Trip to Gua Tempurung and Kellie’s Castle, Perak

2008-08-18T10:05:00.000-07:00

Greetings,

IMAGINE… long before dinosaurs roamed Earth, the limestone hills in the Kinta Valley, Malaysia, were nothing but a balmy sea where corals and single-celled organisms thrived.

These life forms took lime from the sea to make their shells. When these creatures died, their shells made up thick masses of lime mud and all in time crystallized into limestone.

Gua Tempurung (Tempurung Cave) has existed since early 8000 B.C. and it is one of the larger cave systems found in the scenic limestone hills of Perak. In fact, it is the largest natural limestone structure in Peninsular Malaysia.

It is an impressive cave with beautiful speleotherms like stalagmites, stalactites, rim stone pools, curtains, straws, calcite crystals and pillars.

There are also majestic columns of marble inside its huge cavern honeycombed with smaller caves of different dimensions.

The cave holds mystery and intrigue that leave one curious about its deep, dark secrets dating back to 400 million years ago!!!

Details of the trip are as below:

Date: 29th & 30th AUG 2008 (Friday)
Time: 11.00pm Gather at MMU Roundabout
Price: RM 55 (Member) RM 65 (Non-member)

Our next stop is the mysterious Kellie’s Castle. It was built by a Scottish planter, William Kellie Smith some one hundred years ago.

It was never quite completed due to his untimely death. It was left incomplete and in ruins with much vandalism marring its facade and unfulfilled majesty till it was highlighted in the papers some years ago recently. The mysteries and folklore that shroud Kellie's Castle and its creators still remains. The beautiful part of an epic love story such as this, is that there isn't an answer to everything. It leaves a part for us to fantasize, a dream that never ends and an ending that is undefined....

So, don’t miss this golden opportunity to get explore and thrill yourself with wonders of the cave and solve the mystery of the ruined castle. Hurry, grab your tickets now as seats are truly limited.
