Mulu Caves – Trepidation Awaits

There is a spectacular secret lying hidden deep in the jungles of the land of the Head-hunters.  Mulu National Park in Sarawak is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, an evolutionary history of 1.5 million years with wild rivers, rainforest covered mountains, spectacular limestone pinnacles, cave passages and deeply incised canyons.

It has the largest known cave chamber in the world, the Sarawak Chamber (estimated to be as big as 16 football fields), and has at least 295km of explored caves with remains of prehistory.  Highly craggy and mountainous, keep your eyes peeled for the Swarm of Bats, the Pinnacles and the Head-hunters’ Trail.  You leave civilization behind as you enter this park as there are no roads and no residences. Only rivers and jungle paths.   But be careful, the Head-hunters still have their hunting rights.  Who knows what or who they will be hunting?
