Nature and Trekking Tours in Gunung Mulu National Park: Headhunter’s Trail and Mulu Caves

Headhunter's Trail

Follow the ancient headhunters’ trail and visit the world’s largest limestone caves in Sarawak


Overview

Visit the Gunung Mulu National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and trek along the famousHeadhunter's Trail, which follows the route taken by the ancient Kayan tribes on their headhunting raids to a neighbouring river valley. They then dragged their longboats through the forest for about 3 kilometres until they reached the banks of the Terikan River, where they launched headhunting raids against the people of the Limbang area.

Sleep over at an Iban Longhouse and you might get the older men of this indigenous aboriginal tribe of Malaysia relating tales of the grisly exploits of their not-too-distant ancestors. Listen to the myriad sounds as the rainforest comes alive at night.

Explore one of Malaysia’s most popular holiday destinations in the Gunung Mulu National Park, the Mulu Caves, one of the largest limestone cave systems in the world. This breath-taking natural wonder contains the world's largest cave passage (Deer Cave), the world's largest natural chamber (Sarawak Chamber), and the longest cave in Southeast Asia (Clearwater Cave). These are reached by a comfortable 3-km plank walk through the jungle. Don’t miss the sight of a thousand bats exiting a cave all at once that can be seen from a viewing platform.
