Batu Caves in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

This holy shrine is located in a limestone hill, and the caves themselves are said to be 400 million years old. Tons of people flock here every day for various reasons, but by far my favorite is to get pick pocketed by the local monkeys. They just don't care and are not afraid of humans. They will go through your stuff while you're holding it, scavenging for food. That alone makes the 100 meter trek up stairs worth it.

This shot was from inside the actual cave on top of the hill where it opens up for natural daylight to illuminate the area. In contrast, right next to the entrance to this place, you can find the Dark Caves, where it is absolute darkness in the middle of day.
