CAMPING AT NATIONAL PARK HQ .............................................................................................................

Cost

RM10.00 per person per night

Very few people try camping in Mulu and if they are adventurous enough to try, the rain often drives them inside.

Camping is permitted only at Park Headquarters and there are 3 tent sites for a maximum total of 9 persons.  At all of the other Camps, Forest Huts are provided for trekkers to protect the surrounding environment from unnecessary impact.  Wood fires are not permitted anywhere in the park.


Reservations can be made via our email address enquiries@mulupark.com

   

 

 

CAMP 5 ....................................................................................................................................................................

Cost

RM25 per person per night

In the 70's and 80's, Camp 5 was one of the sites of the original base camps used by the Royal Geographical Expeditions. Nestled beside the beautiful Melinau River and facing the Benarat cliff, ‘camp' is a poor description for this spectacular area which has excellent facilities and is a far cry from ‘roughing it' in the forest.

Facilities include large open air sleeping rooms with raised platforms and sleeping mats, fully equipped kitchens, a dining space, toilets and showers. The World Heritage Guide, who is in charge of the camp, and the housekeeper will show you how everything works when you arrive. A ‘please be quiet now' curfew comes into operation at 10.00pm each night because climbers are usually either tired from the day's climb or getting ready for the early start up Mount Api the next day.

Self Catering at Camp 5

If you are travelling with a Tour Operator your meals are usually provided for you but if you are travelling independently and using a World Heritage Guide you need to organise your own food. Our suggestion is to have a picnic lunch from the Café on Day 1 and may be take some frozen Curry Chicken with you which will be just right with some boiled rice for dinner that night. For breakfast – eggs and toast, or noodles are easy and don't forget some food for the climb. Maybe a vegetarian stir fry in Coconut milk and rice or some pasta for dinner on Day 2 and instant noodles the next morning. Ask the Camp 5 Housekeeper about buying one of the snack items such as chocolates, nuts, biscuits and soft drinks for in-between meal nibbles.

Traditionally Camp 5 has been used by those climbing the Pinnacles and using the Head Hunter's Trail to and from Limbang. But, you do not have to be an adventurous trekker and climber to take advantage of this great place, more and more visitors are going there just to enjoy the surrounding forest and scenery by walking to the Kerangas Forest or Melinau Gorge.

To maintain the essence of being secluded in a remote forest and to protect the environment, accommodation is restricted to 50 visitors per night. Solar power and a small generator is used to pump water from the river, provide radio communications for safety and for low level lighting at night.

A rubbish recycling and removal service is provided to ensure that the trails and rivers remain free from pollution and litter. Please help us by using the bins correctly.

   

 

  FOREST HUTS ......................................................................................................................................................
 

Cost

RM10.00 per person per night

Camps 1, 3 and 4 are used by those climbing the Mulu Summit. These are basic, low impact, facilities designed to get you up off the forest floor. They protect you from the elements but most importantly reduce human impact on the surrounding environment. Each site has a rain water tank for collecting drinking water (but boil it just to be sure) and a toilet.

You need to bring your own sleeping bag, bed roll and any personal items you think you need.

   

 

 
MENTAWAI RANGER STATION .........................................................................................................................

Cost

RM15 per person per night

The accommodation consists of four rooms, each with eight double bunk beds and an en suite bathroom. There is also a central dining/lounge area attached to a communal kitchen that is equipped with cooking and eating utensils. You need to bring your own food with you this is a very isolated place.

CAFE AT HQ ...........................................................................................................................................................


Café Mulu is open daily from 7.30am to 9.00pm and is located at Park Head quarters. This open air restaurant serves a range of local foods including forest vegetables such as ‘Paku fern' and western dishes. The patio is a great place to relax and read, meet other travellers or play some of the games provided.

We do not sell alcohol in the park but you are able to bring it with you to drink with your meal in the Café.

After your meal you can visit the Mulu Discovery Centre which is adjacent to the dining area, it features the biological and geological story of the park via information boards, video presentations and a library of resources books for you to read.
