Cave of Wanders

Fancy a visit to a cave? Not the "Sum Po Tong" in Ipoh nor Batu Caves, Kuala Lumpur but a magnificent system in the state of Perak.

Gua Tempurong cave passage in about 1 km long and has an active river running along it. It was reported to be the hideout for the notorious communist courier, Lee Meng during the Emergency years. Exploration can be made via a walkway up to Gergasi Cavern. Further exploration to the other side of the hill is possible via the river. One must be prepared to wade in the waters, often stooping and crawling along certain passages.
