Batu Caves
Malaysia is an amazing amalgamation of culture, modern
technology, beautiful landscapes, great shopping, yummy food and warm people.
Geographically it has varied terrain from plains and hills to stunning islands.
From the religious point of view, its an Islamic country. But there is a famous
Hindu place of worship called Batu Caves which is perched high up in the hills.
The way to Batu Caves is rather fascinating. We left Kuala Lumpur by bus and as soon as we left the plains, began the bumpy ride uphill. It was cool and pleasant when we reached
there and the ambience was rejoicing. As we reached the foot of the hill, we
saw the huge statue of Lord Murugan.
Lord Murugan is a South Indian God. This statue is the
largest of its kind in the world. But the real adventure was yet to begin. The
way to the temple was 272 steps up. Whoa!! I was wearing high hills and I
immediately ditched them for flats and started our climb. My mom was not too
keen but she accompanied me and my dad nonetheless.Huffing and puffing, we made
our way to the top.The sweaty climb was worth every drop of sweat. The view
from there was mesmerizing. Me and my dad also went to the dark caves. After
spending some time above we made our way down. We were tired and famished. We
had a hearty lunch at one of the many Indian restaurants.It had started pouring
heavily. We all got into the bus fully drenched. It was an awesome experience.
