Gunung Mulu National Park in Sarawak , Malaysia n Borneo , on the border with Brunei is a World Heritage Site that encompasses incredible cave s and karst formations in a mountain ous equator ial rainforest setting. The park is famous for its caves and the expeditions that have been mounted to explore them and their surrounding rainforest, most notably the Royal Geographic Expedition of 1977 - 1978 , which saw over 100 scientists in the field for 15 months.
Today Mulu continues to retain the sense of adventure associated with its original exploration through the provision of adventure caving and other adventure activities. The primary focus however has shifted to the promotion of an awareness of the significance of the park and its environment through the provision of ecotourism activities that foster understanding and appreciation of the parks values.
