Batu Maloi Cave- Unique Adventure Caving

This challenging arena is just waiting to be discovered by 

adventure seekers, it’s 2hr drive from Kuala Lumpur or 

thirty-five minutes from Tampin. 

Thrill seekers, Take note! There is a place for you to check 

out if you are into adventure and extreme outdoor activities.
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 sometime 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!

Still, would-be explorers are advised not to go in without a 

guide especially because water levels in the cave have been 

known to rise extremely fast after heavy downpours, leading to 

unwitting explorers being trapped inside.

Thus, it is advisable for you to explore the cave in groups of

at least three with an experienced guide. It may be suitable for 

beginners to try out the easy route and the more experienced 

ones can try out the more difficult once.

Risks aside, the 2-4 hours Batu Maloi Cave exploration trip 

offers a challenging and memorable experience for those who 

dare to enter.
