Magnificent Batu Caves

Batu Caves is a limestone hill that has a series of caves and cave temples in Gombak, Selangor, Malaysia. It takes its name from the Malay word batu, meaning 'rock'. The hill was originally known as Kapal Tanggang from the legend of Si Tanggang. The town nearby is named after the Batu Caves limestone formation.

The lord Murungan Statue is the 3rd tallest Hindu deity statue in the world,You can also see hundreds of wild long tailed macaques, they are quite aggressive.

Another thing that fascinated me was the colorful Batu Caves steps,it was originally made of wood until it was replaced with concrete staircase with 272 steps.
