"so, so, so worth the long climb up"
"No selfies .. it is disrespectful to the buddhist culture"
Buy tickets at the main road office, not the Golden Temple entrance
Climb through jungle heat to reach five ancient caves carved into a granite cliff, their walls alive with 2,000-year-old murals and over 150 golden Buddha statues. The spiritual hush inside feels worlds away from the sweat and monkey chatter of the ascent.
