MULU - Deer Cave

Mulu National Park is Sarawak's largest national park. The majestic Gunung Mulu, rising over a mass of sandstone, 2,376 metres above sea level, dominates the Gunung Mulu National Park.
Mulu's major claim to fame is its spectacular limestone caves. The caves of Mulu command a long list of superlatives including the world's largest cave passage (the Deer Cave), the world's largest natural rock chamber (the Sarawak Chamber) and the Clearwater Cave, the longest cave system in South-East Asia The spacious Deer Cave at 1000 meters wide and 120 metres high can contain London's St Paul's Cathedral five times over. The 60 meters high "shower" continuously pouring from the roof near the "Garden of Eden" is one of the many spectacular views within the Cave.
The Sarawak Chamber can accommodate 40 Boeing 747 aircraft.
Most of the cave system is accessible only to proper caving expeditions with specialized equipment. But four well-lit show caves are open daily to visitors. A longboat trip from Park HQ takes you to Clearwater Cave and Wind Cave while a plank walk leads through forest to Deer Cave and Lang's Cave.
Most visitors go to Deer Cave at sunset to watch a black river of three million bats pour out on their nightly forage for insects.
