Gua Telinga

A limestone cave shaped like an ear, which visitors must crawl through a narrow passage to enter. The cave is home to bat colonies and toads, and it suits adventurous travelers.

Gua Telinga, meaning 'Ear Cave,' lies to the southwest of Kuala Tahan. You first cross the Tembeling River by boat, then hike about 1.5 km. The cave is about 80 meters long, with a small stream running through it. In some sections, you must crawl on hands and knees or wade through water. The cave is home to large numbers of bats, so it has a strong odor. You can traverse the entire cave by following a rope, which takes about 30 to 45 minutes. It is advisable to go with a guide and wear clothing that can get muddy, and bring a headlamp. Do not enter when the water level rises during the rainy season.
