Default Gunung Mulu summit trail.

Completed my G. Mulu summit trek during CNY, this is one of the toughest climb i did so far with its long distance (24km one way) and many steep climb.
The flora and fauna in the area is rewarding, too bad is not the blooming season for orchids and rhododendron.

G. Mulu view from Park HQ.


The mossy forest after camp3 (1300m).


tentaculata are everywhere.

I did it in 5D4N trek rather then the usual 4D3N, not so tiring and gave me abit of time to explore the surrounding.
