JOURNEY BEGINS (GUA KELAM)

  Let's start our journey, everything began when we drive for almost an hour and a half, we have prepared everything from the recording equipment to snacks and drinks we'd need for the long day. As everything set up, we have arrived at Perlis Indera Kayangan. Our roadtrip are filled with beautiful greenery landscapes of paddy field. After couple of minutes of driving, we have finally arrived at Gua Kelam, and wow, every corner was like, BAM ! another crazy cool thing to see. It was super humid, and you could hear water dripping everywhere, totally different from the sunny fields we just zoomed through. Before entrance we had to pay RM2 each for the ticket. After that, we walked into the cave, and it was like the outside world just went on mute.  The lights were kinda dim, making these awesome shadows on the walls, showing off all the wild rock shapes.  We were stoked, like, 'What awesome stuff are we gonna find in here?'  We were ready to explore, listen to the cave's secrets, and get it all on our recorders so we could share the adventure. 

  We started walking deeper in, and it was like stepping into a whole other world.  The air felt different, cooler and damper.  The sound of the dripping water echoed, almost like a beat, and you could hear the occasional rustle of... well, we weren't sure what. Maybe bats?  We kept our voices low, and Ariff start to tell the geological history and formation about the Gua Kelam's. We walked through the cave deeper as one of our group members Adam start to present about the wonders of Gua Kelam. Next, We were snapping photos like crazy, trying to capture the feeling of being in this hidden, magical place. Later, we went outside to see another hidden gem, We look for a place for our friend Harris to explain the tourism and its impact. Next, it's Hazieq's turn to explain challenges and opportunities that this place faced for many years.Last but not least, we went back inside and stay on our track to exit the cave into the main entrance. And that's the story of our Gua Kelam's adventure, onto the next destination !
