Gunung Reng if you are driving on the East West Highway in Jeli district in western Kelantan. It is a spectacular limestone outcrop located close to the highway between the towns of Jeli and Belimbang.
Just before the mosque in the photo there was a rough road leading to the recreational park at the foot of the hill.The recreational park contains a dilapidated children's playground, a shop and food stall, surau, toilets etc.

2. Gua Kelam Recreational Park, PERLIS

Gua Kelam translates as Dark Cave but I shall use the Bahasa name to avoid confusion with another Dark Cave at Batu Caves.The caves are located at the top end of Perlis which is about as far north as you can drive in Malaysia, a few kilometers from the Thai border.

3. BATU CAVES, SELANGOR

(retrieved from Mr Google)

The magnificent Batu Caves are one of the top tourist attractions in Malaysia, partly because they are located only 13km from downtown Kuala Lumpur and easy to get to.There are 3 main attractions at Batu Caves which is a limestone hill riddled with caves. The main Cave is known as the Temple Cave and is accessed by a steep flight of 272 steps. The steps are thronged with troupes of greedy macaques who will harass you for food if you are carrying any (better not to feed them).

4. Gua Tempurung IPOH

(retrieved from Mr Google)

Gua Tempurung, located 25km south of Ipoh near Gopeng, is probably the largest cave in Peninsula Malaysia and has plenty to attract the serious caving enthusiast, the adventure seeker or just the casual visitor. A lot of work went into creating this massive cave. First of all this entire area, known as the Kinta Valley, needed to be covered by sea.

5. PERAK TONG CAVE TEMPLE

(retrieved from Mr Google)

There are more than 30 cave temples in and around Ipoh and Perak Tong is one of the most famous and frequently visited.After climbing the steps and passing through the narrow entrance passage, the limestone cave opens up into a giant space with a high dome and branching off into hidden recesses and grottoes. A golden sitting Buddha statue, 40 feet tall, dominates the temple. He is secured by four guardian deities which I have seen described as 'goddesses' but since a couple of them have beards I doubt that they are female.

6. Gunung Senyum Caves, PAHANG


(retrieved from Mr Google)

Gunung Senyum Caves are located in Pahang about 45 minutes drive from Temerloh.
Gunung Senyum, which means Smiling Mountain, is a limestone outcrop which rises sharply 478m above the surrounding oil palm-dominated countryside.The mountain is riddled with caves, some of which are visible as soon as you pull up in the car park of Gunung Senyum Recreational Forest. Next to the car park is a traditional Pahang house dating from 1907, a park management office, a food stall, campsite, toilets and surau. There is also a lake, partly spanned by a suspension bridge.

7. Fairy Cave, Bau, Sarawak

Fairy Cave (also known as Gua Pari) is an impressive show cave near the former gold mining settlement of Bau and about 40km from Kuching, Sarawak.It is just a few minutes drive from another show cave, Wind Cave, and most tourists would combine both on a half-day trip from Kuching.Access to the cave is via a four storey concrete staircase which brings you to the cave entrance.
