How it came to be
Gunung Mulu in Sarawak, on Borneo, centres on a 2,377-metre sandstone peak surrounded by limestone mountains and caves. At least 295 kilometres of caves have been explored, and the Sarawak Chamber, 600 metres long, 415 metres wide and 80 metres high, is the largest known cave chamber in the world.
In the 1920s Tama Nilong, a Berawan rhinoceros hunter, found the ridge that leads to the summit. In 1974 the Sarawak government declared Mount Mulu and its surroundings a national park.
The park has 17 vegetation zones, about 3,500 species of vascular plants and 109 palms, and its caves hold millions of swiftlets and bats. It was inscribed in 2000.
