The Cave of Darkness, called Gua Kelam in Bahasa Malaysia lies at the foothills of Perlis in a town called Kaki Bukit. Read more from here.
When you visit this tranquil yet intriguing place, be sure to wear proper shoes. Ladies are reminded that high heels is a no no. You won’t want to be stuck by your heels and create more adventures, but it would be a nice story to share though!
Some green lovers like me just simply enjoy the peace, lush and serenity. This is my Garden of Eden, my paradise.
But for some enthusiastic climbers, they have establish some climbing routes so you can see over 30 bolted routes in 6 climbing locations.
The walk through the cave is accompanied by the sound of flowing water, smell of bat guano and the impressive sights of stalactites, stalagmites, rim stone pools and other limestone formations.
Indeed Perlis have many lovely interesting places to visit. I will share more as time permits. Do share your thoughts on this if you have been to Gua Kelam.
