Stepping up to the BATU CAVES | A MUST-SEE in Kuala Lumpur

[@RoamaroundAndy]

I really enjoyed this video, I'm new to the channel. Batu caves is incredible but so many tourists.

[@blueberrypeanut54]

new look Batu Caves stairs

[@amaninaa.r3342]

Oohh the renovations are done!

[@oppoasss1791]

Really colourfull batu cave its amazing statue of lord beautiful

[@aa.r2588]

Cant wait to watch merdeka day vlog from u guys!

[@TwojaysStepaway]

We appreciated it from afar, but sorry, there won't be a vlog on it - it's a bit crazy to vlog parades, and we're still learning the ropes :)

[@whatdaheckish]

Once you've done with KL, go out to Penang, Malacca and maybe Sabah and Sarawak.

[@whatdaheckish]

@Math Chand Relax. No need to say word stupid. I wasn't being rude just by suggesting locations after they finished visiting Kuala Lumpur. There are many suggestions by others on what to do in Kuala Lumpur so I gave something else. Stop being triggered easily.

[@dandanthegadgetman]

Hi I am traveling to KL next week what's it like with the drone out there is it a big issue, I am taking mine but always a bit hesitant ...amazing video

[@PRATIKJAINvlogs]

such a great transformation in 2 months...I visited batu caves 2 months before

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Yeah, I'm super impressed. I saw footage taken from a few months ago and the caves were covered with scaffolding for some much needed renovations. I'm so happy we got there after all the work, it's so beautiful inside!

[@sivagamymaniam2391]

Tq guys god bless both of you

[@askalanmkazee4869]

I guess there are much more tourists visiting Batu Caves than other world famous ancient temples like Angkor Watt and Borubudur

[@joshuachad]

Hey Twojays Stepaway! The tune Follow The Trail by Future Joust is lit, a throwback to the 80s, which is awesome! The best time to visit Batu Caves is during Thaipusam. The festival commemorates the occasion when Parvati gave Murugan a Vel "spear" so he could vanquish the evil demon Soorapadman. During this time, you will see devotees with pierced skin, tongue or cheeks with vel skewers carrying milk pots or kavadis as a ceremonial sacrifice and offering emphasizing debt bondage. The Kavadi itself is a physical burden through which the devotees implore for help from Murugan. Next year Thaipusam will be on 21st January. Just giving you a heads up if you decide to visit Malaysia again! 😅 And yes, you have my unwavering support for your channel... who wouldn’t ? I had a blast watching it! 😊

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Oh wow, thank you for providing such wonderful details about Thaipusam - I love learning new things about different cultures (I am a huge fan of storytelling, so I love it when history meets mythology). While we will probably not be in Malaysia at the end of January, I will keep this festival in mind for future visits :) There is so much to see here, so I'm sure we will want to come back at some stage. Thank you so much!

[@liveurlyfchannel9641]

welcome to the land of diversity

[@dariusz501]

Great vid as always. Come to genting highland. It is a city on the sky. Only 40min bus drive from kl sentral.

[@bontotgemok]

KL is an amazing city. But you should also see other sides of Malaysia. The beaches, other states streets & street foods. Should give Penang, Ipoh, Malacca, Perhentian / Redang Island or Langkawi Islnd a visit. If you need a breath of cooler fresh air, go to Cameron Highland & Genting Highland. Cooler & cleaner air and weather over there.

[@bontotgemok]

And also head over to Borneo for awesome beaches & islands.

[@sunval2669]

Superb.

[@islamicveritas2]

Hey again guys. Great video just like the previous two! I hope you did get to participate in the Merdeka celebrations in Putrajaya yesterday. In case you don't already know, it's the administrative capital of Malaysia and the first so-called intelligent city in the world. And remember to check out those man made pyramids I suggested lol. I'm sure you will like it there.

