I’ve been a regular camper (thrice) at this place enshrouded in the depths of Temerloh. 25 caves, all “conveniently” congregated at a single area, making this one of the best places for cave exploration in West Malaysia. None of the commercial hoopla that caves in Perak provide. This is secluded. It was back in 1993 during my school camping trip that I learned about these caves. Am thinking of a “homecoming” trip in March 2007. Wanna join? :-)

Can’t remember what cave this was…

Magnifique

Looks like a painting, doesn’t it?

  5. Go Mulu!!!
    It’s the best caves in the world!

  6. yar Che-Cheh, join us…gallivanter will fill you in on the details of the next bloggers’ meet :)

  7. Jemima Without a doubt, Mulu is the best. But for those of us who destined to remain in West Malaysia, this is probably it. ;-)

    tihtahpah Indeed. We need to rope in a couple of new faces. :-D

  8. Beautiful pictures of the caves! Too bad I’m stuck here in Sabah. And yes, I think Mulu caves are the nicest, too!

  13. Hey Dude, You went there without me back in year 1993. Well a twist of event in 1992 have changed everything in a single day. My new school back then didn’t organise those adventure trips. What a miss. Malaysia have more to offer than anyone else can imagine. But unfortunately we have dont have many annual leaves like goverment servant

  14. meekiee Not a teaser, but a sneak preview of things to come. It is interesting, as I love cave exploration. :-) Let’s rope in a few blogging friends.

    endroo G Why Gua Telinga when one can have Mayat and Ular? Hehehehehe! I think eatingchaos may join us.

    Smokinlala Started la, ex-classmate? 1992 was aeons ago. Come join us this time around, it’s in March, so plenty of time for everyone to plan. The working dates are 2/3/4 March. Just need to apply 1 day leave. :-D

  15. I’ve been here in 1995.. awesome awesome place.. totally underrated. And really nice pictures you have there, really brings back memories :)

  16. thanks for the invite. i’ll come if i am in town.

    ps. tihtahpah: i was did a photoshoot of sam poh tong 2 days ago:P

  17. Izad Definitely underrated, which is good, else it’ll be too commercialized like those caves in Perak. If you wanna relive your memories, give me a holla… :-D

    philters Hope you would be able to join us. The more the merrier! :-P

  18. I’m still considering if I want to go, sounds like fun. But one thing I must ask though…

    Can we play PICTIONARY in those caves?

  19. Joash Dude, come man, there’s a number of strangers/friends who are gonna go. Join in the fun, make a movie! :-D

  20. Wowwww…those pics are really interesting. Sadly, I don’t think I’d be able to join you guys (I’m VERY interested though). *sigh* gotta work on Sat :-(
