Batu Caves

You probably won't find such a colorful place very often, right?

Batu Caves is a Hindu temple located near Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

If you go to Malaysia, you must visit this place♪

A huge, shiny golden statue and 272 steps.

It's a very energetic temple.

Batu Caves is a cave located on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur.

It is said to be a holy place for Hindus.

It is about 10km away from the center of Kuala Lumpur, so it is easy to go even if you don't have much time.

◎One train from Kuala Lumpur's central station, KL Sentral Station.

・The train has women-only cars, so it's safe for women traveling alone.

・You can also purchase drinks at the station's convenience store.

◎It was about 500 yen with Grab.

◎Admission is free

◎Clothing
Shorts and miniskirts are not allowed.
If you are too exposed, we can lend you a shawl before you climb the stairs (for a fee).

This huge golden statue is a statue of the Hindu god Murugan, and is a symbol of this cave.

As you climb the long stairs, the mystical view will unfold even more.

The stairs are slippery and steep, so we recommend wearing comfortable shoes.

There are handrails, so if you are not confident in your physical strength, you may want to use them to move around.

[Caution]
The most important thing to watch out for are the monkeys.

There are quite a few monkeys.
They are seriously after your food and drinks! And they move fast!

There are also a lot of pigeons.

There are also chickens on the way to the toilet.

Once you have cleared the monkeys and the stairs, you will see the statue of the god and a magnificent view created by nature.

[Don't miss this place]

There are also many souvenir shops and restaurants in the square below the stairs.

I hydrated myself with coconuts♪
The shop where I bought mine was cheap at 6 RM (about 180 yen), but the price varies depending on the shop, so I recommend checking before purchasing.

You'll be overwhelmed by the view of the statues and stairs, but don't miss the area around the square.
Each structure is delicate and detailed.
It would be a shame if you didn't see it!

The Batu Caves can only be seen in Malaysia, where many religions coexist.
If you're traveling to Malaysia, be sure to plan a visit to the Batu Caves♪
