Gunung Mulu National Park
A UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site appropriately called this wondrous area a "Tropical Wonderland". Boasting the world's most extensive cave system, only 310 kilometres of passages have so far been surveyed - a mere third of what is believed to exist.
This natural wonder holds the world's largest cave chamber, the Sarawak Chamber, which can house London's St. Paul's Cathedral or forty 747s tail to tail; also part of Mulu National Park's impressive cave system is the world's largest cave passage, the Deer Cave, and Southeast Asia's longest cave, Clearwater Cave.
Above ground, three mountains break through Mulu's virgin rainforest canopy - Gunung Mulu, Gunung Api and the yet unclimbed Gunung Benarat. Home to 15 different types of forest, Mulu's biodiversity in wildlife and plants continues to fascinate people from all around the world, bringing hope in revealing an undiscovered species to nature enthusiasts.
While the 4 show caves are well-lit and easily accessible either by longboat or a plank-walk through the forest, most of the cave system requires specialised equipment. Adventure caving to Sarawak Chamber and other caves can be arranged for the caving enthusiasts.
For the adventurous mountain climber, explore Mount Mulu and Gunung Api. The close-up view of the razor-sharp limestone Pinnacles from the peak of Gunung Api is worth the challenge. The adventurous trekker can follow the Headhunters' Trail, created long ago in bygone days of ancient tribal warfare and be prepared for encounters with local ethnic groups.
Your choice of accomodation at the Guning Mulu National Park can be either a luxurious hotel or the basic park chalet.
