7 Incredible Caves And Caving Experiences Across The World

6. Mulu Caves

The Mulu Caves are located in the Gunung Mulu National Park in Borneo and are one of the top tourist attractions in Malaysia. The park encompasses incredible caves and karst formations in a mountainous equatorial rainforest setting. The Sarawak chamber found in one of the underground caves measures 700 by 396 meters (2,300 feet by, 1,300 feet) and at least 70 meters (230 feet) high and is the largest cave chamber in the world.

It has been said that the chamber is so big that it could accommodate about 40 Boeing 747s, without overlapping their wings. The enormous colony of Wrinkle-lipped bats in the nearby Deer Cave exit almost every evening in search of food in a spectacular exodus.

7. Skocjan Caves

The Skocjan cave system includes the highest cave hall in Europe, a massive underground gorge, waterfalls and a bridge over the gorge that looks like something out of The Lord of the Rings. The caves have beautiful stalactite and stalagmite structures. The Škocjan Caves are the creation of the sinking Reka River.

The river remains on the surface for the first part but suddenly disappears underground, where it continues its way through the caves. The water appears on the surface again after flowing underground for 34 km (21 miles) not far from the Adriatic coast.
