Clearwater Cave, Mulu National Park

Clearwater Cave is a cave system in the Gunung Mulu National Park in Sarawak. Measuring 51 kilometers in length and 355 meters in depth, it is the longest cqave passage in Southeast Asia. A subterranean river creates a crystal-clear pool that gives it its name. The path from park headquarters leads in a northeasterly direction to Wind Cave and then Clearwater Cave. The walk is pleasant but, as with many of these wooden plankways, rather slippery in places. For a good distance, the trail negotiates along Sungai Melinau. It reaches Wind Cave first, and continues for another 15 minutes to Clearwater Cave.

For experience cavers, it is possible to explore outside the usual pedestrian trail. In the company of a guide, you can exit Clearwater Cave via Turtle Cave river route to explore the many labyrinthine passages. Be prepared though for a bit of crawling, climbing, swimming and a general roughing it out at an additional charge. Guides for these adventurous escapades go for between RM200 to RM300 for a group of maximum 5 persons, and can be engaged from the park headquarters.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
