A selection of cave fauna

All the fauna found in caves is dependant on bats. Bats are the only animals which go out of the cave to feed, and it is their guano or droppings which support the entire food chain in the cave, from the tiniest bug right up to the snake. For more information see Caves of Malaysia .

Lenggong, caves, waterfalls & Batu Kurau trip

On this trip, Jan, Aric and I stayed in Lenggong town, and checked out some of the archaeological caves.

The Perak river near Bukit Jawa, Lenggong

We then went onto a deer farm near Lenggong, and then to Lata Puteh falls. We managed to climb almost to the top of the falls.

After we washed off in the Lata Tebing Tinggi falls.

On the way back we stopped at Batu Kurau and Jan had his hair cut in a cliffside barber shop.

We also visited the Bat Cave.
