Mike's review

Visited 2023

One of the coolest parts of Mulu! A building could literally fit inside. Millions of bats to see, bring good shoes to walk, there’s lots of guano and humidity around.

From the source

Major Mulu cave experience with a vast cavern, millions of bats, humid conditions, guano underfoot, and a real need for good shoes.
