Itinerary
Stop at Batu Caves (At 8.30am: Pick up at hotel lobby and transfer to batu cave)
- Batu Caves remained little known outside the local community until 1878, when American naturalist William Temple Hornaday brought them to wider attention.
- The following year, in 1892, the site hosted its first Thaipusam celebration, a Tamil Hindu festival dedicated to Murugan. Today, it is a major event that attracts hundreds of thousands of pilgrims annually.
- At their base stands a 140-foot (42.7-meter) gold-painted statue of
Murugan, made of reinforced concrete. A steep 272-step staircase leads to the largest chamber, Cathedral Cave or Temple Cave. - Along the way, macaques frequently approach visitors in search of food. Within the cave lies the largest of several temples on the site, making Batu Caves a significant religious and cultural landmark.
