A Memorable Trip To Mulu National Park

How to put aside my works and enjoy my life without a care in the world? That’s simple for me! I spent 3 days 2 nights in Mulu National Park with monkeys. LOL! Given the spectacular nature of the park and its biological significance, it is not surprising that Mulu trip is one of the memorable moments in my life. Mulu is known for many things. For one, there is the Mulu Caves, a series of caves that really fascinate me. Well, are you ready to share my great excursion to Mulu National Park? Okay, let the pictures do the talking!

Day 1: Travelling to Mulu, Lang’s Cave, Deer Cave & Bats Exodus

OMG! I was inside the world’s largest cave passage (Deer Cave).

Can’t you recognize that? It’s Monkey King’s Profile… Oops, I mean Abraham Lincoln’s profile.

How big is the cave?

Now, you know?

Just a glimpse of the Garden of Eden… No time to go, sigh!

The 60 metres high “shower” continuously pouring from the roof near the Garden of Eden, speechless!

Che-Cheh, this wind cave differs than the wind cave I went. The wind cave I went is in Kuching and cannot compete with this one in any capacity.

Was there last year. Took a lot of pics but lost all of it. I kept the pics in my laptop. The laptop was stolen together with my Prado. Sad story. Feel like going back to Mulu just to take pics. A nice place to relax.
