Being in Malaysia for over a year now and countless places visited, I have finally gone to the famous "Batu Caves". Batu Caves, located in Gombak, Selangor, Malaysia, is one of Malaysia's known tourist attractions. It is a limestone hill with a series of caves and cave temples. The cave is considered as one of the most popular Hindu shrines outside India.

So, what has Batu Caves has to offer? Definitely the astonishing limestone formations that you can see from the ground. Though most people say the odor is usually intolerable, but the scenery is definitely one for the books. From the ground leading to the 272-step stairway, you can take pictures with a flock of pigeons (this one I love). Take note though that bringing food or water towards the stairway is not a good idea as there are lots of monkeys waiting to snatch them. They also require you to wear atleast knee-length bottoms.

Going there is pretty easy. If you're coming from KL Sentral or from TBS Bus Station, simply take the KTM Train going to Batu Caves. Fare is around 3-4RM in a journey that will take you less than an hour. Once you got off at Batu Caves station, you can already see the place so just simply walk for around 100 meters or so.
