Drawn by the siren call of Gua Tempurung

Spelunking or caving is not a sport for the faint-hearted, and especially not for the claustrophobic. Depending on what kind of cave you’re visiting, you might have to crawl through tight enclosed spaces, climb up steep cliffs, be lowered into the darkness, or even swim through underwater caverns. Star2.com visited two caves near Gopeng, Perak. Yesterday, we featured Gua Kandu; today, we head to Gua Tempurung.

After visiting Gua Kandu, we departed for the spectacular underground world of Gua Tempurung, also in the state of Perak. Unlike Gua Kandu, Gua Tempurung is a wet cave with a clear stream running through its bowels.
