Wind Cave, Fairy Cave & Panchor Hot Spring

Organised a one day trip to Wind Cave, Fairy Cave & Panchor Hot Spring. Departed around 9am and we finished conquering both Wind Cave & Fairy Cave around 12noon.

To bring list for three destinations:

•         Water 
•          Torch
•          Appropriate shoes (with good grip, good for walking)
•          Mosquito repellent / wear trousers
•        Wear a hat unless you think bat droppings are good for your hair.
•         Gloves are not a bad idea as the hand rails in the cave are guano encrusted.
•          Slippers (for hot spring)
•          Short pants & Tshirt (for hot spring)
•          Towel (for hot spring)
•        Cleansers/shower gel (for hot spring)

Entrance to Wind Cave / Gua Angin

The Wind Cave is believed to have got its name from the cooling breeze blowing continuously through the cave. But I  barely felt any wind blowing through the cave. 

RM1 is collected for single entry pass to  the Sarawak Nature Reserve upon entry to Wind Cave.

There are 3 passages in the Wind Cave and all three are connected so you won't be missed any of the passages. There are plankwalk runs throughout the length of the cave. The interior of the cave is unlit. Although we brought torchlight during the exploration, we hardly saw anything as it was very dark. We successfully conquered Wind Cave in less than 45 minutes!

After visiting the Wind Cave, we proceeded south to visit the Fairy Cave/Gua Kapor.

RM1 is also charged for single entry to Fairy Cave.

Unlike Wind Cave, you need to climb the stairs in order to enter the Fairy Cave,

The trios

Upon reaching the peak of the stairs, you will see entrance to the Fairy Cave. You can feel cool wind blowing continuously through the entrance of the Fairy Cave.

Inside the cave

Conquering Fairy Cave is so much exhausting and challenging than Wind Cave. It was super hot and I sweated non stop as the plankwalk and stairs were pretty slope and slippery.

 After lunch, we proceeded to our third destination --> Hot Spring at Kampung Panchor Dayak. One of entrance to Kampung Panchor is small and winding so cautious must be taken when driving.

Entrance ticket RM4/adult

Visitors dipping their legs in the hot spring.

Facilities such as changing room and toilet were provided but rather humble. The management should upgrade their changing room and provide a more decent shower facilities.

·        Note the process of taking a dip in the pool:

1.  Dip your hand or legs into the pool first to get a feel of the water temperature that it is not too hot for you. This is to prevent you from being scald by the hot water. Everyone have different reaction to the hotness of the water. The water temperature can reach  42 degree Celsius!
2.  Once you are sure that the water temperature is to your liking, slowly dip your body into the water.
3. If you get dizzy or uneasy while dipping in the pool, get out of the pool and take a rest, drink some cold water to cool your body temperature.
4. You are not allowed to take a bath immediately after getting out of the hot spring. Take a rest and let your body temperature to cool down to the normal level.
