Sightseeing Without Suffering: Batu Caves From Below

So I made it to Batu Caves, home of the iconic rainbow stairs and the towering golden Lord Murugan statue — but plot twist: I didn’t climb the stairs. 😅 And you know what? Still totally worth it. I admired the colors, soaked up the vibes, took a million photos pretending I might climb... and then treated myself to fresh coconut water instead. Priorities. Quick Info: 📍 Location: Gombak, Selangor (30 mins from KL city) 🕒 Opening Hours: Daily, 6AM – 9PM 🎟️ Entrance Fee: Free (Main temple cave is free; other caves may charge a small fee) 👟 Stair Count (for reference): 272. I personally climbed… none. 😌 📸 Photo Spots: The golden statue, colorful stairs, pigeons on point, and coconut stalls! Batu Caves isn’t just about the climb — it’s about the atmosphere, the culture, the monkeys (watch your snacks!), and the chill spiritual energy. So yes, I went to Batu Caves. No regrets, no stairs, still a vibe. #summervacay #batucaves #batucavesmalaysia #must-do_kl #kltrip
