Itinerary description

Deer Cave (Malay: Gua Rusa), located near Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia, is a show cave attraction of Gunung Mulu National Park. It was surveyed in 1961 by G. E. Wilford of the Malaysian Geological Survey, who predicted that Mulu would yield many more caves in the future. The cave, which is also known as Gua Payau or Gua Rusa by the local Penan and Berawan people, is said to have received its name because of the deer that go there to lick salt-bearing rocks and shelter themselves.

Deer cave second largest cave passage in the world; largest known before the discovery of Sơn Đoòng in 2009. [wikipedia]

The Lang Cave or Langs Cave in the National Park of Mulu in Sarawak is one of the caves worth a quick visit if you plan a trip to the Mulu National Park.

This amazing cave is located just next to the Deer Cave in the park and a few minutes walk from the Bat Observatory. For your added information, this is also one of the smallest caves in the national park.
