The Gua Tempurung is one of the few names we learnt back in Geography subject back in secondary school. Consider as largest limestone cave (batu kapur) in the country, if I had visited this cave back in school days it will make my Geography class far more interesting. But well, I guess it is never too late to learn now.
Gua Tempurung is guided tour given every hour from 9am onwards while their last tour is at 4pm. There are 4 type of tours to be chosen from easy peasy to challenge your physical ability. Since we came with elderly and a little girl we opt for an easy one. If you are an explorer, tour number 3 and 4 is highly recommend because one get to explore the cave deeper and returning route is via river. Remember to bring own touch light and extra pair of clothes for change because you were expected to get wet. The Rangers said these two tours only operated up to 12.30pm for safety reason. We definitely will return to try out.
Tour packages and their prices is shown here.
To manage tourist expectations, pictures is provided to give your a feel of what to expect from the tour.

Highly recommended if you are visiting Ipoh.
The cave is interesting and beautiful - something different from our daily routine. Two local movies were made in this cave namely Cicak Man 2 and Duyong. Staircase was build inside the case to make the journey a lot easier. Not suitable for family with young children (5 years old and below) and elderly.
