Batu Caves, Malaysia

From Kuala Lumpur, I went out to the Batu Caves, which is a little tourist trap of a place 8 miles out of the city, but nonetheless is pretty cool. It is a cave system in a limestone outcrop, crawling with monkeys and touting a giant Hindu statue. It is a Hindi holy place and people come from all over to pray here in the fantastically lit cave filled with incense smoke. Definitely worth the $1/4RM I paid to get out there. Here are a few pictures of it:

Details:
To get to the Batu Caves, take bus 11 ($.50/2RM each way). To catch it in KL, follow Jl Petaling (the Chinese Market street) north of there about a block or two until it forms a little triangle plaza with another street, there is a Bangkok Bank right there. The bus leaves from the triangle-island right there. To get back to KL, leave the gated area and turn right and walk a short distance past some souvenir shops to a concrete patio bus stand.
