This is said to be a 100 Million year old cave in Ipoh which is made suitable for public visit. This is a must go place and there are 4 levels to visit. we initially started with the basic for 30 minutes but ended up going upto the 3rd level (1.5 hours). Although we were with a child and Infant,... More

I planned the trip to Ipoh during the God Friday holiday. Why Ipoh because I just wanna try the so good coffee and chicken rice that I heard of always. However, I do want to try to see if there is something nature that I can see or experience, then I found this Gua Tempurong. A great one I would... More

Well, we are a bunch of lazy and unfit people so we chosed the Stage 1 of the 4 stages being offered. You can do more like going through the tunnels and getting wet and all but that's just not for us. It's a very beautiful and magnificient cave with walkway but climbing stairs up and down can be tiring.... More

Took the Grand Tour that supposed to be finished in 4 hours but it was completed in 6 hours! This was due to the poor tour management. We had like 70-80 persons in a one group and with one guide, so most of the time i spent waiting for others to complete the challenge thus we could move on to... More

One of the greatest joys to drive through Perak state is the wonderful views of the hills, green and more (and please do excuse the tactless butchery of the hills along the highway. Gua Tempurung is becoming more popular. I was not surprised to see more visitors coming to appreciate what Gua Tempurung has to offer. However, I am disappointed... More

There are four types of tours (all guided; see website: http://www.guatempurung.com/) and we made mistake by selecting the shortest one. Even for our 5 years old son it was too short because there is a lot too see there. The cave was beautiful and definitely worth visiting. If we'll be back in this area we'll definitely go for longer version.... More

Having visited a couple of caves before we turned up expecting they would have some torches available (or at least available to rent). Sadly they had nothing. We arrived at the recommended time (0930) to do the full tour however the restaurant was closed and our guide refused to go anywhere until he had eaten breakfast. At 1030 we began... More

Huge cave complex with easy access through all 5 chambers, and an optional caving experience for those ready and willing. We were not prepared to get wet or crawl through small spaces, and carting a baby, toddler, and senior didn't help either. So we just climbed the staircases to the "top of the world", looked down into the abyss and... More

You can go for a wet tour or dry one. We choose dry tour because we were with our 13 months baby. Actually it s not really a tour because you have to come back the same way. But anyway it s worth visiting, and I wish we could go for the wet tour (although I m not sure if... More
