Gunung Mulu National Park is nestled in the Malaysian State of Sarawak on the island of Borneo. Mulu’s spectacular biological significance puts it on the map of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. 52,000 Hectares of pristine equatorial rainforest awards visitors to Gunung Mulu National Park with an outstanding diversity of flora and fauna. Gunung Mulu stands poised at 2,376m high, dominating an area of deeply incised canyons, wild long winding rivers, limestone pinnacles jutting into the sky towering over dense vegetation that sweeps down onto a remarkable concentration of caves, revealing a geological history of over more than 1.5 million years. Fascinating facts lurk at every corner. With the abundant resource of geomorphic and structural characteristics─ over seventeen vegetation zones exhibiting some 3,500 species of vascular plants─ scientists, naturalists and travelers are granted dramatic landscapes, breath-taking scenery and an elevated understanding of the Earth’s history.
Camp 5 And The Mulu Pinnacles a series of 45 meter-high razor-sharp limestone spikes poke out from the enveloping lush vegetation. It is a real-life postcard from the past to present, capturing centuries of water erosion that has dissolved rocks into spears which knife skywards through the surrounding rainforest. The trek to see Pinnacles is one of the most popular trails in the park but very challenging and requires a certain level of fitness. The route to the Mulu Pinnacles involves a longboat ride along Melinau River, 9KM trekking to Camp 5, and a steep 2.4KM hike up the Pinnacle Summit Trek. Camp 5 is situated near the Melinau Gorge which separates Gunung Benarat from Gunung Api. There are hostel –style accommodation at the camp with basic shower 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 Mulu Show-Caves Mulu’s four show caves sums up the sheer beauty and uniqueness that makes Gunung Mulu National Park a remarkable and significant World Heritage Site. Mulu offers visitors to explore the cave system without necessarily needing caving or spelunking experience. 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. All of the show caves can be visited as day trips from the Park HQ and are delightfully accessible by raised plank-walks and well lit paths. Lighting is strategically positioned around the show caves to highlight the features of individual caves, such as the intricate Stalactite and Stalagmite formations at Lang’s Cave.
