#malaysiatrip Well maintained bat cave with thousands of bats and other birds. The site was quiet with not a lot of tourists. The paths inside the cave are safe but completely dark. Remember to bring a flashlight or rent one for RM 3 at the ticket office. The best part was listening to the sound of all the bats (harmless) around you. Spent one hour in total. Took a taxi from Bau Market to here. However, going back was more troublesome. May have to walk a while until a taxi is available.
