Gua Maloi Caving
24th September 2016
Gua Maloi (Batu Maloi Cave) located in Tampin Forest Reserve which straddles the border between Negeri Sembilan and Malacca is a very interesting granite cave complex. Unlike most caves in the region which were formed by limestone erosion, Gua Maloi was formed by ancient tectonic plate movements. The resulting structure is a stack of huge granite boulders with a clear stream flowing underneath. In actuality, the “cave consists of gaps and passages between the boulders. Get ready for all sorts of maneuvers; sliding down slope, scrambling up slope, wriggling through crevices, duck-walking under low ceilings and wading through waters to complete the 3-4 hrs exploration through the labyrinth. During the exploration, you can also enjoy massaging in natural jacuzzis and dipping in “indoor pools” within the cave. After the caving adventure, we will proceed to Malacca for dinner and shopping at Jonker Street.
