Temple on the mountain

Continue from my previous post.

Our destination on the top of Matang mountain was this Hindu temple. Sri Maha Mariamman Temple, built in 1897.




About 2500metre, we reached the 2nd shrine. A short stop before we continued the remaining 500metre trail.


Along the way we saw this sign telling us how many more metres to reach the temple. 

After slightly over an hour, we reached the foot of the temple.  Wasn't it a lovely sight! Look like a mini Batu Caves, with the red-coloured stairs. We didn't count the stairs, but it took us around 2 minutes to reach the temple on the top. It was not very long walking up those stairs.




The original stone structure as can be seen from what was left. 



The temple was clean and well taken care of.  The caretaker wasn't around and we hardly see anyone. 



Out of respect, we took off our shoes and have a quick look around. Most structure was maintained like the roof and the wooden structure.
This metal donation box right in the front attracted the kid. One pull to insert the money. A push and then a pull, the money was gone. 

The view on the top overlooking the mountain was mesmerizing. We were glad that we visited this temple and did the jungle trail. It was slightly over 2 hours for our overall adventure. A tiring hike but it was worth it. A hidden gem right at the back of our own backyard!

    1. Oh so the two hours include up and down. I would consider this to be very fast.
