⚠️WARNING FEMALE VISITORS. When entering from the Grab drop-off, we were immediately ushered into this side. We don’t mind supporting local businesses or attractions since I don’t think the price was unreasonable for entry but the guide in this photo made the experience very unpleasant.
It was at the highest cave on the right side while climbing up. This guide touched my friend and I inappropriately as he was “helping” us to climb behind the blue-green Rama Statue. At first I thought it was an accident as it happened to me twice but as I was sitting outside with my friend, wearing our shoes. I told her I’m not willing to give a tip as he touched me inappropriately and I wasn’t sure if it was accidental until she told me that it happened to her as well and he did it to her at least thrice.
I think there’s a very clear difference between touching/holding one’s shoulder or waist to help them climb through uneven grounds but there is NO NEED to touch the chest area OR GRAB OUR BODY.
I immediately went down to tell an older Indian lady about my experience and she was very helpful in informing her boss and management. I’m grateful that they heard me out and apologised but it was a very hurtful experience as I thought this was a respected place where people come to visit and learn more about the religious history.
Overall, I think it was an okay attraction to visit if you like caves and neon lights with bits of history of Sri Ramayana but I would avoid letting the guides take pictures for us or to...
