconic and popular tourist attraction in Selangor.We went to this place a few months ago for our case study. It is located just a few km away from our university. So, check it out what is Batu Caves and let's start the tour!

Batu Caves is a Site of a Hindu temple and shrine, Batu Caves attracts thousands of worshippers and tourists, especially during the annual Hindu festival, Thaipusam.

 The caves's entrance. The entrance is free.

There are 3 main attractions at Batu Caves which is a limestone hill riddled with caves. The main Cave is known as the Temple Cave or Cathedral Cave and is accessed by a steep flight of 272 steps. 

A few sourvenir shops located at the front of the stairs.. (Look at the guy,did he try to seduce me? )

Cave Villa

You have to pay an entrance fee (RM15 for foreigners, RM7 for Malaysian residents) and cross a crooked bridge over a carp pool. Here there are two more show caves illuminated with coloured lights and containing brightly painted statues and paintings of Indian poets and characters from Hindu mythology. You can read the plaques containing pearls of oriental wisdom while strolling around the humid caves. One of the caves also contains glass display tanks full of snakes and other reptiles.

HOW TO REACH THERE ?

You can take the KTM Komuter train from KL Sentral all the way to the recently opened Batu Caves Komuter station which is located a few steps from the entrance to the attractions. The fare is only RM2 each way which makes it the cheapest and easiest way to travel. The train has ladies-only coaches for the comfort and safety of female passengers. If you take your own car there is ample parking once you have negotiated the confusing road layout and reached the entrance to the cave complex.

FOODS?

There are a few restaurants (vegetarian only being a Hindu Temple) where you can get a tasty Indian curry of 4 veggie dishes, rice and poppadom served on a banana leaf, together with a fresh coconut juice for around RM9.

So, what are you waiting for.Let's travel!
