Located at the northern-most edge
of Peninsula Malaysia, the state of Perlis is easily accessible via the
North-South Highway, which links Kangar, the state capital of Perlis, to Kuala
Lumpur. Perlis State Park is located about 42km from Kangar town and around
10km from the Malaysia-Thai border of Wang Kelian.
Wang Burma Cave is one of the most
popular caves within the Perlis State Park. It is a haven for spelunking. The
cave’s stalactites and stalagmites resemble pillars, curtains and cascades
which were formed over millions of years. Enthusiasts can explore the cave at a
leisurely pace, or climb, crawl and squeeze between narrow passages and muddy
tunnels.
Some caves such as Gua Kelam, are known
for its subterranean rivers, which have been the site of tin-mining activities.
International speleologists have visited Malaysia to document the cave’s
history and fauna.
The journey starts with an uphill
jungle-trekking guided by an experienced Forest Ranger. Along the route,
tourists will learn about various medicinal and poisonous plants and trees. The
journey will take approximately 40 minutes to reach the entrance of the cave.
Well-known for its streams and exotic species of insects and fungi, the cave
system is divided into two main caves: Wang Burma Satu, the less challenging
cave with a more scenic background.
It has unique rock formations
comprising of stalactites, stalagmites and columns. Wang Burma Dua is
physically and mentally challenging with its dark hooks and turns, narrow
passages and muddy tunnels – adventurer tourists will have to crawl and squeeze
their way through to reach the amazing water-worn rock formations in the inner
part of the cave.
Tourists are advised to get a
qualified guide and permission from the Perlis Forestry Department before going
for the cave exploration. The total time to explore the entire Wang Burma cave
system will take approximately 3 1/2 hours. Buddy system is advisable.
