of its magnificent atmosphere. When we describe something with best atmosphere,
it is really an amazing thing that could not be solely described by words. |
 7.The
right and left photos are taken in Lang Cave, the formation inside the
cave is magnificent, be prepared to take the photo and make sure your
camera flash is strong enough to take a far distance view, the above
and right photos are taken in near distance. Lang cave is the smallest
cave in Mulu National Park tour, it is very near to Deer Cave indeed,
normally the guide will bring visitors to Lang Cave before visiting Deer
Cave or vice versa. |
8.In
the way going into the Deer Cave, you will notice a stone shape look
alike a human face, if you have a nice camera you might capture the light
inside the cave. Deer Cave has many types of inhibitants, such like bat
with around 28 species, insects of different types which survive in the
dark environment... also along the way you will see a stream with crystal
clear water, where the wild yams grows along the stream...
The
Smoky thing from the cave is not a real smoke, it is bats flying out from
the cave to seek for insects and foods. Normally the bats will start its
insects hunting in the evening.

This is the
stream in the entrance of Deer Cave. Be prepared for a good shoes which
is not slippery, after this stream you will smell the guano of the bats
dropping on the floor, anyway the path way inside Deer Cave is well built,
also the other caves too... You can observe the bats flying out from the
cave near to this stream, it is nice spot to take pictures too.
