Cave Exploration
We hiked up to Panching (Charas) limestone cave and did not have enough of it yet, and continued to follow the trail up to the highest cave above us. From far, we really couldn’t see what lied ahead of us and we had to be mindful with every step as they are uneven and slippery…

Malaysia has many caves scattered around the country and is a haven for cave explorers.

A lady selling fresh fishes, prawns, squids, etc. A fish stall…
