Gunung Jebak Puyuh - The Pearl Amongst a Sea of Palm Oil
By Hymeir K.
I spent three days at the Gunung Senyum Recreational Forest, in Jengka recently. This is just about the geographical center of Peninsular Malaysia. Jutting dramatically out of the rolling plains of Central Pahang, Gunung Senyum and Gunung Jebak Puyuh are hard to miss. The jewel of this place is without doubt the caves of Gunung Senyum and Gunung Jebak Puyuh.
They are spectacular hills with equally spectacular caves with high ceilings and large chambers. Some with skylights allowing the sun's rays into the normally dark recesses of the caves.
The hidden jewel however has to be Gunung Senyum's lesser known neighbor, Gunung Jebak Puyuh. It's a hidden gem as it takes a little more effort to visit and the little more effort is more than rewarded by the equally spectacular caves even if they are not as large as those of Senyum. The caves of Jebak Puyuh are less visited thus are more pristine. They are smaller but packed with fine exquisite formations and mysterious hidden gardens. ----more----
