Marvel at the Unearthly Beauty of the Batu Caves

July 14, 2012 - PRLog -- Kuala Lumpur – Aside from being a top tourist destination, the beautiful Batu Caves are also a site of pilgrimage for many Hindus. If you intend to visit this natural wonder, you better learn get some helpful tips and read the article “Find Awe and Wonder at the Batu Caves”. This article reads:

The Batu Caves is a series of three main caves, and several smaller caves. The Temple Cave is the main cave open to tourists and devotees. The nearly one-hundred-meter ceiling in Temple cave gives the cavern a church-like feel, hence its nickname “Cathedral Cave”. The Dark Cave lies below the Temple Cave, and contains almost two kilometers of nearly untouched caverns. Access to the Dark Cave is restricted to the general public. With a guided tour at the Dark Caves  you’ll find stalactites reaching their arms downwards from the cave ceiling towards the stalagmites on the floor of the limestone caves – a truly otherworldly sight.

Macaques, a monkey species with a complex understanding of social structure and hierarchy rule the roost at the Batu Caves. The steps up to the caves are “maintained” by the monkeys, and are quite filthy with trash, debris and excrement. The Macaques will try to take anything from you that they think is food – despite what others are doing, don’t feed them, and do not tempt them with plastic bags or open purses. You may put yourself at risk of being harassed and potentially attacked if you choose to do so. While many visitors find great joy and entertainment in the monkeys, they have been known to attack children and steal purses.
