Taman Negara 2 - Ear Cave Exploration

Whispers: A friend just came back from Vietnam... It has been ages since I saw him... having a gathering with him and a few other friends tonight.

..........................................................


How we looks like while we were hiking to Ear Cave...

What to wear: T-shirt, cargo pant or shorts, sport shoe or crocs-type slipper, small compact camera
Remember: Mosquito repellent, salt water in bottle

The Ear Cave exploration started out as a typical cave exlporation but after a while in it, you would actually find out that it is not that typical actually.

The reason it is called Ear Cave is mainly due to the characteristic of the cave that started out with a big entrance and progessively become smaller and smaller. It is not that adventurous as it is only 80 metres long but the limited space in it actually make it enjoyable (at least for those who like caving, like me :P).

The best thing about this cave is how near you can get to a bats... my previous "close-encounter" is about 10 metres away but this time, I was about 2 to 3 metres away from a flock of them. It is really a great experience. Be ready to get your on their s*** as it was everywhere...

Some pictures taken during the cave exploration:

The entrance...

The bats hanging on the wall in the cave... it was really near and I was having goosebumps thinking of it...

Some of the gang in front of the cave entrance...

Part of the cave that we need to go through... see how small it is...
