We had a little extra time on each end of our Pinnacles trek, so we took the opportunity to wander around the park grounds near the headquarters. And of course we took a ton of pics….here are a few of them. Gunung Mulu is an UNESCO World Heritage site and it’s easy to see why…
Incredible sunset just outside of the park
Gawking at the jungle (Sorry this pic is out of focus, but it’s the only one I took of the path.)
Giant fern where I found the stick bug
This is the bridge that you cross to reach park headquarters.
I love finding weird bugs and creepy crawlers and I found a ton….it’s kinda like a scavenger hunt for nerdy adults.
Hello there little bug!!!
Giant spider on one of the Gunung Mulu Park signs
Hammerhead leech…and yes, that is my hand
I don’t know what kind of bug this is…maybe a pill bug…or maybe it’s a grub…yum
I don’t know what this picture is supposed to be of…I thought there might be a very camouflaged bug, but I couldn’t find it
One of the big draws to Gunung Mulu National Park is the mass exodus of bats every night. Each night at dusk millions of bats fly out of Deer Cave to feed. We didn’t have very good weather in the evenings, so we didn’t get a chance to see it. Luckily tripadvisor.com doesn’t mind sharing peoples pics.

If you want more insight into a trip to Mulu I have two other blog posts about our trip.
