VISIT TO GUA TEMPURUNG

 My nephew Keefe and his friends from Singapore are in Malaysia for a visit.  Last weekend they were in Ipoh and today they are in Pangkor.  When they were in Ipoh, I took them to visit Gua Tempurung.  These limestone caves in Gopeng are a tourist attraction in Perak.

 Here you see my nephew Keefe (from left), his girlfriend, Jia Han, Sean, Kai Feng and Bryan.

The Wondrous Caves

One of the most majestic white marble and limestone towers in Malaysia is the Gunung Tempurung. Concealed within this limestone massif is an intricate system of caves of various dimensions honeycombed inside the limestone hills. These caves are actually a breathtaking gallery of stalagmites and stalactites and other amazing rock formations which are superb speleogical wonders found only in this part of the world.

GUA TEMPURUNG is the main attraction here. The cave meanders under the limestone hill and forms a tunnel of wondrous and endless rock formations that runs from east to west, nearly 2 km in length.
