I went to the Batu caves about 10 years ago. I got the train and I remember there being women only carriages. When I got there, there was so many indians walking up the steps carrying pots of milk on their heads. It was a religious ceremony where they sit in a throne and someone pours milk over their head. They asked me if I wanted to join in I said no thanks 😁. I remember walking out of the caves and seeing the skyline of Kuala Lumpur. Enjoyed the vlog 👍

Nice! They still have women only carriages now on the train. I got in one at the end of the video by mistake 😂. Batu caves was good, I think they could do Alor more but it’s great for a free attraction.

Gday Wayne, I remember going to these caves in 1969 as a ten year old. We were living in Malaca at the time ( a place you should visit) and on a school adventure. It was in the middle of nowhere back then and the only thing there were the concrete stairs, timber planks on mud with no lights and sinkholes everywhere in the cave. If you went in too deep you probably wouldn’t make it back out alive, how it has changed. Cheers mate.

Hi Peter, thanks for sharing that . Yes, it does look a place where you could get lost .

I knew a few Thai ladies who "worked" in KL doing "massage". One of them worked one month solid and as many customers in one day as possible then came back to BKK to relax lol.

I went to the Batu caves back in 2009 and I didn’t think much of it. It looks spectacular. But I found the Jenolan caves west of Sydney are way better in my opinion.

Cheers David, it was worth it for sure. Can't grumble.

I did combine the Batu Cave with the Forest Research Institute jungle walk, near Kuala Lumpur. Both are close together. The jungle walk has a long tree top canopy walk included. At the end of the walk you come to a river and people just sit in the river with all their clothes on to cool down. When I arrived at the station, I was wondering why I see wet people although it did not rain. At the end I knew it and I loved it. You can get there by bus or by train. in 2012 the Batu cave did not have so many visitors as today, but already as many monkeys as today.

Wayne, if you want some authentic and delicious South Indian food vegetarian go the restaurant you walked past outside of your hotel. "Saravana Bhavan". Green logo. Many locations around the world and delicous. Go for the rava masala dosa or anything !! South indian style filter coffee also really good!

Looks like you picked the best time of day to go, much cooler and less tourists bumping around. The day we went they had a massive religious festival Thaipusam happening and it was absolutely packed sardine style. Just swarms of people packed in the heat was pretty intense. 🙈
