Cave Adventure of Perak
This is Gua Tempurung..it is a cave..you can either enjoy a casual exploration or and adventure exploring..you chose your own level..but as for both exploration..you still need stamina and fit to climb the stairs to reach platform 5 that is top of the world level..
So keep in mind that u need to wear a proper attire with proper shoe..if u bring ur kid or baby..i suggest if u use carrier as it will help u better..if u want to do the adventure exploring..please bring together extra clothes because it’s gonna be wet..not to forget to bring accessories like torchlight and waterproof case for your phone..whichever level u choose..u won’t regret it because the view and the ambience is much more amazing than what u captured..

Gua Tempurung is located at Ipoh!
Not sure if y'all know that Ipoh is not only famous for the food but caves as well!
This is one of my favorite caves in Ipoh and is one of the “must-go” places when my friends visit Ipoh. There are different activities and trails based on your fitness level, please bring extra clothes if you are planning to be adventurous as you will get wet! Be reassured that there will be a tour guide to guide you along.
For those with kids or family can choose the easy path, but just take note that the stairs can be quite slippery, make sure to wear a good pair of shoes :)
It’s really a beautiful place and it’s windy! worth a visit!

Gua Tempurung or Tempurung Cave
Gua Tempurung is located in Gopeng. It is the largest known cave system of numerous limestone hills surrounding Ipoh. If you are fit and physically strong, this is a great place to explore incredible nature with a workout. Crazy climb up and down. There are many steep stairs and it is not recommended for anyone with poor fitness and heart condition. You can choose to have a dry tour which covers two parts of the cave. Please wear sport shoes and not slippers, and long trousers. The 4 hour tour is a wet tour. You will go past the wet tunnels; you need to have a waterproof bag for your phone etc.

Stunning view!
Gua tempurung is located at Gopeng, Perak,Malaysia.
Here,you can choose few tour here depends on what you wanna do.Wet or dry tour.Since we came here with kids,we choose tour 2.Dry tour without tour guide. You can just walk at your own leisure until platform 5.
You have to going up and down stairs to reach the platform.Honestly, it's so tiring until i feel my knee shaking and my heart beating heavily.You can just stop few minutes and enjoy the scenery inside there.So mind blowing!
At first I wanted to turn back, but since this is my first caving,i don't want to miss the experience.
Overall, it's worth and really a unique experience.We enjoyed the journey.We can learn about stalagmite and stalactite.Owh ya,if you choose the wet tour,you have to crawl in the river at the lower part of the cave.So,don't forget to bring water and wear proper attire. You gonna sweat a lot.

Track 2 (Dry Tour) - Gua Tempurung
An unplanned #cave trip after leaving #ipoh. Despite the unassuming entrance, you'll definitely be amazed by the deep and vast cave inside. Overall the cave is very clean and I will definitely come back to try the wet tour next time. #gopeng

Gua Tempurung, Gopeng
Gua Tempurung, located 25km south of Ipoh near Gopeng, is probably the largest cave in Peninsula Malaysia and has plenty to attract the serious caving enthusiast, the adventure seeker or just the casual visitor.
A lot of work went into creating this massive cave. First of all this entire area, known as the Kinta Valley, needed to be covered by sea.
Billions of microscopic marine organisms had to die and fall to the ocean floor where their tiny shells were compressed into limestone.
Meanwhile millions of specs of calcium carbonate contained in drops of dissolved limestone coagulated together at an infinitesimally slow rate to create the wonders of stalagmites and stalactites.

With its stunning rock formations, underground rivers, and adventure-packed trails, Gua Tempurung is a must-visit destination for nature and thrill-seekers alike.
Walking into Gua Tempurung feels like stepping into another world. The cave’s name, which means “Coconut Shell Cave,” comes from its dome-shaped chambers that resemble the inside of a coconut shell.

The cave offers several tours of varying lengths and difficulty levels. For those seeking a leisurely experience, the Dry Tour covers well-lit walkways and viewing platforms, making it ideal for families.

Had a great team building session at Gua Tempurung. The drive towards this cave was so relaxing and excited. Being fist timer all of us were thrilled and a bit anxious to proceed with the cave tracking. Overall, the journey was challenging and tested our physically abilities. Will recommend to go with level 3 to test your endurance.
