Adventure Caving

    
 

Sarawak Chamber

(Advanced – requires Park Manager Approval)
Sarawak Chamber is a tour for visitors that

  • Can demonstrate current membership of an internationally recognised speleological society or caving group, or
  • Can provide details of* previous caving experience or

have completed one of the easier tours at Mulu first

* Verifiable written evidence on each participant’s previous caving experience and S.R.T. experience must be provided to the Park Manager for his approval. It should list the caves visited, their location, and describe the trip e.g. vertical rope work, crawling in confined spaces, climbing, swimming, horizontal or vertical systems.

If you do not have previous experience you can go to Racer Cave first where your guide will assess your abilities. If you are successful an advanced adventure caving trip can be organised for the next day

Sarawak Chamber is a challenging trek even for fit and experienced cavers. Taking one very full day, beginning at 6.30 am at the Park HQ office you will follow the Summit Trail for about 3 hours. Access to the chamber is via Gua Nasib Bagus (Good Luck Cave) taking about 3 hours along a 800 metre river channel with sheer rock faces rising to about 50 metres on either side. After a 200 metre traverse and a steep boulder slope you come face to face with the inky blackness of earth’s largest chamber. Enjoy a short rest at the mouth of the chamber, before the return trip. If the water levels are too high, the tour must be cancelled and the group returns to Park headquarters.
