Cave - Lost World

We went to Gua Rusa - so called because there used to be deer who drank at the cave (apparently the guano from the bats that go into the water is extremely nutritious and the deer liked the water there) but deer don't go there anymore because tourists go there. The formations were really interesting and beautiful.





Can you spot Abraham Lincoln?

Can you spot the bull/Lamborghini logo?

It felt like I was in the movie 'The lost world'


Make sure you don't go off the pathway where it's dark coz it's full of ROACHES

 There are cicadas in there too

It was quite mesmerizing watching the bats fly out in groups to go hunt





It's quite a long walk back so be sure to do it before it gets totally dark. I thought the park was very beautiful and the trails well done (I was actually surprised by how well the park is managed) and I would highly recommend anyone to go visit!
There's only one hotel  ( The Royal Mulu Resort ) now, which will be a Royal Mariott soon I heard. Otherwise, you can rent a place in the Park itself and stay there. The places in the park itself looked quite nice. Find out more about Mulu National Park here.