[@ftinftin8937]

islamic veritas Somehow this year's celebration is a bit shorter n less pompous. Short n simple nonetheless still amazing n exciting. Probably cos it's a Friday where the majority Muslims had to perform their Friday prayers mid afternoon.

[@ijamijam7108]

Welcome to my country.. Hope everything is fine and have a nice dayyyyyyyyyy.....✌🤗

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Thank you so much :) While I have enjoyed the other countries we visited this year, Kuala Lumpur is really shaping up to be my favourite city. There's just something so magical about this city (and I know I say that about almost every other place, but KL feels like home; I don't know what it is though. I blame all the iced teas, coffees & juices...)

[@ijamijam7108]

Twojays Stepaway Hahaha.. Sweettttt...👍..

[@oppoasss1791]

I am from england but this batu caves to beautiful

[@fahdimnida6633]

You guys ! I recommend you guys to go to : Putrajaya. There, you can go to putrajaya parks , such as : -putrajaya botanical garden -putrajaya wetland park Also, you can have mosque tour which is very interesting. The main mosques are: - putra mosque putrajaya - “masjid besi” You might consider to have a relaxing dinner or early dinner at this eatery at “Ayer@8” putrajaya. Eat while enjoyibg the view of lakeside. The restaurant i recommend is “Slero d timur” cuz they serve the best thai and malay food fusion. Dont forget to order their “spicy mud crab noodle”

[@gireshsachdev3976]

Stay awesome 👍

[@revisiteddust2419]

😍 😍 😍

[@highsky5888]

owh..you guys are from SA.i was wondering coz you both are quite courteous!i hope the train you got to batu caves was not delayed..ktm commuter delay is notorious here.another nice video!👍💕

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Aww thank you! That is really nice of you to say :) We really don't like imposing or annoying anyone - just a habit we've picked up (or it's our personalities - I dunno!). As for the trains, you would not believe how lucky we were. We got to the station with a good 20 minutes to spare heading to the caves, and when we left, the train doors closed a good 5 seconds after we got on - I see the scheduling is a bit off because of the maintenance they're doing on the rails, but I'm just happy there is a train going at all! In South Africa, getting around is a bit more tricky :( I'm so in awe of the public transportation in Kuala Lumpur.

[@judedavid]

I just subscribed to your vlog. I like the vibes you all put out in your videos. Keep it up. Let me know if you need anything while you're in KL. Thanks..

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Aww, thank you! I swear, it's all Jannie :) He's like a kid in a candy store - nothing can beat his child-like wonder and energy. But that's why I love him (gushiness aside, thank you for the comment, it's really a boost to the spirits of a new KZbinr) - Jeanette

[@judedavid]

@@TwojaysStepaway try out foods of Malaysia. Esp Chinese and Indian food. If you are OK with pork, thats even better. But seriously please feel free to contact me to take you guys around if you run outta ideas. I am Malaysian and my dad in Indian and my mom is chinese. So i have a mix of both worlds esp in terms of food hahaha...

[@ayaidelarocha7209]

Next stop, Cameron Highlands 😁

[@arifrosli3305]

Do visit our night markets.. Literally food heaven.. Cheap too

[@aimandino8102]

Went to Penang Island? There's a lot of food paradise 😍

[@moila04]

Hello. Great videos. I am flying to Kuala Lumpur next week!. So excited, but I'm worried that it will rain in September?. Please tell me if the weather will be good, will it rain :(? Staying there for 9 nights

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Hello! And thanks :D We hope you enjoy your visit, this city is amazing. I don't really have a lot of knowledge about the weather systems in KL, but from our experience we've had a few really strong (but short) tropical thunder storms with some rain. I would pack or grab an umbrella/poncho just in case. A quick search on Google says you can expect on average 11 days of rainfall during the month of September, which isn't too bad 😀

[@pahangisful]

Welcome to KL

[@krish8852]

guys you was missing one thing at there the cave and mini reptiles zoo at that place

[@animeisweird4077]

Welcome to malaysia

[@parthxx20]

Colourful steps, Amazing place and Stunning flimmaking .... Keep up Twojays Stepaway👍👍

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Thank you so much :D Jannie really enjoys trying to find new, fun and creative ways to share our footage with all his editing work. We're glad you enjoyed it

[@krish8852]

but mind it that place is only for praying not filmaking

[@xma4470]

Go to Cherating, Redang or Perhentian island.....

