The place is very revered by Hindus and not only living in Malaysia, but also arriving from other countries. During the Hindu holiday Thaipusam, the caves become the center of worship of all Hindus of Malaysia and people so much that if you are not the biggest fan of Indian creed, it is better to come to another time. In the cave Batu is the most convenient access on the train. What is curious about the price there, for example from the station "Putra" 1 rm, and back 2 Rm, and from Kl Sentral 2 Rm to each side. Tickets are bought at the ticket office before going to the platform, then read by the turnstile and persist, be sure! Before the end of the trip, because when leaving again, the turnstile and employee checks whether you paid correctly. This is due to the fact that the payment of transport is tied to the zones to which the city is divided and paid less, and will no longer come. Trains are excellent, with air conditioning clean and screens showing the entire road cartoons and advertising trains.
Get out at the end station and first that you see a huge, green statue of God Hanuman.
Come on the territory of the complex and next to Hanuman, a small, but very beautiful Hindu temple of gently green "The Sri Maha Mariamman Temple Dhevasthanam". Unlike frequent cases, and India, when only Hindus are allowed into the temple, the entrance is free to all in compliance with ordinary politeness rules. To be modestly dressed and barefoot. The caves themselves are located 100 from the temple to rise to them. It is necessary to go through a long staircase with monkeys, which are more like that of our pigeons. The foot of the ladder has a golden statue, Son of Shiva and Brother Ganeshy God of War and Victory: Murugan. Caves upstairs and altar look usually and not so bright. To the right of the staircase, if you descend from the caves, there is a small attraction for tourists. Paid walk through the caves with a guide. Given the pitch darkness and dampness, as well as all that you will see from beasts are bats, pleasure for enthusiasts.
In these caves, by the way, climbing competitions are held.
Downstairs, many shops with souvenirs and a pond, rather in Chinese style with red and golden fish. You can take half a day to visit the caves and, taking into account the very convenient logistics "How to get" convenient to return to Kl Sentral or Bank Negara, from where it is convenient to reach the city center and other attractions.
