Jungle and Mountain Treks

geographic features.
The Gunung Mulu Summit
Trek requires a craving for adventure and high level
of fitness. The trek to the Pinnacles of Gunung Api is less demanding and a truly memorable experience. The trail passes through beautiful scenery to the viewing point, where razor-sharp limestone pinnacles tower above the surrounding forest. The Headhunters Trail, which combines jungle trekking with river travel and a stay in an Iban longhouse, is a unique and interesting way of accessing the park.
