SARAWAK is home to one of the oldest rainforests in the world, and dotted among those rainforests are also some of the most spectacular caves in the world.
If you’re planning to travel to Mulu National Park in Sarawak, one of Unesco’s World Heritage Sites, it might cost you thousands of ringgit, as you’ll need to take a domestic flight that’s only available from a few cities in Borneo, and most of the treks are lengthy, tiring and accessible only by the able-bodied.
However, did you know that the capital of Sarawak, Kuching, also has grand caves that are only 40 minutes from the city centre, which you can enter with just RM1 if you’re an adult Malaysian?
The caves are Fairy Cave and Wind Cave, which are located in Bau, a place known for two beautiful limestone caves, two important historical events, and which is a prime rock climbing destination in Kuching.
