Gua Tempurung which is about an hour's drive from Ipoh is a great place to visit.
There are a number of options: a 45 minute self-guided tour of the cave, a 2 hour guided tour or a 4 hour guided tour. You need to buy a ticket at the park entrance.
I took my daughter and her cousin for the simple self-guided tour, as we had limited time and practically no equipment ...except our own two feet. Apart from the physical activity, the girls also enjoyed it as an educational experience.
Those who want to go for the full 4 hour tour shall have to bring a torch-light, good pair of non-slip sports shoes and a bottle of water.
Also, do arrive earlier if you want to spend a longer time here because the tours take off at specific times, eg. 9 am and 2pm-although I am not sure if the times have changed.
I found that some parts of the cave were very dark and not well lit. A moderate level of fitness is required as there are steps going up and down throughout the cave.

The par-72 18-holes course plays to a long 6,376m from the blue tees... The First Nine is 3,172m with the Second Nine at 3,204m... The course is flat with cow grass fairway and is very well maintained... The course has been converted to a buggy course and caddies are also avialable... There is minimal water in play except for some drains that cut across the fairways... It is a comparatively long course with matured shady trees along the fairways... Most of the greens are elevated...
The new clubhouse complex was ready for operation and opened officially in August 2009... The complex is impressive by any standard... Besides the up-class man and lady changing rooms, there is also the pro-shop... The golfer's terrace serves Chinese food and seafood... Beside it is the Japanese restaurant...
The club accepts walk-ins now with the green fees at RM180 (weekdays) and RM250 (weekends)... Member's guests pay RM120 (weekdays) and RM180 (weekends) and they must play with the member... This is a buggy course and only members may use the trolley...

City dwellers longing for a quick getaway of adrenalin rush? Fret not..Head down to Ipoh, Perak (a state in Malaysia which is about 2 hours' drive away from the capital Kuala Lumpur). Here, you can have some adrenalin pumping fun rafting the whitewater rapids (Grade 3 and Grade 5 in May-June)
The adventure starts from Sungai Itik, where rapids called Double Decker and also Singapore junction awaits. Exhilarating indeed! Raft through the river to sungai Jahang where if water conditions are good, proceed and end at sungai kampar (total 10km). If water conditions are not good, i.e. to shallow, then won't proceed to sungai kampar and the journey will be 8km in total.
By the way, for non speakers of the Malay language, sungai means RIVER.
River booties are recommended. If not covered shoes with non-slip soles works too. The life jacket, paddles and helmets will be provided by the adventure service provider you engage. There are 3 :- Uhuru, Riverbug and aww... I forgot the other one. Do a search in google, "Whitewater rafting in Ipoh" to find out contact details of some of the adventure cos.
