Gua Tempurung was opened as a
show cave in 1998. A 1.6 km river passage runs through the cave, but the
total cave length is more than 4.5 km. The cave is fitted with
walkways, stairs and electric lighting. There are a variety of tours of
diferent lengths and degress of difficulty. Gua Tempurung is one of the
best caves in the Peninsula with a series of huge chambers and some fine
formations.
Location and access - Gua Tempurung is located at
Gopeng, 24 km south of Ipoh. Gopeng is accessible by the North-South
highway, or by the old Ipoh-Kuala Lumpur trunk road. The cave is about
4km off the main road, reached by a new access road. Cave is open every
day except for Hari Raya, and tours are conducted between 10am and 4pm.
There are 5 tours, ranging from RM6 to RM22. The shorter tours stay on
the walkways, the longer tours involve adventure caving in the river.
Unfortunately, despite access being controlled whereby everyone is
supposed to enter with a guide, the cave still suffers from litter. Even
the debris from the workmen is dumped in the cave.
