The tour begins as the city thins and the road climbs, clouds gathering like a soft blanket that the cable car will soon lift you through. At Awana station the gondola pulls you skyward; the valley exhales below and the resort perches above like a bright, busy island. Later, at Batu Caves the staircase challenges the legs and the enormous golden deity watches over devotees and visitors alike.
