We spent 5 days in the National park! We booked all our tours and everything through Mulu Park and found it all to be an amazing time!!
We were the first ones back to visit the park and stay since after the covid lockdown- the park was in very good working order- staff were looked after and very welcoming. So impressed with the whole organisation and the management of this place!! It was exceptional!
We stayed in the Garden Bungalow, with aircon and hot water and our own private balcony, it was absolutely beautiful and luxury in the jungle!! We spent 3 nights in this room. Breakfast was included. We then could buy our meals in the restaurant there- the food was so fresh and the staff so nice! They catered to us being vegetarian too! Portions were a great size!
We also arranged our trekking with Mulu Park. Usually they don’t provide a guide for the first half of your journey to Camp 5 where we stayed 2 nights. But we were so lucky have Peter, our guide who was with us the whole time. Usually you walk in through the flat and easily marked 9km trail from the river to Camp 5 (very safe to do this on your own) and then the guides take you from Camp 5 up to the pinnacles or other trails in the area.
We did the pinnacles- AMAZING! And again we loved our guide Peter who led the way. We were in great company! Thanks Peter!
Swimming in the river at Camp 5 was absolute bliss! It is a full set up kitchen- so make sure you carry in fresh food that you can cook. There is nowhere to shop in Mulu, so fly in your eggs, bread, rice, veggies, noodles, whatever you feel like cooking for your meals for the 2 days.
There is a shop in Mulu Park that sells tuna, biscuits, chips and noodles which you can carry and cook- but I think you might need more than that.
The caves in Mulu park and the knowledge of the guides were fantastic!! I have seen a lot of caves around the world- and these were mind blowing!! What a natural wonder of the world!!
I can’t wait to bring my family back here for a visit again- it was an awesome visit! Thanks to all the staff at Mulu Park for their care and passion. It was amazing to learn about the Penan tribes living there and their history and home in Mulu! A special mention to Sukie, who shared with us his story and helped us to understand the beauty and importance about the Penan people. Thank you everyone! We feel so lucky to have visited!
