dozens of macaque monkeys ushered visitors up the 272-step staircase to the Temple Cave. Actually, saying that they were “ushering” would be sugarcoating it. Not only did some of them follow visitors around, a few also found themselves on one end of a mini-brawl when they start getting territorial or when they just try to snatch food from unsuspecting tourists.
It was the last day of our week-long trip across the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia and there was no better way to end this journey than a stop at one of the most checked out sites in Kuala Lumpur — Batu Caves. A 4-million year old karst hill, it is a network of caves and chambers. There are three big caves but the largest is the Cathedral Cave or temple Cave, so called for its high ceiling and a number of Hindu shrines it houses. located 13 km north of the Malaysian capital, Batu Caves is actually in Gombak, Selangor. It was named after the nearby river Sungai Batu.
While the site had long been known to Chinese settlers in the area, it wasn’t until 1878 that it received worldwide attention when colonial authorities put them on record. In the coming years, the site would be converted into a place of worship for Hinduism.

All things tall and High
The 50-foot-tall statue of Hanuman, a deity who is an “ardent devotee” of avatar Rama, stand ideal beside the nearest train station. Behind it is a temple dedicated to him and just around the area is the Ramayana Cave.
Statue of Hanuman
But even the Hanuman statue is dwarfed by a much taller, a lot more commanding structure that stands ideal before the caves — a Statue of Murugan, an crucial deity especially to Tamil Hindus. At 42.7 meters, it is the tallest in the world. The shiny statue towers at the base of the staircase that leads to the mouth of the temple Cave. about 24 million rupees were spent to build and erect this humongous gold-painted statue.
Batu Caves, Malaysia
We arrived at around 1pm. The sun was trying to fry everything under it. The sweltering pavement also did not help. It was a hot, hot day, but we still could not help but pause and take pictures of every structure in the area. When we finally reached the entrance to the temple Cave, we were greeted by a flock of birds (doves or pigeons?) that were just flying around the site. but even the number of these avian pals was nowhere near as arresting as the Murugan Statue. It was just impossible to ignore. Under the torturous heat of the sun, we spent a good amount of time just standing before the structure taking photos of it in any way possible angles.

When we finally reeked of burning skin, we made a decision to make our way to the temple Cave. The 272-step staircase can be pretty discouraging especially upon first look. It looked steep and dizzying. even the long-tailed macaques that are scattered around the area can be intimidating, too. but shame on me if I back out because there were so lots of elderly men and women, and children who were climbing with us
I expected the climb to be exhausting. and it was exhausting, alright. but it wasn’t that bad. Actually, it wasn’t bad at all. a lot more than a few times, I stopped and turned around to admire the view from the steps, and it did not disappoint.
The Dark Cave Conservation Site
Dark Cave Conservation Site
Before reaching the temple Cave, we observed another trail stemming to the left from the stairs. It leads to the so-called Dark Cave, a conservation site that, according to its website, is composed of “2km surveyed passages with 7 major sections,” that house a rich number of flora and fauna that can be found nowhere else. a lot more rock formations can also be admired inside. I bet they were breathtaking but I can’t be sure because we weren’t able to enter the cave. The entrance fee was RM35 for adults and RM28 for children, which I found too steep. I know it may be worth it but we just did not have enough cash at the time as it was our last stop.
The temple Cave
It’s absolutely one of the largest cave chambers I have ever seen thus far. There’s plenty of space for the amazing air to breeze through, sweeping away all the stickiness and sweatiness I felt earlier. There was really an abrupt change of temperature upon stepping into the cavern. The high-vaulted ceiling did remind me of a cathedral but I guess considering that it is a Hindu site, “Temple Cave” is a a lot more proper name.

