Oldest Caves, Shouldnt Miss it While In Malaysia - It was the tour of the oldest temple which you shouldnt miss while in Malaysia, The Batu Caves. The Caves have a lot of steps, you may want to try to go up and see the beautiful scenery up there. Just be careful with the monkeys there, if you bring any food, they will easily snatched it. After the caves, we were brought to the art shop which they called in Batik painting and later to Pewter. It was nice trip and enjoyable one.
