Description
Bat Cave (known as Gua Kelawar in Malay) is located on the Kilim river and close to the Kilim Jetty, but on the opposite side of the river. You will need to take a boat to reach the cave. The cave is part of the Kilim Geopark and also shown as part of the Kilim Geopark Tour.
After you get off the boat, there is an wooden footbridge that goes through mangrove swamps and right into the Bat Cave. The cave is so named because of the large population of Malaysian Fruit Bats that reside here. The guide or the boatman will give you a flashlight before you enter the cave. It is quite dark and creepy inside.
As you enter the section of the cave with high ceiling (some 10 meters head clearance), you will get a feel that there are lot many living creatures inside. You won't see them until you point the flashlight towards the ceiling and will be awestruck seeing so many black bats hanging from there and looking at you.
