Adventurous Gua Tempurung

Last 2 week on Sunday, just when I wanted to wake up for my class trip to Gua Tempurung nearby Kampar, rain was falling heavily outside and we have to cancel out trip due to safety reason. Then, the plan has postponed to the next day after we have discussed since we don't have class on Monday.

Before that, let me briefly introduce about Gua Tempurung. It is located in Gopeng, Perak. It is more than 3km long and is one of the longest caves in Peninsula Malaysia. There are a range of tours of different lengths and difficulty with different price and duration.

Monday's morning has arrived. I woke up on time to have my breakfast since we will straight away go to there. We gathered near 7-11 in Kampar here before we headed to Gua Tempurung about 20 minutes drive from Kampar. Thanks to 5 of our coursemates drived us to there. Most of our class people are joining this trip. We reached there around 9 in the morning but we cannot enter after we bought the tickets because we have to wait until 10. We choose the most difficult route. While waiting for the adventure to come, we walked around and snapped some pictures. And also prepared ourselves with touch light, plastic bag and camera.

The time we all waiting has arrived, finally, we can start our journey in the 'gua'. There are 4 tourists from California joined us as a group that will explore the journey together. The feeling before enter is scare, nervous and curious because according to the ranger there, we will have to crawl in some part of the journey in the water. Anyway, we have to go in also, so we started our journey after some briefing from the ranger.

As we just started to walk in not say very long, we already started to contact with water. Then, our clothes slowly getting wet as we walking deeper. Inside the cave, we have to relied on torch light for vision as there is no light at all. Walking in the cave was the wonderful experience, you can see different types of stones, stalagmites and very rare insects in the cave. Some part of the journey required us to crawl in the underground water river which is very small, slide down the hill and climb up the slippery hill, walk through the underground water river and go through the hole. The whole journey took us about 4 hours and we have a unforgettable experience which is not easy to gain. I recommend this place to everyone as it is really a nice place to visit. Come here if you want to have some good adventures.
