As we went further into the massive passage that is Deer Cave, I turned back and go this shot back to the entrance.
Deer Cave boasts some impressive measurements - passage length of over 4 kilometers with a one kilometer stretch with a width of 174 m and a height of 122 m. The main entrance (photo below) has been measured at 146 m. Indeed, you can get an idea of the scale from the two men that appear in the photo.
The day after we watched the bats stream out of the Mulu caves my guide took me to Deer Cave. On the way we passed this dry riverbed. I was quite surprised
As the sun disappeared below the horizon we turned our eyes back to the hills, watching and waiting. And then we started to see the bats of Mulu take flight.
Waiting for the sun to set and the bats of Mulu to take flight, mother nature treated us to this wonderful rainbow as a shower drifted across the hills.
The trail we were following to get to our bat flight viewing experience ran close to the cliff edge in places as you can see in the photo below, of a longboat heading downriver.
