Gua Tempurung
One of the largest limestone caves on the Malay Peninsula, about 3 km long. Visitors can choose a dry cave tour or an underground river adventure with wading.
Gua Tempurung is located near Gopeng, about 25 km south of Ipoh. The cave is roughly 3 km long, with five large domes, and its stalactites and stalagmites are spectacular. Guided tours of varying difficulty are offered. The dry cave tour takes about 40 minutes along wooden boardwalks. The “river adventure” involves wading and crawling through an underground river for about 3 hours, so wear clothes that can get wet and non-slip shoes. Tickets range from about RM20–60 depending on the route (check on site), and the cave may be closed on Mondays or Tuesdays. It is best reached by self-drive or taxi.
