Deer Cave — Attraction in Borneo

You have to be on a tour that cost @ RM35 per pax to enter Deer and the another nearby cave called Lang! Although if you just want to see the bat exodus and dont wanna enter the caves, that is free. All of these are within the same place and i highly recommend to visit the caves too.

Deer cave is massive big. We came herr while it was raining heavily. It didnt stop our tour, somehow it looked more majestic as we head in the cave. The cave was protecting us from the rain with a beautiful view. We spotted shrimps, fish, labi-labi and of course lotsa bats in deer cave.

The guamo definitely smell but the walk isnt too frightening. The walk requires u to walk up and down stairs a little via a platform but the view changes so you wont really feel more walks required here than some smaller caves.

And THE BAT EXODUS (subject to the weather, tougher to see during rains) is something...

This is the largest of the show caves at Mulu National Park. It gets its name from the deer which used to drink in the small stream in the entrance area. The entrance area of the cave is huge and, accordingly, ambient light is able to penetrate deep into the cave. The trail does a loop through the dark, rear zone area, where one of the highlights of the tour can be seen from a viewing platform, the Garden of Eden. This is a forested area, filled with ferns, growing in a collapsed part of the cave. From this point the trail loops back to the ambient light area and joins the original trail. After completing the tours of Deer and Lang Caves, sightseers can relax at the bat observatory which is directly in front of Deer Cave entrance. The bat exodus normally occurs at around 6:00 pm and, according to the local guides, the volume of bats coming out of the cave clouds the skies.

Safe...

One of the most stunning caves in Malaysia to visit, provided you love caves, nature & outdoors. This is the star cave of Mulu Park and is the latest cave chamber in the world.

In my life, I've been here 6 times, last being in Sept 2022, where I came specially for smartphone photography. The highlights are the 100m high ceiling with water dropping down like a scene from Avatar.

Half way in, there's the famous Abraham Lincoln silhouette when you look at an angle towards the cave mouth. Your guide will show you that, and if you move left, you can see the map of Africa in the silhouette too!

Inside, Adam & Eve's Shower are also a spectacular to see with your own eyes. The Deer Caves are truly a must-visit for anyone who...
