In the Part I of this topic, I want to introduce to you three natural and amazing places in Malaysia. 

1. Gunung Mulu National Park

Gunung Mulu or also widely known as Mulu Caves is located near Miri, Sarawak. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Gunung Mulu National Park encompasses caves and limestone karst formation in deep rainforest of Borneo. 

Various expeditions had been mounted to scale depth of Mulu Caves and most notably the Royal Geographical Society in 1977 - 1978. Mulu Caves also has the known largest natural chamber, Sarawak Chamber. It was said that it's so big that roughly 40 Boeing 747 can be parked inside the chamber, without even overlapping their wings.
