Cruise up the Melinau river in a longboat and visit a Penan longhouse & market at Batu Bungan. 2nd stop at Cave of the Winds where you have to negotiate a long ramp and a few stairs. 3rd stop Clearwater where the subterranean river emerges from the cliff face. Take 200 stairs to enter the cave to marvel at the Monophilia Pendula endemic to Mulu. Clearwater is one of the biggest cave systems in the world, measuring over 220km in length. Swimming inside the cave is not permitted, however a cool down in the natural crystal-clear waters at the picnic deck is a must. Float with the fish and enjoy the rainforest around you. #tripblazers #awesomepic #caves

#myhiddengems Coming to Mulu National Park is something every nature loving tourist owes themselves to visit. The Clearwater Cave and Cave of the Winds were just breathtakingly stunning, and totally worth the small fee to pay for a guide to take a group on a tour there. Great caves to visit( visited on 22nd Mar 24 Morning 8:45 am tour) and a dip in the clear river thereafter gives a refreshing experience.<,🏖️Ambiance/Facilities:

#myhiddengems Outstanding! The rainforest was beautiful. We didn’t see too much big wildlife but it didn’t matter too much as the small wildlife was weird and totally wonderful. We saw so many interesting insects and even some snakes. Visited the World Heritage site in the end of the year which happened to be the Monsoon season and low tourist attendance. In a way you got the whole jungle for yourself. Got to experience a wet tropical rain forest. The nature reserve park is beautiful and majestic.

#malaysiatrip Amazing to see a river inside a cave! How Mother Nature forms this cave is unbelievable! How many years were there to form such system! Simply amazing and a must visit once in a lifetime! The picnic area outside the cave is outstanding too, especially the area where you can take a swim! Interesting question, where does the river stars? According to my guide they are not sure where it starts but it can be linked to a river from camp5?

Trip to Mulu is truly amazing~ truly unwind and relaxing... this is what I called "Forest Bath"

great experience for seeing largest cave in Sarawak Malaysia

Getting There - Fly from Kuching or Kota Kinabalu Attractions - Amazing caves, canopy walk, bat exodus Hotels - National Park HQ accommodations Food & Restaurants - Camp Cafe Shopping - small shop with basics and snacks

A 3km almost flat walk on raised plank walks takes you to the Bat observatory (45 minutes to 1 hour). Walk another 500m to reach one of the world’s largest cave passages, home to more than 3 million Wrinkle Lipped bats. A large number of swiftlets also roost in Deer Cave where the high cave ceilings (more than 100m in some places) provide a safe haven against predators. Enjoy the sheer size of this limestone passage, an ancient riverbed, and see the force of water carving the scalloped walls. Once you reach the green oasis of Garden of Eden you have walked 800m inside Deer Cave. Enjoy the unique shower head formations of Adam and Eve’s showers spouting columns of water 30m to the riverbed below. Returning almost the same way, but with views from different angles, you will visit Lang Cave with wonderful limestone shawls, stalagmites and stalactites. Bats are easier to see in this smaller cave and you will be very close to the shimmering webs of thread worm larvae, another miniscule wonder of Mulu caves. The tour is timed to coincide with the bat exodus which could start any time from after 17:00. To walk to Deer cave to witness the Bat exodus is a FREE excursion, BUT you cannot enter Deer or Lang cave without payment beforehand and a guide (as is the normal procedure). Expect to be back at HQ by 18:30 to 19:00, should the bats fly. #tripblazers #awesomepic #caves
