hot patrol: Gua Kandu Exploring

continue from my previous post,after pergi rafting,after having delicious lunch, makan ayam kari, ikan goreng pedas, sayur campur, tauhu cina..perghh,,,mmg sgt best.mkn smpai kenyang..

ok..dh rafting,Maxx bwk pergi ke Gua Kandu..about 15 mins dr tmpat stop rafting...if from jalan besar kejap je..

Gua Kandu ni more natural if compared tu Gua Tempurung..tak ada tangga, tak ada lampu..just tali and wearing head lamps jek..

seperti biasa copy paste dr tenet.. infos about Gua Kandu

Gua Kandu is a small limestone outcrop near Kampung Jahang, Gopeng, and can be spotted easily from the North South Expressway. It is the 8 th largest cave in Peninsular Malaysia at 1100m long. Gua Kandu is a multi leveled and multi chambered cave with many unique formations within it. It is believed that a river used to run through the cave, but it has since dried up and is now a dry cave.

During the Malayan Emergency, Gua Kandu was used as a hideout by Chinese Communists. There are various evidence of it, in the form of cave carvings and drawings of communist slogans and symbols. Later, the Japanese army occupied Gua Kandu for some time during the occupation and it is said that the front of the cave was used as a storage bunker for a variety of things such as trucks, airplanes, supplies, and troops.

So, from starting point to cave entrance kena jungle trekking for about 500-800m..up and down the hill apa smua..and the track was slippery because baru after raining,,but then ada safty rope for us to hold and hang on if something happen :)

as arrived at the cave entrace,another briefing by Maxx about the condition we will facing dlm cave.. its really dark,and dusty. but sejuk and nyaman. masuk kedalam pon agak lama,mengharungi ruang2 yang kecil.tebing yang tinggi.panjat naik panjat turun..sgt seronok!. :D

so these are some of our pictures in the cave ;)
