Merapoh in Kuala Lipis is an interesting district surrounded by large karst rock formations which just pop up all around this valley and thus making it well-known in Malaysia for its impressive caves…. I think there are about 500 caves in the area surrounding Merapoh, but only 12 are safe for tourism and public…..
The small Pahang town of Merapoh, popularly known as the entry point for Taman Negara Sungai Relau, is also surrounded by iconic caves that make Merapoh a ‘caving paradise’ for adventurers. During our Gunung Tahan via Merapoh trip, our licensed nature guide, Abang Sabri, introduced us to Merapoh caving activities and stoked our interest. A few weeks later, we signed up with Abang Sabri to take us to the exciting caving adventures!
