Gunung
Mulu National Park, Sarawak, Borneo, Malaysia
It has
been frequently noted that Mulu "defies description". What
follows is not an attempt to describe
Mulu but rather an attempt to entice and prepare you, the potential
visitor, for the adventure that
awaits within Sarawak's largest National Park.
The famous
pinnacles rise above the tree tops (over 45m) with their razor-sharp
tips at Gg. Api and
Benarat. In the limestone beneath the jungle canopy lie some of the
world's most impressive caves.
It includes the world's largest cave passage (Deer Cave), the
world's largest natural chamber
(Sarawak Chamber), and at 110km, the longest cave in South East Asia
(Clearwater Cave).
Just for the record, Sarawak Chamber can accommodate 40 Boeing 747
aircraft with room
to spare and Deer Cave can hold England's St. Paul's Cathedral five
times over. To date, about 195km of
cave passage has been surveyed and more is expected to be revealed.
