Sarawak Chamber (Advanced)

  World Heritage 
  Guide

  RM500 for 1 - 5 persons extra person RM100,
  maximum of 8.

(Advanced – requires Park Manager approval) 
Sarawak Chamber is a tour for visitors that

  • Can demonstrate current membership of an internationally recognized speleological society or caving group, or
  • Can provide details of* previous caving experience or
  • have completed one of the easier tours at Mulu first.


Sarawak Chamber is a challenging trek even for fit and experienced cavers. Taking one very full day, beginning at 6.30 am at the Park HQ office you will follow the Summit Trail for about 3 hours. Access to the chamber is via Gua Nasib Bagus (Good Luck Cave) taking about 3 hours along a 800 metre river channel with sheer rock faces rising to about 50 metres on either side. 

After a 200 metre traverse and a steep boulder slope you come face to face with the inky blackness of earth’s largest chamber. Enjoy a short rest at the mouth of the chamber, before the return trip.

You will need to have good hiking boots, a day pack, raincoat, lunch, water, personal first aid kit and a back up torch. You will be provided with a caving helmet, head lamp and ropes as required.


If the water levels are too high, the tour must be cancelled and the group returns to Park headquarters.


CANCELLATION BY THE PARK STAFF

  • If the trek is cancelled before leaving the Park office then there will be a full refund.
  • Once you have left the Park Office there will be no refund whatever the reason for the tour not going all the way to Sarawak Chamber eg, fitness levels, water levels or sickness.
  • If during the trek to the cave entrance the guide believes that water levels will be too high in Sarawak Chamber but still suitable at Drunken Forest then the tour will be changed at no extra charge.

Dont wait until its too late....

10th grade 

As I sat there in English class, I stared at the girl next to me. She was my so called "best friend". I stared at her long, silky hair, and wished she was mine. But she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. After class, she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before and handed them to her. She said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanted to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

11th grade 
The phone rang. On the other end, it was her. She was in tears, mumbling on and on about how her love had broke her heart. She asked me to come over because she didn't want to be alone, so I did. As I sat next to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine. After 2 hours, one Drew Barrymore movie, and three bags of chips, she decided to go to sleep. She looked at me, said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why. 

Senior year 
The day before prom she walked to my locker. My date is sick" she said; he's not going to go well, I didn't have a date, and in 7th grade, we made a promise that if neither of us had dates, we would go together just as "best friends". So we did. Prom night, after everything was over, I was standing at her front door step. I stared at her as she smiled at me and stared at me with her crystal eyes. I want her to be mine, but she isn't think of me like that, and I know it. Then she said "I had the best time, thanks!" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why. 

Graduation Day 
A day passed, then a week, then a month. Before I could blink, it was graduation day. I watched as her perfect body floated like an angel up on stage to get her diploma. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. Before everyone went home, she came to me in her smock and hat, and cried as I hugged her. Then she lifted her head from my shoulder and said, "you're my best friend, thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

A Few Years Later 
Now I sit in the pews of the church. That girl is getting married now. I watched her say "I do" and drive off to her new life, married to another man. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn't see me like that, and I knew it. But before she drove away, she came to me and said "you came!". She said "thanks" and kissed me on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

Funeral
Years passed, I looked down at the coffin of a girl who used to be my "best friend". At the service, they read a diary entry she had wrote in her high school years. This is what it read: I stare at him wishing he was mine, but he doesn't notice me like that, and I know it. I want to tell him, I want him to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love him but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why. I wish he would tell me he loved me! `I wish I did too...` I thought to my self, and I cried.
