One of the most majestic White Marble & Limestone
formations in Malaysia is the Tempurung Mountain.
Concealed within this limestone massif in an intricate system
of caves of magnificent proportions forming a honeycomb
inside the limestone hill. These caves are actually a
breath-taking gallery of Stalagmites, Stalactites, Rim
Stone Pools, Curtains, Straws, Flowstones, Crystals,
Pillars & other amazing rock formations,
which
are a sample of superb speleological wonders found only in
this part of the world. Tempurung Cave is the main
attraction here. The cave meanders under the limestone
hill forming a tunnel of wondrous and endless rock
formations that run from East to West with a stream
running through it nearly 1.9 KM in length. In early
1950 to 1960 this cave was used by the Communist as a hide
out as there are drawings and writings (in mandarin) found
on the wall at the Rolls Royce Chamber and also you will
see some tools left by Communist & miners (mining for
Tin) in the early 1970's at the Gergasi Chamber and a
beautiful hanging rock garden at Alam Chamber.
