Also, this was my maiden visit to Sarawak. I think I've conquered all 13 states in Malaysia. :)
Gunung Mulu is Sarawak’s largest national park (544 sq km), and also Malaysia’s first World Heritage Area.
We flew to Miri, Sarawak from Singapore, stayed a night at Miri and flew via MASwings to Mulu the next morning. Gunung Mulu National Park is not so accessible in my opinion as domestic flight is required to get there.
Famous Sarawak Food, Kolo Mee - very bland
Dinner @ Meng Chai Seafood @ Miri
Greens from Borneo - not suitable for my liking
The park’s main attractions are the four show caves (Wind, Clearwater, Deer and Langs Caves), all readily accessible by wooden walkways and paths.

The 8km trek through beautiful rainforest and along the Litut river to Melinau Camp (Camp 5) where we stay overnight.
Room 2 @ Camp 5 - an unusual accommodation experience

The Monkey Bridge on Headhunters Trail
Longtail Boat experience
Famous Wild vegetable in Sarawak - Bilin
Dinner at the longhouse
Very unfortunately, we didn't get to see the significant mass bat exodus out of Deer cave in Mulu National Park. Overall, it's nice to be immersed in nature, be away from the city once in a while.
