Continuing from Viewing tower at Lenggong archaeological gallery...
In the afternoon we went to another part of Lenggong to visit some caves located at a hill.
The hill called Bukit Kepala Gajah, literally elephant head hill rises up to about 200 metres high from sea level.
We visited two caves lying at ground level. Look at the articles Gua (Cave of) Teluk Kelawar, Lenggong and Gua (Cave of) Kajang, Lenggong in the blogspot SENI LAMA MELAYU (MALAY OLDEN ART).
But those caves lie at parts outside the frame of views which could be shown here. We next went to this part because we were told there is a more significant cave around.
The cave is called Gua (cave of) Gunung Runtuh. It was the place where the famous ancient human skeleton known as Perak Man was found. Refer to the article Galeri Arkeologi Lembah Lenggong (Lenggong Valley Archaeological Gallery)
But it lies close to the summit. It is situated at about 150 metres above sea level.
It would need some jungle trekking and hill climbing to be reached. Not that it is impossible. It's just we were too tired and short of time.
So what we did was fly a drone with camera to catch the views. Enough that we could have a remote view of the cave and/or its surroundings...
