4 DAYS 3 NIGHTS
DAY 1
Upon arrival in Mulu, meet the guide and transfer to your accommodation for check-in (for morning arrivals only). Proceed by van to Park Headquarters. Take the plank walk to visit Deer Cave, one of the biggest cave passages in the world. Close to Deer Cave is Lang's Cave, which is small but beautifully decorated. In the evening, we will wait at the entrance to Deer Cave, where thousands of bats emerge most evenings to hunt for insects in the forest. We then return late in the afternoon to the Park Headquarter and transfer your accommodations for dinner and overnight.
Lunch and dinner are provided.
DAY 2
After breakfast, we depart by longboat at 8:30am to the source of the Clearwater River. We first stop at Batu Bungan Penan Settlement for a short excursion to the settlement. You will be able to see handmade handicrafts like baskets, bangles, and mats made by the Penan tribe. From there, we go by boat to visit Wind Cave, with its unusual calcite formations, including the tall, slender stalagmites in King's Room. Just a few hundred metres upriver lies Clearwater Cave, where you have to climb 200 steps to reach the cave's main entrance. Visit the Lady's Cave and the underground river. The pool at Clearwater Spring is a nice place to swim and picnic.
After lunch, we go by boat beyond Clearwater Cave. From Long Lutu, an easy 3-hour walk through virgin forest brings us to a park hut on the bank of the Melinau River, where it leaves the Melinau Gorge. Overnight stay at Camp 5.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are provided.
DAY 3
The limestone mountains of Mulu are bedecked with sharp needles: the biggest and best, The Pinnacles, are on the north end of Gunung Api mountain. Climb over 1000 metres up the steep path to a viewpoint overlooking the Pinnacles; the steepest sections have aluminium ladders for safety. If the weather is good, the 4-hour climb will be rewarded with wide views over the forest to Brunei and the South China Sea. Return to Camp 5 for another overnight stay.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are provided.
