The Malaysia-Swiss Caving Expedition 2025 is a collaborative effort between caving and spelunking enthusiasts from Malaysia, Switzerland, Japan , Germany and Vietnam focusing on exploring and researching caves in Langkawi, Perlis, Baling, and Merapoh, Malaysia.
Caving expeditions typically involve mapping, documenting, and studying cave systems by geologists, biologists, and cave divers. This particular expedition aims to uncover undiscovered caves or further study known ones, contributing to the global understanding of subterranean environments.
