INTRODUCTION

Gunung Mulu National Park is located in Mulu, Sarawak (East Malaysia) on the Borneo Island. It is one of Nature’s most spectacular achievements and the ‘Jewels in the Crown’ of Sarawak’s expanding network of national park. It is also the largest national park (544 sq km) with its most famous limestone cave systems, including the world’s largest natural chamber (the Sarawak Chamber), the world’s largest cave passage (Deer Cave) and the longest cave in Southeast Asia (Clearwater Cave).

Adventure caving to some of Mulu’s less accessible caves are available upon request (Intermediate: Racer Cave, Lagang Cave, Stonehorse/Kenyalang Cave, Drunken Forest Cave, Clearwater River Revival. Advanced: Clearwater Connection and Sarawak Chamber). Hiking includes the challenging Mulu Summit climb (2,376m), the spectacular Pinnacles trail at Gunung Api (1,750m), and the historic Headhunter’s trail through remote rainforest scenery are all in the National Park besides the cave systems.

“Heritage is our legacy from the past, what we live with today, and what we pass on to future generations.” Mulu was successfully listed as Malaysia’s first UNESCO World Heritage site in November 2000.

Mulu National Park is a home to more than 3500 species of plants and around 1500 species of flowers around in the park, including 170 species of orchid and 10 species of pitcher plants. As much as eight different species of the famous bird – Hornbills are to be seen in the National Park too. Besides, over 27 species of bats are spotted here.
