ESSENTIAL MULU SHOWCAVES & PINNACLES

DAY 01 DEER & LANG CAVES (D)
Upon arrival in Mulu airport, meet and transfer to the Park HQ. In the afternoon, take a scenic 3km plankwalk through primary rainforest to the entrance of Deer Cave. Deer Cave has the world's largest cave entrance and is the largest single cave passage in the world - about 120 - 150 m in diameter, or it can fit St. Paul's Cathedral under its massive archway. The cave has a moon-like landscape and from one vantage point, a perfect profile of President Lincoln can be observed. 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. Next to Deer Cave is Lang’s Cave. The stalactites and stalagmites inside this cave are representative of the very best limestone formations in the park. Trek back to the Park HQ by torchlight for overnight.
