The caves are surrounded by one of the most important cultural sites for Hindus in Malaysia, a temple dedicated to Lord Murugan who conquered demons in Hindu folklore.
You can sit on one of the plastic chairs that spill out into the street, order some top-quality Thai or Chinese street food, drink a Tiger beer, and do a little people-watching.
The entrance to the temple is covered in colorful carvings of Hindu deities, and you could spend all day scanning over the intricacies of the architecture.
