Mulu
Summit, Gunung Mulu National Park
The
climb to the summit of Gunung Mulu (2,376 m) is the toughest
organised trek in the park. It requires a high level of fitness
and a sense of adventure. Indeed, Gunung Mulu has always
attracted adventurers. In the 19th Century, Spenser St John and
Charles Hose, two old 'Borneo hands', attempted to conquer Mount
Mulu. They and other explorers and mountaineers failed. It
wasn't until the 1920's, when a Berawan rhino hunter named Tama
Nilong discovered the 'south-west' ridge, that a way to the
summit was found. In 1932, Tama Nilong led Lord Shackleton and
an Oxford University Expedition to the summit of Mulu.
Today's
trek follows the route discovered in the 1920's. It involves
overnight stops at jungle camps and offers a chance to
experience the rainforest and perhaps see some rare animals and
birds, including various species of Hornbill. The trek is
usually done as a 4-day hike, but experienced trekkers can do it
in less. A number of wooden huts are positioned along the trail
and provide shelter for overnight stops. Trekking schedules and
overnight camping arrangements can be worked out beforehand with
your guides. Trekkers should go prepared. Good walking shoes are
essential, as is a sleeping bag (or blanket) as it can get cold.
Food supplies, cooking utensils and sufficient water must also
be taken. The park guides and travel companies can arrange this.
