This cave is located at the main road from Kuantan to Sungai Lembing (C4). Refer to my photo attached here on the signboard at the Y-Junction Jln. Gua Charas.
Turn right go thru a Mosque and some oil palm plantation then you will reach this Cave, refer to beow photo for the cave.
Bukit Charas (Charas Cave) is believe a 400 million years old limestone and granite massif up to at least 355 metres high.
Suggestion reaching time is in the morning around 10am at the car park. You will have to pay RM2 to enter the cave. Its take us about 30 - 45 mins to climb up the stairs case then enter into the cave. We have small kids along and takes a longer time to walk. The reason of reaching at this time, you will have a chance to view the Sun shine from a small hole from top of the Cave shine directly on the Sleeping Buddha (Time is around 11am - 12pm), refer to my photo.
The surrounding have bats on top, some water dripping around and it is still very natural and unexplore by the tourist compare to the Gua Tempurung at Ipoh (May refer to my another Blog)
Besides, you can also hike up to the peek of another "porthole" for a higher view of the surrounding (the junction is before you go down the cave).Refer to the photo shown below.
Have an different experience at this Limestones cave before you go to Sungai Lembing.
