BATU MALOI
Batu Maloi Cave is often quoted in tourist leaflets as being a cave as long as 3km. It is situated in the Kampung Tanggai Forest Reserve in the Johol district, 35 km from Kuala Pilah in Negeri Sembilan.
It is actually a series of huge granite boulders in the river bed and there is enough space inbetween the boulders to form a "cave". It is an interesting place and the river is very scenic. Strings and painted marks show the way through the cave, but care should be taken in wet weather in case of flooding.

GOLD MINE NEAR GEMAS
There is an old gold mine near Gemas in Negeri Sembilan. It is a series of tunnels where gold was dug by the British in pre World War 2 days. Today the tunnels are home to hundreds of bats and the tunnels have water inside, but can still be visited.
