Gua Tempurung is a magnificent, natural limestone cave located near the township of Gopeng, approximately 15 km from southern part of Ipoh city. The 1.9 km stretch of cavern is accessible from the North-South Expressway through Gopeng interchange.
Gua Tempurung is the largest limestone cave in the Peninsula Malaysia. The formation of stalactites and stalagmites because of continuous dripping of mineral-rich water from the ceiling of the cavern has started since 400 million years ago. Stalagmites grow upward from the ground, and they will eventually meet with the stalagmites developing from the ceiling. After millions of years, today, many of the stalactites and stalagmites form solid columns with colorful and unique arts.
