THE SHOW CAVES
Mulu’s four show caves were
selected for their uniqueness or sheer beauty. They can all visit as day trips
from the park HQ and are accessible by plankwalks and well-lit concrete paths.
Strategically positioned spotlights highlight the unique features of the individual caves. A plankwalk leads through the forest to Deer Cave and Lang’s Cave whilst Clearwater Cave and Wind Cave are reached by taking a longboat up the Melinau River, or by following a 4 km nature trail.
ADVENTURE CAVING
After seeing the show caves,
visitors often want to see more of Mulu’s vast cave system. To cater for this
demand and satisfy the curious, the National Park Department has identified a
number of sites that are suitable for adventure caving trips.
Although these sites involve
varying degrees of difficulty, visitors should bear in mind that all adventure
caving requires a reasonable level of both physical and mental fitness.
Adventure caving is a whole lot of
fun. An expedition at Mulu often involves wading across rivers or streams,
squeezing in between rocks and crevices, swimming through undergrounds Rivers
and, of course, getting covered in dirt. Some of Mulu’s caving trips required
knowledge of technical rope work. (e.g. Single Rope Technique or SRT) as
Abseiling and climbing are involved.
Most adventure caving expeditions
are fully day trips, and some involve overnight stays at jungle camp. Adventure
caving trips can be arranged at the park HQ or by tour companies who operated
Mulu packages.
Also try the thrill of adventure
Caving in Mulu:
Venture of “Lagang Cave” (easy)
path to explore an ancient river passage.
This is a beautiful cave with many
stalactites, stalagmites and wonderful examples of cave sediments. Equipped
with helmets and torches you scramble over boulders and along ancient rivers
beds. Experience the thrill of seeing this underground world by torchlight and
the anticipation of what is around the next dark corner.
There is no climbing in this cave
which makes this is a great adventure, ideal for family groups.
In “Racer Cave” (intermediate) you
clamber up and down passageways using ropes. See racer snakes catch a meal of
bats as they fly past.
Your Guide leads you through the
cave climbing up and down the passageways with the aid of ropes. This cave requires
some upper body strength but most people are successful. Enjoy the great
feeling that comes with discovering your abilities and meeting a physical
challenge.
Animal life in this dark place will
amaze you; see insects that have evolved with curious shapes, replacing vision
with long feelers to navigate in this underground world and Racer Snakes that
have learned how to catch a meal as it flies past.
“Clearwater Connection” (advanced)
is a ‘wild’ journey over boulders and through squeezes but ands in the
underground river. A refreshing end to a day of hard caving.
Clearwater Connection is a 4.8km
long trip and takes 6 to 8 hours to complete.
Beginning in the show cave section
of the Cave of the Winds adventurers leave the tame pathways behind and venture
into the 'wild' chambers over rugged terrain strewn with boulders that requires
some climbing up then clambering down muddy slopes and swimming back and forth
across the underground river.
“Sarawak Chamber” (advanced) a
challenge of 10 – 15 hours the rainforest and up a river passage to the
entrance of the world’s largest chamber.
Sarawak Chamber is a
challenging trek even for fit and experienced cavers. Taking one very full day,
beginning at 6.30 am at the Park HQ Office you will follow the Summit Trail for
about 3 hours to reach the entrance to Good Luck Cave. Access to the chamber
takes about 3 hours along a 800 metre river channel with sheer rock faces
rising to about 50 metres on either side.
