Sarawak, the largest state in Malaysia, is located on the island of Borneo, and it is there that Mulu National Park resides. Because of its extraordinary biological value, Mulu has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Mulu National Park has an impressive 52,000 hectares of unspoiled tropical rainforest, home to a wide variety of flora and wildlife. At 2,376 metres tall, Gunung Mulu towers over the surrounding landscape, which features deeply carved canyons, wild long winding rivers, limestone pinnacles jutting into the sky, and towering vegetation that sweeps down onto a remarkable concentration of caves, revealing a geological history spanning over 1.5 million years. You may find fascinating information everywhere.
Geomorphic and structural features provide scientists, naturalists, and tourists with stunning landscapes, breathtaking beauty, and a deeper knowledge of Earth's past. There are over 17 vegetation zones displaying around 3,500 species of vascular plants.
More about Camp 5 and the Mulu Pinnacles
From the thicket of plants that surround them, a succession of 45-meter-tall, razor-sharp limestone spikes emerge. It's like a postcard from the past brought into the present day, with the rocks eroded into sharp spears by water over millennia and poking up through the canopy of the nearby jungle like arrows.
Seeing the Pinnacles is worth the effort, although it is one of the most difficult hikes in the park. You may reach the Mulu Pinnacles by taking a longboat journey down the Melinau River, then hiking for 9 kilometres to Camp 5, and continuing on the steep ascent of 2.4 kilometres up the Pinnacle Summit Trek.
Due to safety reasons, the National Park has set a total of 4 checkpoints to the Pinnacle Viewpoint Summit. At each checkpoint, there is a cut-off time. At any of the checkpoints, if you miss the cut-off time, you will not be able to continue your climb.
The Cut-Off Times for Each Checkpoint for The Mulu Pinnacles Hike are as below:

If you are unable to reach the checkpoint within any of the cut-off times, you will not be permitted to continue your climb due to safety reasons.
Camp 5 may be found in the vicinity of the Melinau Gorge, which divides Gunung Benarat and Gunung Api. The camp offers dorm-style sleeping quarters with shared kitchen and bathroom amenities. After making the journey from Long Berar, cool up with a dip in the crystal-clear Melinau River in front of Camp 5.
More About the Mulu Show Caves
The sheer beauty and originality of the four exhibition caves in Mulu are representative of everything that makes Mulu National Park a fascinating and valuable World Heritage Site. It is possible for tourists visiting Mulu to explore the cave system without prior caving or spelunking expertise. Deer Cave and Lang's Cave can be reached via a boardwalk through the forest, while Clearwater Cave and Wind Cave can be reached via a longboat ride up the Melinau River or a 4-km nature route.
All of the exhibition caves are easily accessible through elevated boardwalks and well-lit walkways, and may be explored in a day excursion from the park headquarters. Stalactite and stalagmite formations at Lang's Cave, for example, are illuminated by carefully placed lights in the display caverns.