[@bimba-lola8910]

yes Redang ,Perhentian and Cherating my favorite places for rest and Relax after hard working in KL,,,i love this all places Beautiful with sunny white Beach and the longes beaches in East coast Terengganu and Pahang so Beautiful Village,,

[@emersonchua98]

Hey, I wanna ask that did you have to buy tickets to access to the cave? Cuz I have been searching it around and I’m not sure if we need buy a ticket or not to be able to get into it

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Hey there, the only cost you need to account for is the train ticket to get there (if you're not staying in the area already). The train tickets are really cheap, roughly 5 MYR return per person from KL Sentral Station - just check the timetable for the trains (when we went there was a train leaving roughly every hour). There was no charge to get into the caves. Enjoy the visit, the caves are really beautiful :)

[@emersonchua98]

Twojays Stepaway cool bro, thanks a lot!

[@praba991ify]

I grew up here

[@TwojaysStepaway]

It's a wonderful place to grow up. The mountains and hills, and all the green of the flora are so beautiful 😍 - Jeanette

[@mrmagicman7956]

Hi can i ask what camera are you using to record this?

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Of course, we only have the one camera body and lens. We're using the Sony a6500, with the Sony 18mm-105mm f4 G lens. It's pretty kick-ass 😁

[@laksmanahanzo]

2nd..woohooo.. hei guys..

[@nitish3662]

[@krish8852]

[@anywherewithphil9841]

Very nice video. I know Batu caves are amazing… I went there a few year back with my two older sons. In fact I have a video about the caves on my channel, it’s episode number 13... take a look.

[@MHaffiezMNazri]

What an underrated video! I hope it's not to late to welcome you both to the land of food, food, and nothing but delicious food! LOL! Welcome to Malaysia! Need any tips? Let me know what state you are or plan to go and I'd be more than helpful to assist!

[@TwojaysStepaway]

We're loving all the generous welcomes to Malaysia, so thank you! We're currently spending our last week in KL, and then we're heading to Penang for a short bit - I've been hearing Penang is really an awesome place to explore Malaysian food culture. Any foods in particular we should look out for?

[@MHaffiezMNazri]

@@TwojaysStepaway cendol, rojak, if you are in malacca there is pork satay. Im so sorry the past few days have been super busy for me.

[@jimkaiyiat4297]

The opening music reminds me of Kung Fury. Haha

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Haha! I love this movie - now that you say it I can hear it.

[@fufsayd]

if Bruce Wayne find this cave first...

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Oh, thank goodness he hasn't. Can you imagine all the gloom & doom that would emanate from the caves instead!?

[@abbynarishkin9025]

Hello! I'm a video producer for INSIDER in New York and we're working on a video of the newly-painted Batu Caves. Can we feature your clip in our video? We'll be sure to give you clear, onscreen credit. Also, if you have a longer version of the clip at 4:07 that we could use, you can send it to my email [e-mail]. Thank you!

[@TwojaysStepaway]

Yeah, that sounds great! That particular clip isn't very long, but I'll see what I've got and send it through - Jan

[@abbynarishkin9025]

Great, thank you so much!

[@rohitadhatrao6877]

actually, most hindu temples are living temples, a bustling area for commerce and worship existing side by side, you could have gone and worshipped there, with your cameras, all is a celebration, and importantly, you can visit a temple even in a two piece or nude, there are no such dress codes and restrictions, they are just today's societal norms.

[@shantiq439]

No wrong. There is dress code. Pls cover legs no shorts

[@krish8852]

there has dress code can't wear shorts and short hand shirt until see your armpits because we must respect god
