Mulu Caves, Sarawak

The Mulu Caves are located in the Gunung Mulu National Park in Malaysian Borneo. The park encompasses incredible caves and karst formations in a mountainous Borneo rainforest setting. The Sarawak chamber found in one of the underground caves is the largest cave chamber in the world. The national park is named after Mount Mulu, the second highest mountain in Sarawak, Borneo.
Mulu National Park is very difficult to reach and the only practical way of getting to and from it is by air. It is also possible to travel to the Mulu Caves Borneo by riverboat, but the whole trip by river takes around 12 hours from Miri. Accommodation is available at the Gunung Mulu National Park headquarters while cheaper lodging is available across the river.

                   

Caves Activities 

   Mulu possesses some of the largest and most spectacular caves in the World.

but please be aware that visitors are not permitted to enter any of the caves within the Park without a Licensed Park Guide.

Daily tours with Mulu World Heritage Guides are available to all the four show caves in the Park or you can make a reservation to explore some of the ‘wild caves’ on a guided Adventure Tour.

(‘Show caves’ have timber/concrete pathways and artificial lighting - ‘wild caves’ do not.)

Enquire at the Park Headquarters office to register and to pay your Park Entry and Guiding Fee. Unless you are a large group, reservations for the show caves are not essential.

SHOW CAVES 

While all four of the Show Caves in the Park were formed by the action of water dissolving the limestone and by the action of powerful rivers flowing through them, each has their own particular attraction. An easy walk along the Rainfall Discovery Walk through the lush forest and alongside rushing rivers to the entrance of the World’s largest cave passage.

Pause in Deer Cave’s ancient riverbed and wonder at the force of the water that once roared through, tumbling huge boulders around and carving the scalloped walls. Above your head columns of water stream from the roof to join the river passages that twist and turn through the mountain, continuously enlarging and changing the shape of the cave.

 Langs Cave

Deer Cave is awesome, large and bold but only 100 metres away is Langs Cave.Small and intimate, with walls beautifully decorated with long shawls, layers of rim stone pools on the floor, and throughout the cave, spectacular stalagmites and stalactites.
