A climb up Batu Caves...

Having stayed in Kuala Lumpur for almost two decades, I've climbed up the Batu Caves quite a number a times... if I remember correctly more then 10 times. But it's only recently I've made the latest climb after more than a year or so and this time I felt like sharing some pictures. Come! :]


OK. All city folks should know where Batu Caves is situated at. In fact it is quite reknowned internationally as the place were more than a million people annually converge to celebrate the major Hindu festival of Thaipusam, the biggest such event in the world outside of India...


Batu Caves houses perhaps the biggest concentration of Hindu temples outside of India...

Visits are often made not only by Hindus but also by tourist and locals, at least because it is the only limestone hill with caves easily accesible from the city...


Batu Caves is coveted by the Hindus such that they also have the biggest statue of a Hindu deity in the world outside of India.



Time to make a climb...




After a few steps, I felt like snapping a picture up. This couple happened to be in focus...


OK, a view over halfway up...






A look down from there...








And here, almost on top of the 272 steps. By the way this is the 300th posting in this blogspot. To be continued...
