Mount Mulu — Local services in Borneo

The Mulu Caves are easier reached by Air using a Twin Otter plane from Miri and will take approximately one hour, though river transport which is very adventurous to some may be used but will take approximately 10-12 hours. Is a great place to visit, to go into the thick jungles and visit some of the greatest, most historical and beautiful caves in the World. I was lucky to have been there on 6 occasions, covering the Deer Caves(Abraham Lincoln's profile), Lang's Cave(Emperor's Chamber), Clear Water Cave, Moon Milk Cave and ect. which are not opened to the General Public yet.You can find gigantic trees as well as Giant Ferns and Wild Jungle Yam which are taller than human beings. A local guide/porter must be engaged/hired to bring or guide you through the caves as one can easily get lost along the many different paths along the way or lost inside the caves. Every explorer must register and purchase your entrance tickets as well as your Guide's and Potter's fees at the Park's Headquarters. Good walking shoes are a must, cause some of the paths leading to the caves are very wet and slippery. Bring along biscuits and drinks which you may take only at the entrance of the Great Caves. Torch lights and spare batteries are also very important as most of the caves are very dark. Do not forget to bring along your SLR camers. It is prohibited to eat inside the caves as the food particles may destroy the stalactites and stalagmites formation which have taken hundreds and even millions of years to form. For your accommodation you may stay at the Royal Mulu Resort or make your bookings through the Park Headquarters. One Golden Rule at the Mulu Caves are "TAKE NOTHING BUT PHOTOS AND LEAVE NOTHING BUT...

Not to be confused with Mulu Park trails. Gunung Mulu is for serious hikers and nature lovers, a tough 4D3N 48km return trip from Mulu Park HQ. At 2,376m, Gunung Mulu is the 2nd highest mountain in Sarawak, and 5th highest in Malaysia. Camp 1, 3, and 4 provide basic shelter, you must carry rations and supplies for the full 4 days. You will need a permit and a guide. The forest is beautiful and untouched, there’s many rare and endemic plants, as well as squirrels, frogs, and other small wildlife. Mossy forests between camp 3 and 4. You’ll cross 2 major rivers from base to peak, so expect to get your shoes wet! On a clear day, you’ll see Gunung Api and Gunung Benarat from the summit. Overall a very tough but rewarding hike.

Day 1: Start from the Mulu Park HQ, hike across 2 rivers to Camp 1, 2 and overnight at Camp 3 (13km, 60m to 1,300m, very steep hike between Camp 1 to 3) Day 2: Hike from Camp 3 to Camp 4 across mossy forests. Overnight at Camp 4 (6km, 1,300m to 1,800m) Day 3: Summit attack at 2am to see sunrise at the peak (1,800m to 2,376m, 10km return trip from Camp 4), then hike back down to Camp 3 (6km).
