The Dark Cave 2

Gua Kelam located between Padang Besar and Kangar, Perlis. Going for a detour to this cave on the way back home is no big deal. The last time we visited this place was 8 years ago. But that was Gua Kelam. Now this is Gua Kelam 2. One of the most distinctive cave in Msia with 3.6km in length.

We bought the tickets (RM5 for adult and RM3 for kid), climb the stairs behind the ticket counter and wait for the train here. Thank god there are not so many visitors that day. We took the front seat.

Banjaran Nakawan, this is the entrance to the tunnel which leads to the cave. Seronok ada, gayat pun ada. Under this waiting area bridge is a river.

This Gua Kelam 2 equipped with mini trains to take you inside. For now, the train only goes half way and then we can take a walk there. The train is like a small roller-coaster with a battery powered locomotive. Once arrived in the cave, the driver will tell some history of the cave.

Gua Kelam 2 was once a tin mine hundreds of years ago and a place for communists to hide. This is one of the place.

Gua Kelam 1 is where visitors have to walk along the wooden passageway. You don't get the 'feel'. But Gua Kelam 2 offers you a totally different experience such as this area.

The cool surroundings, with water gushing down, make our walk interesting. This cave has been converted to show cave for it's geological dan historical values.

It was a 15 minutes, loud and bumpy ride. The walls of tunnel is so close to you. Then we have to continue our journey by foot along 2km concrete walkaway. The train can easily accomodate about 20 people per trip. This interesting experience reminded me of a Scooby Do cartoon character who were always chasing ghost in a cave and then the train suddenly came to stop.

Those who are interested to feel the different are invited to come here.
