Malaysia · BATU CAVES
The Sri Subramaniar Swamy Temple is a working Hindu shrine inside a limestone hill, and the main cave is free to walk into on your own. What these 15 tours buy you is transport, the context of what you are looking at, and usually the Ramayana cave or a waterfall stop alongside. Cover shoulders and knees, expect 272 steps, and hold onto anything the macaques could take.
