Mulu trip - 21 Mar 2011

2nd day at Mulu Park HQ. Forgot to give some background of Mulu Park It is located in Mulu, Sarawak (duh) and it is identified as a Unesco World Heritage Area. The attraction here are the complex and extensive limestone cave systems and the pinnacles, a type of limestone formation.

Getting ready for our boat ride to Kuala Litut, the start of the trail to Camp 5

Enjoying the boat ride

We stopped at a Penan village for a while. Even here there are information boards being erected. This is a tourist place

A Penan lady working on a handicraft

Check out the ears

They sell a lot of these beads handicraft. Expensive though

The men are busy making boat, out of driftwood!

A few minutes later, we arrived at Wind Cave. This is near the entrance

You can feel wind breeze through this opening

The path connecting to Clearwater Cave

Real view without flash

On the way out

Next stop, Clearwater Cave

Nice rock formation on the cave ceiling

Inside Clearwater Cave

The notch in Clearwater Cave. The notch is created by the river

The part I enjoyed the most, pushing the boat at a shallow part

Suspension bridge on the way to Camp5

Too tired. Carried heavy bag. Rested a bit

This is the hostel at Camp5. Basic but comfortable. Camp5 is the starting point before the climb to the Pinnacles
