So, back to the trip, the whole journey was very tiring and exhausting. I will simplify the whole excitement to a much shorter story here. If you would like to find out what this cave is all about you can easily savor all the information available in Google but I am here to share the experience and feelings that I went through. There were a lot of up and downs. I mean real up and downs..! We were told by our supportive tour guide to climb up the steep stones and glide down the slippery ones. My family wouldn't have made it to the end if my father and cousin brothers weren't there to assist us to pass through the tough areas. Trust me, I was almost helpless when it comes to the slippery gigantic rocks because we were not provided with anything to hold on and my shoes were not doing much help. Not to mention that my sister sprained her ankle in the process. But I will have to admit that the challenge wasn't really complained by the male group although they were asked, maybe forced, to go through the obstacles by themselves without having anyone to hold them if they were to fall off.
The journey got more thrilling when we entered the dark area. We were told to solely depend on the only light source we had which was from the torchlight. We brought only three torchlights which we thought was enough but we were proved to be wrong when we were told to cross certain passages individually. Some part of the cave was very low which required us to do duckwalk. Some of the tourists were shocked by the need to travel down the low rocks but they should have noticed that they might be stuck in there if they were to decide not to travel the way as shown by the tour guide. These are some of the pictures we took inside the cave.

Cool experience! Can you see what's inside the cave? The stalactites and stalagmites? Is it mesmerizing to see it? I've been to Gua Kelam in Perlis, there's not much extreme stalagmites, and its tourist friendly so we just need to walk on the platform, without any adventure. We were not needed to do duckwalks, so we made duckfaces. LOL just kidding.
I noticed that your sister is wearing the green MMU t-shirt. She's an MMU student?
HAHA, Dursharl, I went there before with my schoolmates. It was so fun and maybe we can go together again with TEAM IX members in one day?:)
Yeah,we got to see what was inside the cave but didnt manage to take pictures of it because it was hard enough to walk in there what more to take pictures..There were lots of shining and giant stalagmites and stalactites(formation due to the dripping water).I did ducktalk, duckwalk and duckface altogether because it was just too weird to do the duckwalk alone...hehe...And yes my sister is in mmu, doing foundation of management.
Wow really...It must have been one of your unforgetable memories.It will be real fun if we get to go there together.:-)
We should go together one day. I'd like to see you do the ducktalk,duckwalk and duckface.LOL!
GUA TEMPURUNG, very nice place with nice tourist guide. :) I went there in may but can't finish the whole track due to the earthquake incident in indonesia. Was the water path open when you travel there?
Yes, all the paths was made available to us. The water level was up almost to my knees. The water was very cold but it was fun.
