Deep within the jungles of Malaysia is one of the most majestic
white marble and limestone towers called Gunung Tempurung.
Within these limestone, is an intricate system of caves
of various dimensions inside the hills. These caves are
actually a gallery of stalagmites and stalactites and amazing
rock formations which are found only in this part of the
world.
Gua Tempurung, is located in Gopeng, Perak, and can be
reached from the North-South Highway by exiting through
the Gopeng Interchange (about 25 km south of Ipoh),until
reaching Kampung Gunung Mesah. As you drive through this
kampung area you begin to see the limestone hills in the
distance. The hills are believed to have existed since early
8000 B.C., and is probably the largest natural limestone
structure in Malaysia. Each of these domes has different
calcium formations and marble that exist in different temperatures
and water levels.
