Home/Tours/Borneo Escapade: Mulu Caves & the Pinnacles Trek
About This Tour
An 8-day adventure into Gunung Mulu National Park — the bat exodus at Deer Cave, a longboat cruise to Wind Cave and Clearwater Cave, a jungle trek to Camp 5, the climb to the Mulu Pinnacles, and a return along the Headhunter's Trail to a longhouse. A Kuala Lumpur and Mulu route — an arrival night in Kuala Lumpur, four nights deep in Gunung Mulu National Park (including a jungle camp and a longhouse stay), and a final night back in Kuala Lumpur before departure.
