Gua Kandu is a cave system situated in the region of Gopeng in the Kinta Valley. Hidden in a karst outcrop next to the North South Expressway, about half an hour from Gua Tempurung, the cave was used by the Japanese during the Second World War. Then, the Communist guerrillas were taken over as their hiding place after the Emergency. Gua Kandu is now available to casual adventurers. The ceiling of the cave is about 11 meters (35 ft) from the floor. You can encounter stalagites dangling down, almost like bits of a ceiling board.
