Paku Waterfall at Mulu

One of our original plan was to do the Garden of Eden tour however unfortunately it was fully booked when we enquire a week prior arrival, we therefore had the time for our own and went on the unguided walk ourselves. The walk started at approximately 10am to the Paku waterfall through the so called long valley trail which was suppose to be 6km long where we missed 1 of the 2km walk at a folk pebbles trail that has no sign which causes us missing the 2 km walk and reaches the waterfall with 4km walk. In case you wonder, these trails are pretty much flat so anyone could do it, just do be prepare to get abit messy as the floor gets quite muddy and slippery after rain.

Here's a few shots taken along the way:

There are lots of big and tall trees along the trail, here's one of them

After spending about half hour resting at the Paku waterfall, the plan was to continue walking to the bats exodus observatory deck via the Kenyalang trail where we were hope to spot some hornbill in the trail.

On the way, we came across this nameless trail where we later reckon that it was where the canopy walk were.

Canopy walk - don't think this is recommended, 

The whole walk took us approximately 2 hours where we took some nap while waiting for the bats exodus at the deck. It was a very slow and quiet afternoon, we saw different group of people starting to join us slowly.

For your info, the bats would usually leave the cave right after sunset,  they are time of the year where these bats leave the cave as early as 4.30pm but that night we waited till 6 plus to see just the few. In case you wonder, you can return to the observatory deck on your own any other day you wishrs, it is about 2km away from the park office and it'll take around 45mins walk.
