Idea for weekend day trip - Gua Tempurung, Gopeng, Perak.
Phewwhh! What a nice feeling to wake up and not having to get into office clothes and start looking like everyone else.
Weekends are always filled with activities to get as near as possible with nature. For those who have not been in any cave, this is a cheap and easy start. Great as team building activity for company's with no time for long trips or to bring friends and cousins instead of the usual tengok wayang, pergi PD, and unsightly waterfalls in Ulu Langat. For couples, instead of doing your boring routine of watching DVD's at home, then end up making out, go do something different.
To finish the entire cave plus cave appreciation takes 4 hours. Be sure you'll lose so much calories. It's clean and well lit, the concrete steps to go upwards are well structured.
Location: 1 plus hours from Damansara Toll.
Use North-South Highway by exiting through the Gopeng
interchange (about 25km south of Ipoh).
Very stressless journey on the highway 3/4 of the route.
Cheap Ticket rate: RM9-RM15 per person depending on route type.
Grade: Take the Supreme Tour if you're an adventure seeker.
What to Bring
Camera,Good walking shoes,Change of clothes,Towel,Toiletries,Insects Repellent ,Torch Light : All in well harnessed backpack.
The stalagtites and stalagmites form mysterious statues that makes your surrounding a breathtaking gallery. There's only one tourist guide that takes one group at a time around the whole cave, without him, you will only be able to get 1/5 of the knowledge and fun. So I recommend calling them (Tel : 603 - 2070 8667) and book the time if you're going in a group of 10, if not, you can just tag along with others.
Not on rainy days! The water level goes up and usually they'll allow you to only wander on the dry route for 1 hour.
Tips: I recommend that you shouldn't read too much about it before you go except studying the map, then you are surely in for a surprise on your way out of the cave! If you're going back South, stop by Yik-Mun Pau Restaurant at Tanjung Malim for a hot cup of coffee, Mee Hailam and the famous Yik-Mun Pau... fuiiyoo! Wholesome mini vacation I tell yewh!
