       Situated 
        in the far northeast of Sarawak, it is the gateway to fantastic and gigantic 
        caves. Mulu has the world's largest chamber, the Sarawak Chamber, which 
        will easily hold 40 Boeing 747s. The longest cave passage, the Clear Water 
        Cave, has almost 60km of known passages. And Deer Cave, which has the 
        largest cave passage, was in days long gone a shelter for hordes of deer. 
        It also served as a human burial ground. However, it has now been taken 
        over by millions of bats, which can be seen flying out in formation in 
        search of food. Besides being the largest cave passage, another unique 
        feature is the "Adam and Eve's Shower", a cascade of water falling down 
        120 meters from the cave roof. The Wind Cave, when approached by way of 
        the Melinau River, will greet visitors with a refreshing breeze, especially 
        when they enter the cave after climbing up the steps. Within it is the 
        King's Chamber, which is named for its magnificent display of stalactites 
        and stalagmites of all shapes and sizes. Beware, for this chamber is said 
        to be haunted! For those who have lots of time and more than enough energy, 
        the challenging Pinnacles sitting on Gunung Api (Fire Mountain) is another 
        exciting destination. 
       The 
        spectacular Pinnacles, sculptured and grooved by rain over the centuries 
        rises to a height of 45 meters. It can be reached after a 3 hour climb 
        that is challenging but absolutely rewarding. A variety of wild orchids 
        and pitcher plants rarely seen elsewhere can be spotted along your trek 
        up the Pinnacles.
