Most caving expeditions can be day trips although a visitor can choose to stay overnight. No overnight camping is allowed within most caves but room accommodation is usually available around most cave districts.
Caving is normally done in the relatively dry season from March to October, but be prepared for rain any time. Tropical caves are not as damp as those in Europe and the Americas but they are chilly at times especially during storms and heavy rain.
Permits may be required when exploring some caves. These are available from the respective state forestry departments and cost from RM 10 to RM40.

Caving or spelunking enjoys a good following in Malaysia. The country is endowed with vast numbers of limestone caves, including a World Heritage Site. They are home to amazing wildlife such as fruit bats, birds with edible nests or attractive stalagmites and stalactites.
Many are surrounded in mystery and legends. Archeological research has found evidence of early man in many of these cave sites.
Although major expeditions have been carried, many caves are still not fully explored and remain an alluring adventure for the nature explorer. Repeat visitors marvel at how a cave can change within months as the naturally wet Malaysian weather promotes faster stalagmite and stalactite formation.
Caves come in various levels of accessibility. Some caves even have walkways to ease your touring, while others require visitors to rough it out and crawl on all fours.
