The morning light off Port Klang gives way to a quick drive north, and suddenly limestone karst rises sharp and close: Batu Caves’ famous steps climb toward a cavern mouth that feels both ancient and public. You feel the city at your back and a Hindu shrine’s color and chant ahead; monkeys dart at the edges of the stairway, and the heat pushes you upward.
