Malaysia Cave Exploration 马来西亚洞穴探险
Malaysia Cave Exploration 马来西亚洞穴探险
Malaysia is
blessed with a vast numbers of caves, including some of the largest and longest
in the world. These caves are nestled within rich rainforests and mangroves,
providing sanctuary to amazing wildlife.
Most caves in Malaysia are equipped with marked paths and platforms, however some are only accessible by boat or require visitors to rough it out and crawl on all fours. There was and is life revolving around caves in Malaysia; some are famous archeological sites where artifacts date back 40,000 years, while others contain ancient rock paintings, which are still visible to this day.
Several Malaysian caves support a bird’s nest industry where collectors precariously climb up to the ceiling of the caves using bamboo ladders. These nests are made of bird saliva and fetch a high price for their medicinal properties. The Batu Caves, in Selangor, contain Hindu temples, which still attract droves of worshippers from all over the country. There are also remnants of human burial sites found in some Sabahan caves. Malaysian caves are also home to amazing wildlife such as fruitbats, swiftlets, and invertebrates as well as having other natural attractions like massive stalagmites and stalactites.
Although major expeditions have been carried out, many caves have yet to be fully explored, luring explorers who are up for an adventure. There are guides available at all major Malaysian caves. Seasoned cavers are normally appointed as guides. They may be contacted through the Malaysian Nature Society or other adventure clubs. Most caving expeditions are day trips but visitors can opt for an overnight stay.
No overnight camping is allowed within most caves but rooms are usually available in the vicinity of most caves. Caving is normally conducted during the dry season, between March and October, but always be prepared for rain. Permits are required when exploring some caves. These are available from the respective state forestry departments. Just like any other nature adventures, conservation of stalagmites, stalactites and all cave wildlife are crucial.
Flash photography is prohibited as the light might scare away life forms in the cave. Be aware that there is always the possibility of encountering dangerous creatures such as snakes and scorpions If you are interested in caving, Malaysia offers a wide range of caves to suit any comfort level. To explore the wonders of nature and its mysterious past, the time is now, the place is Malaysia.

Always take a reliable guide, who can be hired from National Parks or
caving clubs. Many of Malaysia’s caves are unmapped and no one should explore
a cave on their own. Groups of four would be ideal. Although some operators
offer cave diving, it is a highly specialised sport and should only be
undertaken by experienced divers and cavers. Always check equipment before
venturing into a cave, especially if you’re planning to do abseiling. Limit
your time in a cave to a maximum of eight hours.
Plan on how much lighting you
will need. One kilogram of carbide will give enough illumination for
approximately six to eight hours. Cavers should always carry back-up torches
and extra batteries. People with a weak heart condition and those suffering
from claustrophobia should limit themselves to show caves. Cavers should be
free from allergies related to limestone and bat guano.
马来西亚拥有数量众多的洞穴，其中包括世界上最大、最长的一些洞穴。 这些洞穴隐匿于茂密的雨林和红树林之中，为奇特的野生动植物提供庇护所。
马来西亚的大部分洞穴内都有带标记的通道和平台。 然而，一些洞穴只能乘船进入，或需要游客攀爬和俯身爬行。 部分洞穴是著名的考古地点，其中有四万年以前的史前古器物，另一些洞穴则有古代岩画，这些岩画时至今日仍然可见。 雪兰莪的黑风洞有印度寺庙，现在仍吸引全国各地的敬拜者前来敬拜。 在沙巴州的一些洞穴中还发现了人类坟冢的遗迹。
一些马来西亚的洞穴支撑着燕窝产业，采集者用竹梯摇摇晃晃地爬上洞穴顶采集燕窝。 这些燕窝是由鸟的唾液制成，因其医药特性能卖上很高价钱。 马来西亚的洞穴也是果蝠、金丝燕、无脊椎动物的巢穴，里面还有其他自然景观，如大量的石笋和钟乳石等。 与进行其他自然探险一样，务必要保护石笋、钟乳石以及所有洞穴野生动物。
虽然探险者已在许多洞穴进行过大型探险，但这些洞穴还尚未完全探索到，仍吸引探索者前来探险。 大多数洞穴探险是一日游，但游客也可以选择过夜。 虽然不允许游客在大部分洞穴中露营过夜，但通常可以在大部分洞穴附近的地方露营。 探索某些洞穴时需要许可证。 许可证由各州林业部门提供。
禁止用闪光灯拍照，光线可能会吓跑洞穴中的生物。 请注意，您随时有可能遇到危险的生物，如蛇和蝎子，因此最好随时保持警惕。
重点提示 :
~ 洞穴探险通常在 3 月至 10 月的旱季进行，但也要做好防雨准备。
~ 选择老练可靠的探洞向导，可从任何国家公园、探险/洞穴俱乐部中雇用向导，或经马来西亚自然协会 (Malaysian Nature Society) 联系向导。
~ 许多马来西亚洞穴未在地图中标明，不允许独自探访这些洞穴。 最好四人一组进行探访。
~ 一些经营者会提供洞穴潜水，但洞穴潜水是一项高度专业化的运动，只适合有经验的潜水者和洞穴探险者进行。
~ 在进行洞穴探险时需检查装备，尤其是您计划做游绳下降的时候更要如此。
~ 将您在洞穴的最长时间限定在八小时。 计算好您所需的照明量。 一千克的碳化物可提供约六到八小时的充足照明。
~ 探洞者应随时携带备用电筒和电池。
~ 心脏功能不佳和患有幽闭恐怖症的人应克制自己进行洞穴探险活动。
~ 探洞者需对石灰石和蝙蝠粪无过敏现象。
