0830 hours - Pick up from accommodation and
proceed by longboat upriver to Wind Cave with its impressive ‘King’s Chamber’.
Here, stalactites and stalagmites with delicate lace-like patterns are found. .
A short walk along a plankwalk next to the limestone cliff followed by a climb
up approximately 250 concrete steps and you arrive at the entrance to
Clearwater Cave. Like most caves in Mulu, Clearwater Cave provides a habitat for
unique species of plants. One of these,
the one-leafed plant can only be found at Mulu. Photo-sensitive algae grow on
certain rocks and produce needle-like formations that point towards the source
of light. Near Clearwater Cave there is a wonderful swimming area shaded by
giant rainforest trees. Enjoy a simple picnic or packed lunch, swim or relax before
returning to the park HQ. From the park HQ, take a scenic 3 km plankwalk
through primary rainforest to the entrance of Deer Cave. Deer Cave is the world's largest cave passage.
Its scale its awesome and you are in no doubt how huge it is when you arrive at
the cave entrance. The entrance of the cave is 150 m wide and 120 m high.
Nowhere in this massive cave is the roof less than 90 m high. The cave has a
moon-like landscape and from one vantage point, a perfect profile of President
Lincoln can be observed. Next to Deer Cave is Langs Cave. The stalactites and
stalagmites inside this cave are representative of the very best limestone
formations in the park. After viewing the two caves, proceed to the Bat
Observatory outside Deer Cave. Most evenings at sundown, a spectacular exodus
of about 2 million of bats can be observed as they leave the cave in search of food.
Then trek back to the park HQ by torchlight and return to your accommodation.
