The Pinnacles
https://youtu.be/YBu_frO0sog

The famous Pinnacles’ at Mulu consist of a series of 45 meter high, razor-sharp limestone spikes that tower above the surrounding vegetation, mid-way up the slopes of Gunung Api. The trek to view them is one of the most popular in the park. But be warned, the Pinnacle Summit Trek is a tough and challenging one. The trail itself is very steep (near vertically parts) and requires a certain level of fitness.

The Pinnacles Summit Trek is usually done as 3 day / 2 night trek although it is possible to do it as a 2 day / 1 night trek. The first stage is a 1-2 hour boat trip along the Melinau River to Kuala Berar. If the water level is low, the boat has to be pushed over rocky sections so the trips takes longer. Base Camp 5 is relatively easy 7.8 km walk from Kuala Berar, following flat jungle terrain and taking 2-3 hours. Camp 5 is situated near the Melinau Gorge which separates Gunung Benarat from Gunung Api. There is hostel –style accommodation at the camp, and cooking facilities. The Melinau River in front Of Camp 5 is Crystal clear and ideal for a swim after the trek from Long Berar.

The real hiking begins the following morning. The trails is 2.4 km in length but rises some 1,200 meters from Camp 5 to the viewpoint, passing through lowland dipterocarp forest before climbing steeply through moss forest. Here the trees are a lot smaller and everything is covered in slippery green moss. Limestone debris also litters the trail so trekkers must proceed with care. The last section of the trails near vertical, with rope section and 15 aluminums ladders strategically positioned to help with the climb. The vegetation is sparse although orchids, rhododendrons and pitcher plants thrive in the area, and can be seen at the side of the trail.

After some tough climbing you finally come out onto a rocky outcrop where the stunning views provides a good reward for all the effort. The viewpoint area is made up of a number of Pinnacles, rocks and vegetation. After taking some photos and a short rest and a last glimpse of the Pinnacles, it is time to begin the descent back to Camp 5 and the second overnight stay.

It is very difficult to put an exact time on how long it takes to trek to the Pinnacles’ viewpoint. Fit and experienced trekkers should be able to reach the top in 2-3 hours. The not so fit but to determine generally take around 4-5hours. Most people spend an hour or so at the top before coming down. For many the descent is actually more difficult and therefore takes longer, so the return trip can take anything from 5 to 10 hours depending on fitness level.

Malaysia National Parks, Sarawak, Niah  尼亚 国家公园 , 砂拉越州属 , 马来西 亚 尼亚国家公园（ Niah National Park ）有许多有趣和令人印象深刻的景点。这地区是 4 万年前人类的居住中心，拥有世界最大之一的洞穴入口，旧石器时代和新石器时代的遗址以及铁器时代的洞穴壁画。附近的壁画洞穴画着亡魂乘船到来世的行程，洞穴的石地上还有 “ 死亡船 ” 的遗迹 – 船形棺材（这些珍藏已经被迁移到砂拉越博物馆）。周边地区由茂密的热带雨林所覆盖，其中包含了许多不同品种的野生动物和植物。 即使到了今天，这些洞穴对当地社群依然非常重要，燕窝和鸟粪的收集提供了不错的收入来源。尼亚洞穴是一个很惬意的旅游景点，游客可以在这里耗上几天，虽然大部分景点游客可以在白天就可拜访。 尼亚国家公园位于尼亚河，距离巴都尼亚小镇约 3 公里，在美里西南部 110 公里处。这里有一个游客中心和提供良好的住宿，而且因为设有良好的板条步行道，所以非常容易方便行走。电筒和良好的步行鞋是必备的物品。洞穴里没有亮灯，板条步行道因长期洞穴滴水和蝙蝠放粪便而变得很滑。宽边帽子在这时候可以发挥真正作用。 游客若在夕阳时分离开尼亚大山洞将会看见两大乌云交汇。那那是每晚的交替换更，成千成万的金丝燕归巢，同时数量几乎一样的蝙蝠出巢到森林去觅食。在晚上，在板条人行道上可看见一些发光的真菌。 探秘尼亚天下第一燕窝洞 尼亚国家公园在沙捞越州内是规模较小的国家公园之一，但它在专业人士的眼里其考古价值要远远高于旅游价值。 进了大门后，到景区还要过一条河。其实也就是一条小河而已，没有桥，只能过渡，当地政府将这条财路留给了土著村民。每人来回 2 马币。 脚下的木制栈道，将我们引向神秘的热带雨林深处。在丛林中蜿蜒穿行了 3 公里后，爬上一个高台，终于来到了岩洞口。但这只是交响乐章的一个引子，一个小规模的燕窝洞，现在已经没有燕窝了，只留下了掏燕窝的道具。 出了洞再往前走不远，来到另一个洞，这仍是乐章的一段前奏，一段引人入胜...
