A short drive from Fairy Cave is the Sarawak Wind Cave. It stands on the banks of River Sarawak and strikes visitors with stalactites and stalagmites formed over the centuries. Both of these caves are very different from one another and can be covered in a half-day trip. Wind Cave has three unlit tunnels and the interior is pitch dark. Unlike Fairy Cave, the car can be parked right at the entrance of the Wind Cave. 

Perak Cave is a Buddhist religious place situated in Ipoh, Perak at the foothills of Gunung Tasek.
