The story
A limestone hill north of Kuala Lumpur with caves in it, a colossal gold Murugan at the foot, and a staircase somebody decided to paint every colour at once.
Two hundred and seventy-two steps, and the macaques will follow you up all of them. At the top the cave opens into a chamber with daylight falling through a hole in the roof onto a shrine, and the noise of the city is completely gone.

Know before you go
- Shoulders and knees must be covered; sarongs are rented at the base if needed
- The macaques take food, bottles and sunglasses — carry nothing loose in your hands
- Go early: it is 272 steps with no shade and Malaysia is humid by nine
- Thaipusam in January turns this into a festival of over a million people — spectacular, but plan for it
