Gua Anak Tempurung is a cave located in the eastern face of Gunung Tempurung. It is smaller than the famous Gua Tempurung, being less than 1km in length. To get there, we will pass through into a dirt track just after Sungai Siput Selatan and drove to the eastern face of Gunung Tempurung.
Despite its size of a mere length of 1km, no one can argue that this pristine cave offers beauty and charm. Gua Anak Tempurung, is a river cave with several entrance and has various levels of passages. Carved through time by water, you will be able to see glistening white marbles along the passages. Majestic formations and sparkling calcite crystals can be seen along the single river passage. Inside the cave, you'll be fascinated with interesting rock formations, stalagmites, stalactites and even patterns on the wall as you go from one chamber to another, while guided by the rangers. The caving activity will take about 1 hour to 2 hour to complete, depending on the number of participants joined.
The stream in the cave is still quite clean despite the earthworks outside and a few species of fish live in these dark waters, including a white catfish. They are quite shy and could not be caught by hand for a closer look. The stream has cut the cave along the eastern face of the hill and it emerges again a few hundred meters south of the entrance, with a larger opening. The stream continues its flow along the side of the hill and its waters may eventually merge with the stream in Gua Tempurung which is still further south.
