                                 GUA BATU MALOI

Trekking through the Mount Tampin Forest Reserve track, observe the beauty of nature; wild shrubs growing in abundance, fallen logs and branches green with moss, the warmth of the sun filtering through the tall branches overhead, dried leaves and flowers scattered on the forest floor — the combination form a captivating picture usually found only in books and magazines. This lush rainforest with all its treasures is house to Batu Maloi Cave.

Your adventure to Gua Batu Maloi will begin way before you reach the cave system. Starting from Mount Tampin Forest Reserve, you must trek to the cave. However, tough as the trail may be, rest assured that you would be rewarded along the way by the startlingly beautiful foliage, the captivating greenery of the rich rainforest that holds the cave in its embrace.

This cave, formed beneath the masses of large rocks is one kilometer in length. A clear shallow stream lazily makes its way around the stones and boulders that make up the cave floor. The challenge of exploring this amazing granite cave will surely charm and enrich your experiences. The narrow and winding passage into the cave can prove to be quite perilous, especially in the dark.

One kilometer in length, the cave system has a stream that snakes across the stones and boulders of the floor while the chamber itself is fascinating to explore.It’s a very interesting Granite Cave formation; the river is actually making this formation happen from millions of years of water flow. It’s not any kind linked to limestone cave formations!! Big rocks block each other along the “trails” with dim sunlight breaking through in some places, forming a “ray of light” to pierce the darkness.

You can imagine a dark cave with lots of bats whizzing past and chilling water running above your body!! You need to squeeze and cram through small gaps and holes and sometimes submerge through holes in the cave to make your way through, making this one of the most fun-filled caving activities available. This is what makes that experience really fun!

for me batu maloi caves is all about togetherness of our class (DNS24). we lived here in our academy for two years and make an identity. this is one of the lifetime experience for us and we will remember this as a best  event of our friendship in ALAM.   ....love you guys and miss you :)
