The caves of Gunung Senyum

Continued from Pahang river at Jerantut Ferry.

Next, we went to the recreational forest of Gunung Senyum, situated if I'm not mistaken in the district of Temerloh.

Gunung means mountain and Senyum is smile. I'm not sure if the facade of the so-called mountain looks like a smile. Perhaps it does but more of a spooky smile... :]

That's the wife carrying our then 40 days or so old baby closer to the 'mountain'.  As it is I don't think Gunung Senyum is high enough to be a real mountain, just a limestone hill...

In front of it lies what looks like a field. Don't be fooled. It is actually a lake covered by growth.

There's a pathway leading to another hill which like Gunung Senyum also has caves.

But we haven't got much time to explore every place.

So headed straight for Gunung Senyum and climbed its staircases...

Here's the entrance to one of its cave system...

There exists a Muslim tomb inside...

There are a number of caves to explore.

But we still have another place to rush to. So enough cave exploration for the day...

p/s: I did a double check later using Google Earth and found out the summit of Gunung Senyum stands at over 1,400 feet above sea level. I guess that does qualify it to be called mountain albeit a small one, not just a hill...
