4D World Heritage Mulu Caves
Sarawak, East Malaysia, Borneo
Sarawak’s massive limestone outcroppings are honeycombed with caves, carved over millions of years by the run off from tropical downpours. The world’s most extensive cave system so far discovered is in the Mulu National Park. So far, 310 kilometres of passages have been surveyed and this is thought to be only one third of the passages that exist. Exploration is continuing.
The well-lit and plank-walked Wind and Clearwater Caves are popular with visitors but no serious deep exploration has been done of other limestone formations.
While most of the caves are for serious and well-equipped cavers only, sections of the more accessible passages have been equipped with lights and marked paths for tourists.
The Deer Cave sees the exodus of 2 million bats at dusk everyday, a sight most visitors has the most lasting impression of.

Day 02 / Miri - Mulu - Deer & Lang Caves
Fly Miri to Mulu. Meet on arrival and transfer to Royal Mulu Resort for check-in. In the afternoon, proceed to Park Headquarters for registration. From the Park HQ, take a scenic 3-km plankwalk through primary rainforest to the entrance of Deer Cave. Deer Cave has the world’s largest cave entrance and is the largest single cave passage in the world - about 120-150 m in diameter or it can fit St. Paul’s Cathedral under its massive archway. The cave has a moon-like landscape and from one vantage point a perfect profile of President Lincoln can be observed. Most evenings at sundown, a spectacular exodus of over a million of bats can be observed as they leave the cave in search of food. Next to Deer Cave is Lang’s Cave. The stalactites and stalagmites inside this cave are representative of the very best limestone formations in the park. Return to Royal Mulu Resort by torchlight. Overnight at Mulu. (B/L/D)
Day 03 / Mulu - Clearwater & Wind Caves
After breakfast, proceed by longboat upriver to Wind Cave with its impressive ‘King’s
Chamber’. Here, Stalactites and stalagmites with delicate lace-like patterns are found. A short walk along a plankwalk suspended from the limestone cliff leads to Clearwater Cave. Like most caves in Mulu, Clearwater Cave is the habitat of unique species of plants. One of them, the one-leafed plant can only be found at Mulu; rare species of orchids and pitcher plants cab be seen in many locations and photo-sensitive algae grows on certain rocks and have produced needle-like formations that point towards the source of light. Clearwater Cave has a wonderful swimming area shaded by giant rainforest trees. Enjoy a picnic lunch, swim, relax and explore the caves before returning to your resort. Overnight at Mulu. (B/L/D)
Day 04 / Depart Mulu
After breakfast transfer to airport for departure flight to Miri, and onward flight. (B/-/-)
