CAVING
(and adventure caving)Limestone. Sarawak, Borneo is full of it. This was once under water and as the water receded after the ice age it washed through it creating cavities, chambers and caves.

There are two main places famous of caving in Sarawak namely: Mulu Caves in the at the Gunung Mulu National Park north of Sarawak and also Bau and Serian areas.
In Mulu one can visit the four show caves (walkway and lights) and can go adventure caving. One of the best route is the Clearwater Connection. Visit the park's website for more info. Yes, we can also take you there on a specialised tour.
Bau and Serian (45km from Kuching in different directions) are easily accessible by car. It offers a variety degrees of difficulty for caving. You could easily walk through Fairy Cave while it may be necessary to use special gear to get through others.

There are also caves in Tai'ee, Giam and also other parts of Borneo. The Niah Caves outside Miri is more suited for those interested in archeology. See Sarawak Forestry Department's site for all information on national park here.
