So this is a little information about Gua Tempurung for you ^_^

Shell cave is a cave in Gopeng, Perak, Malaysia. It is popular among spelunkers, or
caving enthusiasts. About 3 km long, it is one of the longest caves
in Peninsula Malaysia. Part of it has been developed as a show cave with electric lighting
and walkways and there are a range of tours of different lengths
and difficulty. A fine cave river, the river runs about 1.6 km passage through the hill. There
 are three very large chambers and some spectacular stalactites
and stalagmites.

Located in Gopeng, about 24km south of the capital city of Ipoh in Perak, this limestone
cave is one of the largest in Peninsular Malaysia. Although not as
big as Cave Mulu and Niah Cave in Sarawak, beginners to caving exploration will be glad
to know that this cave is easy to explore. The tunnel of the cave
runs from the east to the west covering a distance of about 2km under the limestone hills known
Mount as shells and Elephant Mountain. It is made up
of five large domes and is believed to have existed since 8,000 BC, about 10,000 years ago.
It comprises of five huge domes with cocunut cielings resembling shells. Each of these domes
 has different calcium formations and marble there exist in
differing temperatures and water levels. These caves are famous for its breathtaking gallery
 of stalagmites, stalactites and other amazing rock formations
that are superb speleological wonders, found only in this part of the world.

There are various tours into the caves being the main attraction here. These caves are
located under the limestone hills and form tunnels that runs from
east to west, nearly 1.9km in length. Visitors can experience these tours with specific
requirements of prior preparation. Certain tours such as the River
Adventure Tours require visitors to bring a change of clothes and shoes. Torch lights
and safety helmets are available for rent.
