Gua Kandu

Gua Kandu is a small limestone outcrop near Kampung Jahang, 

Gopeng, and can be spotted easily from the North South Expressway. 
It is the 8 th largest cave in Peninsular Malaysia at 1100m long. 
Gua Kandu is a multi leveled and multi chambered cave with many unique
formations within it. It is believed that a river used to run through the cave, 
but it has since dried up and is now a dry cave.

During the Malayan Emergency, Gua Kandu was used as a hideout by 
Chinese Communists.







There are various evidence of it, in the form of cave 
carvings and drawings of communist slogans and symbols. Later, the 
Japanese army occupied Gua Kandu for some time during the occupation 
and it is said that the front of the cave was used as a storage bunker for a 
variety of things such as trucks, airplanes, supplies, and troops.


Kandu Cave is best explored by night. Located about a half and hours' jeep ride from Tempurung Cave, the Kandu Cave exploration begins with a short jungle trek up a steep hill to the elevated mouth of the cave.
