Limbang to Camp 5 Mulu

Coming from Kota Kinabalu, Labuan Island or Brunei? Need a cheap package to get into Mulu National Park. We provide land and river guided transport to get you safely to Camp 5. It is  a grueling full day program that starts in the wee hours from Limbang town to Medamit Jetty before getting on to a long boat into Mulu National Park where you will visit the Mentawai Ranger Station then continue to Kuala Terikan, the start of HeadHunters Trail. The service ends when you finish the long hike to Camp 5. Although fast paced, the one day duration program will still provide you a breath taking view of the Mulu jungle on the river and on the hike. This is a cheap and affordable deal to get you into Mulu National Park. No Frills - Basically a backpacker deal!

You may need to spend an extra night in Limbang as your program starts early the next morning. The historic north eastern town of Sarawak has comfortable 2 star quality hotel. You can visit the tamu(local markets), museum, historic landmarks or dine at the local coffeeshops. There is a war memorial built in 1963 to remind of the galiant efforts of the British Royal Marine 42 Commando and the Sarawak police Force, who defended and liberated Limbang during the 1962 Brunei Rebellions..
