The Mulu Caves were actually pretty well taken care of by the authorities and in generally good condition which is much better than you can say about the vast majority of other tourists sites in Malaysia. Do take note however the smell of guano is very pervasive and you will have to live with it. Also any food or drinks... More

i wish there was more time to spend in the caves. it's also unfortunate that the mulu park politics have hampered access to the caves, that is short of park guides to lead adventure cave trips therefore not trip to that cave. also, mulu belongs to malaysians and should be run by malaysians (and not australians who already have life...

We stayed here towards the end of a trip with G Adventures, and had a great time. Caves were well worth a visit, and the trip to Deer Cave to see 3 million bats flying out is something that I will never forget.

There's more to Mulu NP than advertised on the official website. Apart from the Guided Walks & Cave Tours, there are unguided treks & walks you can do on your own, eg Paku Valley Waterfall (0.5day return). The Clearwater, Wind & Lagang caves which are normally accessed by longboat can also be trekked to on land. The Botanic walk (1.5km... More

Mulu is most well known for the caving system within this national park. Mulu has the world's largest cave chamber and the worlds most extensive network of caves. I liked the Deer and Lang Cave. The Deer Cave is large and imposing whereas Lang Cave is small and cosy. I also loved watching the the Bat exodus at dusk where... More

There might be no other "mega" caves system in the world that can compare to the grandness and the diversity that Gunung Mulu can offer. Surprisingly, my 3-day visit there turned out to be just too short. I arrived in Mulu through a plane from Kota Kinabalu, passing through Miri. Prior to the visit, I had to arrange everything from...

The Mulu Caves are simply fantastic. I strongly recommend travels to go there for a look. However, you need to by physically strong to walk to the limestone caves. The water there are so cool..so clean and beautiful. The caves are marvellous. Really beautiful to behold...
