Hye dear readers, believe it or not, i'm currently at the Gunung Mulu, Sarawak. Told yaa! 

The World's Largest Underground Chamber, home to one of the longest networks of caves in the world, capable of accommodating forty Boeing 747 airplanes and the largest National Park (544 sq km).

Yeay !!!!!!

When looking at Mulu’s spectacular scenery and its biological significance, it was not surprising that Mulu was successfully listed as a World Heritage site in November 2000.  In Mulu, you will find one of the worlds biggest cave passage, Deer Cave, which can fit five cathedrals the size of Saint Pauls in London. 

Another key attraction is Clear Water Cave, which is the longest cave in Southeast Asia.





The massive caves here are home to millions of bats and cave swiftlets that swarm out into the jungle in great clouds every evening at dusk!

Situated 100 km from the coast, the park is dominated by three mountains; 

Gunung Mulu (2,376m), Gunung Api (1,750m), and the as yet unconquered Gunung Benarat (1,585m).

Gunung Mulu is sandstone, whilst Gunung Api and Gunung Benarat are formed from limestone and therefore have different geographical features. 

The summit of Gunung Mulu is covered by moss forests and stunted montane vegetation, whilst razor-sharp limestone pinnacles, some as high as 50 metres, are found on the upper slopes of Gunung Api. 

The park's forest ecosystems include peatswamp, heath, mixed dipterocarp, moss forest and montane vegetation; home to thousands of species of ferns, fungi, mosses and flowering plants, including 170 species of orchid and 10 species of pitcher plants, an impressive variety of mammals, birds (including 8 species of hornbill), frogs, fish and insects. 

Mulu's wildlife is often heard but not seen, but visitors are almost certain to encounter bats, swiftlets, cave dwelling insects, snakes, lizards, tree frogs and an abundance of beautiful butterflies.

Visitors may not enter any of the caves or the Mulu Canopy Skywalk without a Park Guide. For most trails, including the Mulu Summit climb, the Pinnacles trail and the Headhunter's trail, a Park Guide is also mandatory.

Bookings and payment of fees can be made at the park office. 

* If you require a Park Guide you need to book the day before. During peak season, guides for popular activities such as the Pinnacles trail may be fully booked weeks in advance

So, when coming here. just remember to :

Visit the four main caves - Deer, Lang, Clearwater and Wind

 &

Walk along the 480m Mulu Canopy Skywalk and

Go on one of the many exciting nature trails here, which is the Pinnacles Trail, Headhunter’s Trail, and Gunung Mulu Summit Trek.
