Gunung Mulu National Park in Sarawak is one of the world's great tropical karst landscapes, famed for its immense cave systems, sharp limestone pinnacles, and forested river valleys. Wildlife encounters here often revolve around the evening bat exodus from Deer Cave, cave swiftlets, hornbills, and rainforest mammals, with the park also serving as one of Borneo's most spectacular destinations for adventure and nature photography.
