Part 4: Gunung Mulu World Heritage Area - Miri

The Mystical of Deer Cave / Gua Rusa

Before it was the largest in the world but now it will be known as the 2nd largest. This cave is a through-going passage where there are 2 huge entrances surrounded by lush jungle with trees several hundred years old. And it can actually contain St. Paul's Cathedral 5 times over and more than 10 aeroplanes can fit inside. Deer cave is also the home of the world's largest bat colony (I will publish Bat Exodus in Part 5). Mr. Jerry told us that few hundred years ago, deer used to shelter at this cave and this explains why the name Gua Rusa (Deer Cave) was given by the local Penan and Berawan people.

The Beauty Formations of Langs Cave

The amazing limestone formation of stalactites and stalagmites. This is the smallest of the 4 caves (Deer Cave, Clearwater Cave & Cave of the Winds) and it was named after a Berawan (local native) who discovered the cave during their hunting trip. I'll let the pictures do all the explanation ya...
