Welcome back and following me on my walk up to Batu Caves.
Below is the the statue of Lord Murugan, found at the entrance of the steps; stands at 40m tall which is considered as the tallest statue of Lord Murugan in the world. This massive statue is a master piece of Indian sculptors.
A shot right under the statue.
The stairs up to Batu Caves…..
Some people also come here to exercise especially in the morning and evening to walk and down the stairs.
Did you manage to catch a glimpse of the monkeys?
Right at the top of the stairs; 272 steps!!

Interior of the caves.

Outlook in Life 
Can’t wait to visit! Great perspective with your photos. I’m currently stalking blogs that post Malaysia related travels. Trying to prepare myself for a later trip this November.
Well.. there are more to come. Stay tune. =)
Your photos looks like film. We’re it film?
Reblogged this on Sherry's Space and commented:
It looks absolutely fabulous
That looks amazing. Great pictures 🙂
Thanks!! Have you been here? If not, you should if you are in Kuala Lumpur. =)
Hey I visit this place before. Near where I live.
That’s cool. Guess you tried visiting these place during Tahipusam. If you haven’t, you should. I did that once and it was damn ‘interesting’ LOL!!
Love all the pictures !
Glad that you love my pictures. More to come. Stay tune. =)
I couldn’t believe the ornate path to the cave. I’ve been in a few in the US, i.e. Carlsbad Caverns, etc. but they seem to be a lot more natural. It appears Malaysians like a “grand entrance”.
haha… well they did some renovation internally as the devotee’s go there to do prayers and give offering. It is unlike the other caves which are still growing.
I’ve been to a couple of these cave temples on my travels – and they are also so spectacular. it’s really impressive what our ancestors used to do, and the length to which they went to practice their faiths.
Yes… I believe this that one would like to see if they are traveling around the the world, and some may even would like to follow this faith after experience what they have seen.
Visited the caves a couple of years ago, was a tough climb but definitely worth it. The portion of the cave where the sunlight beams into was especially spectacular.
Yup.. for a unfit person, it will be a tough climb but after doing it a few times, it gets better. I have a picture a portion of cave opening where the sunlight beams in. It will be in my next last posting on the walk up to Batu Caves. =)

I love seeing temples and churches as they often give a fuller view of the country… and your great photos remind me of Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple in Little India in Singapore 🙂
Thanks. I like to capture and see the different worship places in different countries as each of them has different architecture and some are very colourful. =)
…too many steps!
haha.. well take it slow and steady. While you walk up, you can take shots and enjoy the company the ‘friends’ of the cave; the monkeys =)
Wow, beautiful cave temple. Were you able to find out how long people had been praying there?
I read that it started way back in the late 1890’s. In the 1920’s, the 272 steps were only made of wood and then only later on to concrete.
Awesome! What a special place!
Yup it is. =) You should visit the Batu Caves if you are in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Such a beautiful cave, definitely worth walking up those stairs for.
Yup.. it was worth a slow walk up the steps. =) and even slower walk down. LOL!!
Love this. Can’t wait to move back to Vietnam to continue my travels.
Thanks!! Well..you can start planning now. =)
I already am! Next year.
Thanks good!! If you like rock climbing and caving, I heard that near by, there is a place where you also do all this. =)
which one!?!? which caves?
It is called Damai Wall at the north of Batu Caves. There is an extreme park there; Gua Damai Extreme Park where they have rock climbing and caving.
Wow, that statue is absolutely incredible… and the caves are amazing! Great photos, thanks for bringing us along on the adventure. 🙂
Thanks!! Glad to hear that you are following me on my virtual ‘travel’. Stay tune for more…
