Gunung Mulu National Park - World Heritage Area (Part 1)

I went to visit Gunung Mulu National Park with my mum, dad and cousin from 13th - 15th October 2007. It was my second trip. Gunung Mulu National Park is the largest national park, covering 52,800 hectares and it was listed as a World Heritage site in November 2000.

On 13th October 2007, we flew from Miri using MASWings' twin-otter flight at 9.40a.m and the journey time approximately about 25 minutes to reach the Gunung Mulu National Park's airport. After collected our luggages, we wait for a pick up which I have arranged earlier to bring us to our lodging at the Park Headquarters.

For visitors who stay at the Royal Mulu Resort Hotel, this are the "tuk-tuk" to pick them up.
