Gua Kelam
One of the most unique caves in Malaysia as it's a 370-metre long limestone
cave where it's famous for its 'cave walk'. It's among the favorites cave for
the adventure seekers.
You will enter from one end of the cave and come out at a different location.
The only path in is via a wooden suspension bridge measuring 8 ft wide walkway.
The hollow limestone path is believed to be the idea of an Englishman that
converted this cave as a method of transporting tin from a mine near the stream
entrance of Kaki Bukit.
Today the walk path is brightly illuminated, where you can still find remnants
of time mine operation inside. The sound of squeaking bat and dripping water
from the stalactites may be soothing for some and spooky for others!
After a hard day work in the cave, you can drop by the Wang Kelian Sunday Market
to quench your thirst; fill your stomach and get some souvenirs home too.
