Here's my experience on 6th Mile Tunnel

We went with a group from college. More than 15 people plus with guide, with experienced and first timers.

The entrance is beside the new houses, walking distance from Sunway Tambun's themepark. We first have to walk through the grasses along the stream until we reached a small pond the size of one and a half basketball court approximately. Then we saw a cave opening in the side of the mountain, half submerged in water.

To get into the cave, we'll have to swim across the pond, thread on the mud which really sinks when stepped, on while holding a safety rope from 2 ends. Those who can't swim can just pull the rope to the other end till u reach the cave opening.

In the 6th mile tunnel, the beginning was quite sandy. As you walk deeper, you'll be walking on alot of rocks, big rocks, small rocks and loose rocks. I strongly recommend not to wear open toe shoes, as the last time i wore sandals and got a few rock cuts. Above your head, some times you will bump into alot of stalactites if you are not careful and quite tall. Most of the journey you can walk through upright and its not so cramped.

What u can see is alot of shiny crystal formation, stalactites and stalagmites, some WW2 relic if u know how to identify, bats with guano smell(bats will fly past you).

At the end of the cave, which is the "hilir sungai", there is a stream, the water is quite clean, can wash up but nothing spectacular.

I'm not sure about the time, but its around 1-2 hours walk. The cave is very wet, dont hope to stay dry.

If you want to continue to the next level of caving, walk through the trail which will lead you to another cave which i dont know the name. That one is another level, claustrophobic inducing marble cave, in and out the same way.

Want pictures? google 6th mile tunnel
