Cave Of Darkness, Malaysia

Recently I have uploaded some photo during my visits to Perlis, Malaysia. These photo was taken at Cave of Darkness or ‘Gua Kelam’ in Malay language. You can view it by clicking here.

Gua Kelam is situated at Kaki Bukit, Perlis. The cave is about 370 meter long and is made of lime stone settlement for million years ago. At one time Gua Kelam is famous as a tin mine for its high quality tin. The cave is also use as a passage way by the people between Wang Kelian and Kaki Bukit. The original cave was widened by a British resident in year 1935 for the extraction of tin. In 1970 a hanging bridge was built by a local Dato’ Long Ah Tong at a cost of RM 15000. In 1988, the Perlis State Government handed over the cave to the State Agriculture department. The length of the whole cave is lighted for tourist to admire the beauty of stalagmite and stalactite.

Some of the photos have color cast because of the lightning in the cave. It is because my Nikon 3200 digital camera cannot cope with different color of lightning properly. Maybe some time I will edit it in Photoshop to make it a lot better. If you want to travel to Malaysia, ‘Gua Kelam’ is a place you must visit.
