Mulu National Park is such a big place that it is impossible to visit all the places in a week. There are so many kinds of activities as well! This trip, I missed the following activities:
1. Canopy walk (the longest canopy walk in the world),
2. Night walks in the Jungle
3. A visit to the Garden of Eden
4. A swim in the Paku Waterfalls
5. Taking a longboat to Long Lansat River, visiting the Penan People
6. Climbing up the Summit to an altitude of 2,377 metres
7. Walk to the Melinau Gorge
Caves I’ve Visited:
1. Cave of the Winds
2. Clearwater Cave
3. Deer Cave
4. Langs Cave
5. Bat Exodus
Tasks that I’ve set out to begin, but failed to complete:
1. Climbing up The Pinnacles
My Biggest Accomplishment so far:
1. Taking the world’s hardest Trail – The Head Hunter’s Trail!
2. Walking 11km through the heart of Mulu rainforest
3. Pushing boats across the rapids!
4. Being bitten by leeches and being cool about it.
5. Walking 30km despite the stinging pain in the toes
Did you know that there are people who make exploring caves their career? The risks are almost similar or higher than those working on offshore platforms. To enter the unknown cave, not knowing where it leads to, one needs a rope, plenty of food, torchlights, and personal protective equipments. I’d love to try adventure caving next time!
Levels of adventure caving at Gunung Mulu, World Heritage Area:
1. Turtle Cave (beginner)
2. Lagang’s Cave (beginner)
3. Racer Cave (Intermediate)
4. Drunken Forest (Intermediate)
5. Stonehorse (advanced)
6. Clearwater Connection (advanced)
7. Sarawak Chamber (advanced)
My current dream is to visit the Sarawak Chamber, the biggest chamber in the world, that can accommodate a big Boeing 747 in it, as large as a football field! Just imagine that! My next dream is to climb up The Summit! I know I can do it! All I have to do is train myself!
