3 DAYS 2 NIGHTS THE GIANT CAVES OF MULU
Mulu began millions of years ago under the sea where layers of sandstone, limestone and shale were formed and then lifted above the sea level, buckled and folded to form steep mountains of sandstone and limestone. Over time with heavy rain, river, changing level of underground water table and chemical reaction of mildly acidic water eroded them to form some of the most dramatic karst landscapes of pinnacles, caves, cracks, sink holes, joints, pendants, blades, passages, chambers while evaporation created stalactites, stalagmites and columns.
Embark on an extraordinary journey in the heart of Borneo with our 3-day Mulu Adventure. Upon arrival at Mulu Airport, experience the wonders of Lang's Cave and the majestic Deer Cave, home to one of the world's largest cave passages. Witness the breathtaking bats exodus in the late afternoon. Day two takes you to a Penan Settlement, Wind Cave, and the enchanting Clearwater Cave, boasting Southeast Asia's longest passage. Immerse yourself in nature, enjoy a picnic, and return to your accommodation. The adventure concludes on day three with leisure time before departing from Mulu Airport. Explore, discover, and be captivated by the beauty of Mulu.

Lang Cave is considered the youngest of the 4 show-caves; therefore, it’s smaller but produces some of the most spectacularly large limestone formations including the Jelly Fish-like stalactite.
