Cavers in the Clearwater Cave in Mulu (Borneo)

[UNVERIFIED CONTENT] Spelunkers with their guides in the Clearwater cave system in Gunung Mulu National Park (Borneo Island). Parts of this natural cave system can be visited with professional guides from the National Park. The Clearwater Connection circuit is about 8 Km long and 6 hours of walking, scrambling, crawling and squeezing. No rappelling or technical climbing is needed, but knotted ropes are used at numerous places to pass difficult obstacles. The tour enters by Wind Cave and exits by the Clearwater River Cave. This is one of the most interesting caving tour that can be done by park visitors in Mulu. It is open to all tourists if they are physically fit and no problems like claustrophobia and vertigo, but adventure caving tours must be reserved weeks in advance. The Clearwater Cave System is believed to be the largest interconnected cave system in the world by volume and the 9th longest cave in the world at 189 Km (as of 2011). It is located in the remote Gunung Mulu National Park, in the Malaysian state of Sarawak, on Borneo Island.
