Largest Golden Hindu Tamil statue
#tripxplorproject
I explored Batu Caves, a mesmerizing geological marvel in Gombak, Selangor, Malaysia, boasting a complex of caves and Hindu temples dedicated to Murugan. Its ancient limestone origins date back 400 million years, and it's revered as one of the most significant Hindu shrines outside India. Founded in 1890 by K. Thamboosamy Pillai, the site has been a focal point for religious worship and cultural celebrations, particularly during the annual Thaipusam festival. Despite enduring historical events, such as the 1942 Communist Party meeting, Batu Caves remains resilient, symbolizing the enduring spirit of faith and devotion. In 2018, its 272 steps underwent a vibrant makeover, sparking a debate over conservation and modernization. Nevertheless, Batu Caves continues to stand as a testament to the convergence of nature, spirituality, and human endeavor, inviting all to experience its profound beauty and historical significance.

Watch Ocean From Penang Hill
#tripxplorproject
Penang Hill is one of the famous spots in Penang. It has two ways to reach the hilltop—either by train or on foot. I chose to experience walking through the jungle path. As you start ascending, the first thing that captures your attention is a beautiful Chinese Buddhist temple with unique architecture. Inside the temple, there is a way to continue your journey.
After passing through a dirt trail, you come across a house dating back around 100 years. Along this historical path, you encounter numerous heritage houses, remnants of British colonialism. Continuing the journey, you enter a jungle path with various animals, especially cute monkeys, making it an interesting experience.
Finally, when you reach the hilltop, you find a lot of delicious restaurants, cafes, and various recreational activities. There are also historical buildings, temple, mosques, and a vibrant atmosphere.

Snakes are everywhere here 🫣 | Snake Temple
#tripxplorproject
During my visit to the Snake Temple in George Town, Penang, Malaysia, also known as the Temple of the Azure Clouds, I was immersed in its captivating atmosphere. Constructed in 1805, this ancient Chinese temple pays homage to Master Qingshui, a revered Buddhist monk renowned for his miraculous deeds. Legend has it that upon the temple's completion, snakes, particularly Wagler's pit vipers, began appearing spontaneously, adding to its mystical allure.
As I wandered through the temple's hallowed halls, I was struck by its rich history and spiritual significance. The air was filled with the fragrant smoke of burning incense, creating a serene ambiance. Amidst this sacred atmosphere, visitors encounter pit vipers, believed to be rendered harmless by the mystical energy of the temple. Additionally, the temple is home to a diverse array of snake species, offering a truly immersive experience for those brave enough to explore its depths.
Beyond its association with snakes, the Snake Temple boasts several notable features, including the revered "Dragon Eye Wells" and majestic brass bells, each with its own story to tell. In 2005, a snake breeding center was established within the temple premises, further enhancing its significance as a sanctuary for these mystical creatures. The Snake Temple's enduring legacy and cultural significance make it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of Penang's heritage.

The Head of Dragon is here 🐲 | Stone Dragon Hill
#tripxplorproject
Finally, I hiked Stone Dragon Hill. It wasn't a difficult hike; it took around 30 minutes to reach the top. At the summit, you'll find the iconic rock formation depicted in the first picture. There, I saw the Dragon's Head Rock, a stunning geological marvel evoking myth and reality. Upon reaching the summit, I was greeted by an awe-inspiring panorama that stretched across Penang City. The view was particularly enchanting as the sunset painted the sky with vibrant hues. It served as a mesmerizing escape, captivating me with its incredible scenery. On my way back home, I stumbled upon a durian farm managed by an elderly man. There, I indulged in the best durian I've ever tasted in Malaysia, and it happened to be the cheapest one I've found :D. Amidst the orchards, amidst breathtaking vistas, I found solace and a profound connection to nature. It was then that I realized I had discovered a slice of paradise in Penang.

The most Haunted Place in Malaysia
#tripxplorproject
Nestled within the verdant landscapes of Penang, amidst a tapestry of palm oil plantations in Nibong Tebal, lies a silent witness to a bygone era - Caledonia House. This grand colonial mansion, with its stately columns, symmetrical balusters, and imposing porticos, stands as a testament to the opulence of its time. Constructed in the 1840s for the illustrious Ramsden family, pioneers of the sugar industry in Port Wellesley, Caledonia House exudes an air of aristocratic elegance. This architectural marvel earned its moniker, "The 99-Door Mansion," owing to its sprawling layout adorned with 10 rooms, each boasting five or six doors. However, the shadows of history cast a pall over Caledonia House, particularly during the tumultuous years of World War II. Serving as the headquarters of the Japanese army during their occupation of Malaya, the mansion bore witness to the ravages of war.
Yet, it was in the aftermath of conflict that tragedy struck. In June 1948, John St Maur Ramsden, the scion of the Ramsden dynasty, met his untimely demise within the hallowed halls of Caledonia House. The echoes of his footsteps upon the grand staircase were silenced by two fatal shots, leaving behind a veil of mystery and unanswered questions. As the years passed, the once-thriving plantation fell into disrepair, succumbing to the relentless march of time and nature's reclaiming embrace. Rumors swirled around the dilapidated mansion, weaving tales of tortured souls and otherworldly encounters, perpetuating its mystique.Today, Caledonia House stands as a haunting relic of a bygone era, its weathered facade bearing the scars of time and neglect. Despite calls for restoration, the fate of this enigmatic mansion remains uncertain,
mirroring the enigma of its elusive owner.

Experience World War II | War Museum
#tripxplorproject
I visited the Penang War Museum, Southeast Asia's largest, perched atop Batu Maung Hill. Originally a British military fortress in the 1930s, it fell to Japanese forces in 1942, becoming a site of horror and imprisonment. Abandoned for decades, founder Johari Shafie restored it, preserving its history. Today, the museum offers a vivid portrayal of wartime life, with well-preserved structures and exhibits. Visitors, like Nasrullah, are moved by the museum's immersive experience, reflecting on the wartime atrocities depicted. Recognized by National Geographic and the International WWII Museum Association, it stands as a poignant reminder of the past and the importance of peace.

The Most Historic Mosque In Penang
#tripxplorproject
I visited the Kapitan Keling Mosque, a historic Islamic center in George Town, Penang, Malaysia, built in the 19th century by Indian Muslim traders. It's part of the city's World Heritage Site and stands at the heart of the Tamil Muslim neighborhood. Originally established in the early 1800s, it was founded by Cauder Mohuddeen Merican, known as the leader of the Chulias. The mosque underwent renovations in 1930, maintaining its traditional architectural elements while improving ventilation and lighting. The exterior is ochre yellow, and the interior features white marble floors and horseshoe arches adorned with geometric designs, reflecting Islamic artistic traditions.

Walk into British Castle in the heart of Perak
#tripxplorproject
Exploring Kellie's Castle felt like stepping into a forgotten tale. Despite its incomplete state, the castle's faded grandeur and intricate murals, including those of Lord Murugan's temple, captivated me. Legend spoke of a tunnel connecting it to the temple, adding to its mystery. The presence of descendants of Tamil laborers nearby echoed its past. Tragically, William Kellie-Smith's dream was never realized, leaving the castle abandoned. Now a popular tourist spot, recent renovations offer comfort to visitors, with a restaurant across the river providing stunning views. In 2015, the castle hosted the first-ever 24-hour comic challenge, adding another layer to its storied history.

Hey my friends
Once upon a time, I journeyed to Song Song Island, a hidden paradise off the coast of Yan, Kedah. It's pristine shores and lush greenery captivated me, offering tranquillity interrupted only by the soothing melody of waves.
