Batu Caves


This is listed in the guidebooks as one of the tourist attractions to be visited in the vicinity of KL. Not in my book its not! Its a Hindu temple set in a large limestone cave, which is accessed via a long and steep flight of steps. The caves on their own would be a reasonably impressive sight, but the so-called temple is a tacky collection of Hindu tableaux in a dirty and smelly concrete cavern, overrun with greedy monkeys. Well worth giving a miss. Luckily I was on my way to the hash and Batu was on my route, so not too much time wasted.
