Gua Tempurung


Malaysian caves are filled with mystery and some of nature's most beautiful sculptures. Most of the caves in the country date back to the Stone Age while some caves in Sarawak are over 60 million years old.
Some of the biggest and longest caves in the world can be found in Malaysia. Some of them are archaeological sites while others have underground rivers and beautiful stalagmite and stalactite formations.

These limestone caves are home to local fruit bats and birds; many of Malaysia’s caves remain unexplored by cavers.

Beautiful caves can also be found in Peninsula Malaysia such as Batu Caves (Kuala Lumpur), a Hindu temple that is also a prime tourist destination especially during Thaipusam; and Gua Tempurung (Perak), which is a show cave that offers visitors spelunking activities.
