Approaching Mulu airport…

Photo: About to land, limestone hills and some buildings of Mulu National Park in view. Direct flight from Kuching (MasWings).

Was there not too long ago, haven’t blogged about it, took tons of photos, gorgeous weather so gorgeous views. This was a fun trip, heading back there again soon for another challenging climb up a different mountain…

Mulu

Hmm… have I written about my 2009 trip to Mulu?? I’ve lost track of what I’ve written about! Will have to search my entries via blogger dashboard. Anyway, I was in Mulu again this year, this time we climbed Mount Mulu which was one of the longest and toughest treks I’ve ever done so far. It was a lot of fun though, for me at least, I enjoyed the trek especially from camp 3 to the summit. Walking through the mossy forest close to the summit was such an amazing and relaxing experience. We had such good weather the 5 days we did the climb too!

Bat watching at Mulu NP

In mulu now. Fine weather so far, knock on wood! Went to deer and lang caves yesterday and just before dusk saw millions of bats streaming out of the gigantic cave to feed on insetcs. The bats would fly around and make a fast spinning spiral at the cave mouth then a long black stream (sometimes two!) of bats would leave the cave a few thousand at a time. The spiral would be 'refille' by more bats and the whole thing repeats until just before the sun sets. Amazing sight! Will post photos went I get back.
