On my way up to the Cave temple, 272 steps

Furthermore, there would be monkeys on the way up the stairs. Those monkeys always go to the places where they find their food. There is a whole colony of monkeys living in the caves that visitors would always feed them. 

Inside the Batu Caves

It is an actual temple where Hindus congregate regularly despite being a major tourist attraction and there was another flight of stairs which led us to the sacred temple of Batu Caves. There was a gigantic cave opening right above the temple which allowed natural light to shine on it. It is really a remarkable sight.
