Magic Mulu Pinnacles 4D

MAS WINGS ADVENTURE

MAGIC MULU PINNACLES 

4 Days 3 Nights

The limestone of Mulu are bedecked with sharp needles : the biggest and most impressive “ The Pinnacles” , are on the north end of GUNUNG API (mountain). To reach the Pinnacles, we travel by boat beyond CLEARWATER CAVE to LONG LUTUT. From Long Lutut, an easy 3-4hsr walk through virgin forests bring us to a Park hut on the bank of the MELINAU RIVER where it leaves the MELINAU GORGE. Next day, we climb over 1000m up the steep path to a viewpoint overlooking the Pinnacles. (the steepest sections have aluminium ladders for safety). If the weather is good, the four hour climb will be rewarded with wide views over the forests to Brunei state and South China Sea.
