Gunung Mulu National Park

People tell me that Mulu is destination not to be missed. Those who have been there, return to sing praises of its spectacular natural landscape, especially its world-famous caves. Hence, Mulu has been a place that I have always wanted to visit, and opportunity arises this weekend when a few of my colleagues and I flew ourselves there.

The flight took only 30 minutes from Miri, on an ATR-72. Before I had even had the chance to make myself comfortable, the little plane had landed. Lol.

We then headed straight for the Gunung Mulu National Park, the starting point of our caving adventures.

The signage looks like that of Niah National Park

The Park is located by the Melinau River.

There at the Gunung Mulu National Park, we accommodated ourselves for two nights. After registration and payment at the Park HQ, we were shown to our rooms.

My colleagues and I put up in a chalet. It had 2 air-conditioned bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. Each bedroom has 4 beds. There's also spacious living and dining areas and a kitchen.

We had all our meals at the park cafeteria, Cafe Mulu, which was adjacent to the Park HQ.

All I can say is that I truly enjoyed my short stay at Mulu. Will tell about the caves soon, do drop by some time to read ;)
