I’ve been a regular camper (thrice) at this place enshrouded in the depths of Temerloh. 25 caves, all “conveniently” congregated at a single area, making this one of the best places for cave exploration in West Malaysia. None of the commercial hoopla that caves in Perak provide. This is secluded. It was back in 1993 during my school camping trip that I learned about these caves. Am thinking of a “homecoming” trip in March 2007. Wanna join?
Gunung Senyum is on the left and Gunung Jebak Puyuh is on the right
Check out the number of caves to explore. I only covered approx 18 caves.

Can’t remember what cave this was…
Looks like a painting, doesn’t it?
In awe of the view
Surrealism
Batman?

| Located 40km from Temerloh, and 20km from Pusat Jengka. |
| By Road : From the main Kuantan to Kuala Lumpur road [via LPT] in the Temerloh area, there are 2 or 3 turn offs all signposted to Hutan Lipur (Recreational Forest) Gunung Senyum. One is by the east end of the bridge at Temerloh, one at Kampung Awah. Follow the signs. 40km, from Bandar Pusat Jengka. |
| By Water :Visitors who love challenging activities would want to endure the 'crossing over' Sungai Pahang, that drastically streams down to Gunung Senyum. Sungai Pahang is promising a memorable experience for everyone. | | |
