Explore Malaysia : Gua Tempurung Caving Experience

The second year in a row I went to the famous cave - Gua Tempurung

Our traveling group made it to the Gua Tempurung cave

Five hours in the dark for some people might seem very weird and something you won’t do, but believe me it is so much fun especially if you enjoy challenges and physical activities.
I don’t want you to find this as a spoiler or something, as this is not a brand new movie :P, in case you are planning what to do for one of the weekends with your friends, I would highly recommend this for you.

First, you get the helmet and the guide, who will be always with you and ensure you are safe.
Better bring your own torchlight otherwise you might need to follow people, so you can at least see where you are stepping into.

The first hour is mostly walking up the stairs, there are ten or twelve stations, where you stop so the guide can explain you some of the nature art inside of the cave. (it is very funny actually, especially with right people when you come up with your own description of what you see and how it happened to be there)

After that part starts the fun part, being in the dark and going through all the obstacles, that are on the way: hiking, climbing, swimming, sliding and etc, but let me start in order.

My friend cannot go without her phone even if it is going to the cave

But yey, I have the photos

I feel having a smaller group (we were about 40 people overall with the guide) will be much more faster and more fun, as we would not need to wait for people to come.

We were walking to the highest pick of the cave, I don’t exactly remember what was there, but after that part there was such a beautiful stop for 30 minutes in nature (mid spot of the tour)

So gorgeous view

The 30 minutes before going back into darkness

After the stop in this nice place, we had anther two kms to go and I enjoyed them the most, because they include swimming and sliding and going through the small whole.
I have the trick, where I would follow the guide and be the second or sometimes first before him, so I dont get tired and gain more energy while waiting for others. I learned this from the prevous guide we had last year, who told me this secret.

Exhausted group of people after five hours in the cave

I believe, this is it, shorter than I expected, but pretty much everything.

Looking forward to your questions regarding this cave and also other recommendations, where else I can go in Malaysia.

Thanks for your time and comments,