Souvenir stores were the first to greet us but we just passed them because we really did not have any a lot more cash with us. We proceeded right away to the sophisticated shrines that adorn the walls of the chamber. The ground inside is absolutely paved, which somehow made meमैले थोरै दु: खीमा म धेरै “प्राकृतिक” अनुभवको आशा गर्दै थिए। धेरै स्थान को धेरै जसो टाढा टाढाको सानो कोठा बाहेक कृत्रिपूर्ण रूपमा जलाइएको छ, जुन सूर्यको प्रकाशमा नुहाउने छ जुन माथिको उद्घाटन ओछ्यानमा लियो। यहाँ धेरै ओर्निट तीर्थहरू यहाँ फेला पार्न सकिन्छ। दुःखको कुरा, ओन्भनको पर्खालहरूमा केही स्पष्ट भित्ताचित्रहरू पनि छन्।

केही सुझावहरू
यदि तपाईं ड्राइरो केटहरू जाँच गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ भने, यहाँ केहि विचारहरू छन् जुन तपाईं धेरै सन्तोषजनक अनुभवको लागि विचार गर्न चाहानुहुन्छ:
पानीको एक बोतल ल्याउन। यो धेरै थकाइलाग्दो छ, विशेष गरी आरोहण। त्यहाँ गुफाको अगाडि नरिवल जुस र आइसक्रिम बेच्ने गुफाको अगाडि धेरै स्टोरहरू छन् यदि तपाईं इच्छुक हुनुहुन्छ भने। हामीले उनीहरूलाई कोसिस गर्यौं र यो त्यस्तो स्फूर्तिदायी व्यवहार हो कि यो हाम्रो भ्रमणको क्रममा वास्तवमा तातो र घाम लाग्छ।
गाँड गुफा यात्रा लिनुहोस्। मलाई थाहा छ यो धेरै महँगो छ तर म यसको बारेमा धेरै रुपैया समीक्षा पढ्दै छु। यदि मसँग त्यो समय छ भने, म यसलाई लिन्थें।
सुरक्षात्मक Wewwar ल्याउनुहोस्। मैले मेरो चेकलाई तन्डिएको आँखाको साथ समाप्त गरें किनकि मैले सूर्यमुनि फोटोहरू लिनुपर्यो र मैले मेरो विषयको लागि खोजिरहेको थिएँ प्रायः अग्लो छन्। तपाईलाई गुफाबाट बाहिर निस्कँदा उक्त चमकमा अचानक परिवर्तन पनि प्रयोगको लागि केही पनि बानीमा पर्न आवश्यक छ।
बाँदर नदेखाउनुहोस्। यदि तपाइँ गर्नुहुन्छ भने, तपाइँ उनीहरूको व्यवहारको परिमार्जन गर्न धेरै बढी योगदान गर्दै हुनुहुन्छ, जुन पर्यटकहरूमा ब्याकफायरहरू मध्ये धेरै। तिनीहरू मध्ये केहीलाई शरारती लाग्न असामान्य छैन र असंख्य आगन्तुकहरूबाट केही खाना खोल्न को लागी प्रयास गर्नुहोस्। हामीले अर्को एउटा छुट्टै भेट्यौं जसले एक बन्दरकलाई एक बन्दर प्रदान गर्नुभयो तर अरूले उहाँमा कतै पछ्याउन थाले। सुरुमा उनी खुसी भए तर उनी अलि चिन्तित भएर एक अथक चिन्तित भए।
सीढीमा वरिपरि खेल्दै लामो-पुच्छर मकाव्यापी बाँदर
मन्दिरको प्रवेशद्वारमा देवताहरूको आंकडा
म हुँ। हाहा।
मैले सिढीमा तल चढेको अघि, मैले रोके र वरपरका प्रोशकापेपको वरिपरि मेरा आँखाहरू भौंकीन दिएँ। बट गुफाहरू यस हप्ताको अन्तिम स्टप हो। पश्चिम मलेशियाको वरिपरि लामो यात्रा हो। पहिलो पटक मैले यस ठाउँको बारेमा सुनेँ जब यो शानदार दौडमा सबै ताराहरू थिए जुन केही वर्ष पछि ताराहरू थिए र यो निकै मेरो सम्झनामा दर्ता गरिएको थियो। मैले कहिले पनि अर्को देशमा पैदल यात्रा गरिन र मैले आफूलाई वाचा गरेको थिएँ कि म यस ठाउँ जाँचिन। मैले मेरा पहिलो कदमहरू तल लिन सुरू गर्दा, म मेरो हृदयलाई यो अनुभूतिमा डुब्दा दिन्छु कि म बिस्तारै आउँदछु। पीडाले ढिलो, हो, करीव हिमनदी तर अझै अगाडि बढ्दै गयो।
