Caving

Caving in Malaysia now-a-days is fast becoming a favorite activity among the tourists.
There are a plenty of limestone caves in Malaysia.Some are archaeological sites while others are beautiful with rare mineral deposits like stalagmites and stalactites. The most famous caves of Malaysia are located in Mulu National Park, Sarawak. Designated as a world heritage site since 2001, this park is home to the Niah Caves. A 40,000 year old human skull has been found in the cave and rock paintings which date back to 1200 years also form the main attraction of this cave. If you are planning for caving in Malaysia, do visit this cave.
Caves are generally very claustrophobic. You can hardly stand straight in them. Defying this reality, the Sarawak Chamber, which is housed inside the Gua Nasib Bagus cave, is the largest in the world. Stretching along 110 km, the Clearwater Cave is the 10th longest in the world.
Some of the caves are sightseeing places. The Gomantong Caves in Sabah for example are well known for their birds’ nest industry. The local people collect these nests using bamboo ladders and poles. This is a great thing to behold.
