Batu Caves

Over the last year, I have developed a keen interest in spelunking—exploring caves! Initially, I was quite averse to venturing into caves, as I was uncomfortable with the idea of traversing in darkness. However, I came to realize the remarkable natural history preserved within these subterranean spaces. Caves are important deposits of fossils, minerals, bioluminescent organisms, bodies of water, and much more, each presenting a unique awe-inspiring experience for visitors.

The Batu Caves in Malaysia are one of the most important Hindu religious sites outside of India and are a must-see once you tire of shopping and wandering Kuala Lumpur.
