just another secret door: Caving in Wind Cave, Sarawak

Last year, I explored the beauty of Sabah. This year I returned back to Borneo but now Sarawak, the land of headhunters is my destination. We had few activities laid out before we actually made our way there. This post is about my experience caving in Wind Cave, Sarawak. I wished I could have explored Mulu Cave, which is far bigger and more thrilling, but well I keep that one for next in the list...

Wind Cave is situated at Bau District, which is around 30-40 minutes drive from Kuching city. You can actually spot the signboards to two cave on your way to Serikin Market, a famous day market lies between the borders of Malaysia and Indonesia, which sells very cheap branded imitations, perfumes, clothes, home deco, sunglasses, head gears, high quality bags, interesting crafts and musical instruments.

The list goes on... oh where was I? Right, back to the main point, there are two caves you can spot on your way to Serikin Market, which are Pari cave and Wind Cave. We decided to try the Wind Cave, the names itself telling us that the cave probably windy, and since it's hot, we could use some ventilation in the cave to cool us off.

The whole trail took us around 1 hour to finish it, it wasn't a long walk actually, but since we stopped few places to look upon the formation and adapting ourselves to the sound of bats and darkness of the cave.

Entrance fees is just RM3 per pax, should you didn't bring along your torchlight or headlamp, you may rent one there for another extra few ringgit. Cellphones light does not help you in there, you really need a reliable source of light. Or else, you end up lost in the pitch of darkness. The sound of bats and the chillness inside the cave alone, can give you goosebumps...

Shared below are some of the pictures for the caving.

It looks bright in the picture, but that was the light from the flash, in reality, you are aided only by the point of light provided from the torchlight...
