Gua Tempurung

Gua Tempurung tops the list of the most beautiful caves in Malaysia. Gua Tempurung, located 25 kilometers south of Ipoh near Gopeng, is Peninsula Malaysia's largest cave and offers plenty to offer serious cavers, adventure seekers, and casual visitors alike. Gua Tempurung offers a choice of trips with varying degrees of difficulty. Attempt a tough route via the cave's dark lower levels, or take the easier upper-level route with platforms and bridges.

In any case, Gua Tempurung is a fantastic project with fascinating rock structures and meticulous workmanship. In order to promote safety and comfort, the show cave has been outfitted with electric lighting and walkways. Visitors can admire exquisite stalactites in three enormous chambers, and a fine "cave river" travels along a 1.6-kilometer channel through the hill. The cave also has quantities of tin, marble, and other minerals in addition to limestone. Over the last century, there has been some small-scale tin mining in the cave. The cave was used as a hideout by communist guerrillas during the Malayan Emergency (1948-1960), and some of their graffiti can still be seen on the walls.
