If you love caving, Malaysia should be the place to head for. Some of the most spectacular caves can be found in Malaysia. Limestone caves are to found around the country including Sabah and Sarawak, which has the largest cave chamber in the world.
Most caves are habitat to many exotic creatures like centipedes, blind catfish, and spiders - whip spiders and trapdoor spiders, cave racers as well as cave crickets. These caves are so biologically rich that scientists recommended that tourism to these places should be controlled to preserve its natural characteristics thus minimise its effect towards the cave delicate fauna and formations.
Gunung Mulu National Park in Sarawak has many magnificent caves. Here is the world’s largest natural cave chamber named the Sarawak Chamber, which is large enough to fit in 40 jumbo jets! The world’s largest cave passage; the Deer Cave, which is 90m high, and wide whilst the Clearwater Cave which is 107km long is the longest cave passageway in Southeast Asia.
