Visiting the Batu Caves, KL


The main cave of the Batu Caves is a very important Hindu shrine. Whether you visit only the main cave, or tour the series of caves, it is worth a visit.

 We had to climb 276 steps (to the left of Murugan,
 which by the way is the world's tallest statue)

 At the top of the stairs, the entrance to the cave

before my descent

The climb up the stairs is made extra special because of the friends along the way...




And when we were done, we needed to eat! Oh my, vegetarian Indian food! Have you ever tried vegetarian lamb or chicken? We have never tasted anything like this! If you had not of told us, we almost would have believed it was lamb and chicken. It looked, and tasted the part. Texture and all. Incredible!

You can get to the Batu caves taking the "Komuter" LRT train, it's just a handful of stops from the KL Sentral station. Do not take one of those massive tour buses to this, it's far too easy to get to by taking public transit! When you get of at the Batu Caves train station you walk out of the station and blam! you are at the Batu Caves, it's that easy!

And as someone that thrives mainly on beer and animal protein I can confirm, this vegetarian "meat" was incredibly convincing. You could easily pass it off very effectively as processed chicken. It was impressive and tasty!
