Batu Caves

This giant caves were first discovered in 1878 by the American William Hornaday. Today the caves are the main tourist attraction. You have to climb 272 steps to reach the main cave which is called The Cathedral or Temple Cave. This cave is 180 meters long and 100 metres high. This enormous chamber has some openings in the vaulted ceilings, and the day light creates a magic feeling. At the bottom of the Light Cave is a Hindu temple. On our way up to the cave, and inside the cave, you will find statues depicting Hindu mythology.
