4D3N – Mulu Caves & Pinnacles


Introduction : The virgin tropical rainforest of Sarawak, along an unbroken 40 Km band of limestone peaks, lie one of earth’s natural wonder – The Mulu Caves, Hidden away on the face of steep mountains rising to 1,500m, rivers suddenly disappear into these caves. A mysterious, magical world whose interior simply ripples with exciting discoveries. The Mulu Caves Complex contains 4 Show Caves which you can journey into – The Cave of Winds, Clearwater Cave, Deer Cave and Land’s Cave. Gunung Api or Pinnacles is of special interest, being the highest limestone mountain in Malaysia, and possessing the Pinnacles, strange limestone spikes, like figures watching the park below, with some standing 45meter (148 feet ) high, climbing and watching sunrise is a dream comes 
true for climbers.

After lunch then trek  for 3km plank walk to the Deer Cave and Lang Cave. Late afternoon, observe the million of bats coming out from the vast of the Deer Cave which will be a memorable sight during fine weather. Return to your accommodation for overnight & dinner.

The Melinau River in front of Camp 5 is crystal clear and ideal for swim after the trek. Dinner and overnight will be at Camp 5.
