Once you arrive at the 'top' you walk past some trinket shops (Hindu trinkets) an then on to a larger area which has a temple where people get their forehead rubbed for a few quid - not tourist-oriented but anyone can go and have it done.Originally Posted by beerlaodrinker
Further on there are more steps up and loads of monkeys and not much else aside from an 'open top' which shines on the lush vegetation quite nicely
It's definitely worth it . . .

Currently there is a bit of brouhaha because the Selangor state religious authority raided the Christian printing offices and confiscated Malay language bibles that contain the word 'Allah' for 'God'.
It's quite a long story why they exist and why they are allowed in Borneo but not on the peninsula . . . long story short the government went to town on JAIS (the Islamic Council) and the bibles were returned and the radical fruits got a black eye.
When Malaysia advertises itself as the moderate Islamic country it really is the case.

I do quite a bit of consultancy work for Tourism Malaysia and the Malaysian Tourist Board and it's quite astounding how different the tourists are that arrive here as opposed to Thailand . . . and Malaysia ranks 8th in the world in tourist entries.
Still there's lots to do to ramp up the infrastructure to cope with the ever-increasing numbers.
Love the place
Malaysia Boleh!
