Chillout, Soulout & Freakout at Batu Maloi Cave

Gang Pointer 4.0 ✌

My legs and arms were shaking. Sweat was tripping down my face.  Every step and crawl felt like thousands of needles are sinking into my legs, but above all that, nothing worth experiencing comes easy. 
It was project week for my classmates and I from the Malaysian Maritime Academy, and we happened  to experience our first ever caving adventure at Gua Batu Maloi which is located at a small town called Johol, Negeri Sembilan.  

Our Multiracial Team ❤

Our adventure at Gua Batu Maloi begun way before we actually reached the cave system. We were required to first trek to the cave. Thought the trail seemed tough, we were very assured that we would be rewarded along the way by the startlingly beautiful foliage, the captivating greenery of the rich rainforest that holds the cave in its embrace. And this magnificent surrounding kept all of us going. 
This cave formed beneath masses of large rocks, with a clear shallow stream lazily making its way around the stoned and boulders that make up the cave floor. The challenges that we had to face consisted of crawling, sliding, climbing and also creeping out of tiny rocks. The narrow and winding passage into the cave can prove to be quite perilous, especially in pitch darkness. 

Essential Selfie Sessions 📸

As explained by our caving guide, this cave was a very interesting granite cave formation. The river actually makes this formation from million of years of water flow. You can imagine a dark cave with tiny insects around, and chilling water running above your body while you submerge yourself underwater. 

What made the activity really fun? The fact that we had to squeeze and cram ourselves through small gaps and holes. Looking at the size of the holes that we passed through after struggles, mainly taught us not to underestimate ourselves and to just keep going. Also, we made sure we guarded and had each other’s back because to make sure everyone was safe and sound. 

Risks aside, the 3 hours Batu Maloi Cave exploration trip offered us a challenging and memorable experience for those who dare to enter.
