Details of the destinations and activities were given to the members. BD Caving and camping in Gua Tempurong Jungle tracking in Taman Negara Water activities in Pulau Redang Conclusion Members’ choice caving at Gua Tempurong Caving and camping at Gua Tempurung, Gopeng, Perak This is one of the most popular limestone caves in the country. There are fascinating rock formations of stalactites, stalagmites and pillars, some of which are thousands of years old. Nearby, there are caves to be explored. One of these requires sliding one way through the cave through narrow pathways and emerging into forest areas. Gua Angin has a breezy wind tunnel. Other activities include white- water rafting, abseiling, rock climbing and flying fox. 25 members are in favour of this place. Jungle trekking in Taman Negara The national park has green valleys and scenic rivers that are suitable for jungle trekking, The park has attractions like animal observations, salt licks, canopy walk, angling, enjoying rare flora and fauna and other outdoor activities. The accommodation here is chalets at reasonable prices with meals included. Nine members voted on this. Water activities in Pulau Redang This island offers activities on beach and water activities like canoeing and boating. The resorts offer chalet-type accommodation with higher charges than the other two. The remaining six members voted in favour of this place Reasons for members’ choice - caving at Gua | Tempurung Caving at Gua Tempurung is the popular choice because the idea of camping out for the whole trip is appealing and a welcome change. Those with no experience of such trips are game for it - nothing ventured nothing gained. Cost- wise - cheaper as campsite is free of charge. Those who chose Taman Negara and Pulau Redang did so because they have not been there before So, the outcome of the meeting is a camping trip at Gua Tempurung, Thank you.
