A 42.7m (130 feet high) high statue of Lord Murugan was unveiled in January 2006, having taken 3 years to construct. It is the tallest Lord Murugan statue in the world.

If i m not wrong Batu Cave is a shrine or temple that dedicated to Lord Murugan, at 2006 they decide to build at statue of him. Indeed that statue make me wanted to visit Batu cave everytime i m using MRR2 highway. Maybe that Lord Murugan special aura
So who's Lord Murugan? According to the tablet below the statue he know as God of War. He believe to kill many demon to save those devoted.
Batu Cave is free and there won't be anything charge for climbing the stair unless you want to venture into certain temple, which need to provide some-sort of offering or donation. For those that is driving, getting a parking here kinda confusing or hard. A wrong turn might force you make a big U-turn. Definitely there will be many people making or cheat money here because of the amount of tourist here so becarefull dealing with the people here.
The stair might steep but ain't hard, all one need is time and patient. There like 272 steps, upon reaching up there a few shrine and temple for blessing. One could enjoy breeze coolness of the cave and marvel the beauty of nature. Mostly Indian and tourist visit Batu cave (seen lot of Arab tourist). Took me and my gf roughly about 2 hours taking picture, wondering around and playing with monkey.(she running away from the Monkey) LOL
Monkeys here don't fear human they even snatch item from people especially those with fruit or Can's drink. Maybe that what make them monkey and make us human. Nothing particular exciting apart the statue and monkeys. But for Rm0 i don't think anyone would complaint much.
For anyone that never been to Batu Cave before should give this place a visit. There a strong history and culture hindu community present here and experiencing it first hand woud be very memorable indeed. Paranomic view on-top of the cave is awesome and breathtaking at time
Renie decide not to go Zoo Negara because she tired (stair) and pretty hot. She promise we go Zoo Negara next time. We head to 1Utama to watch GI Joe and visit my favourite burger parlour "Carl's Junior"
p/s: This the first time i visit Batu Cave
Stay tune for my Disneyland post soon, currently editing those picture.
