Before our time in the jungle was up, the Mulu Canopy Skywalk was still on our agenda. This 480-meter-long and 15- to 25-meter-high path leads over suspension bridges through the rainforest treetops.
Our guide, Ismail, accompanied us the 2 kilometers from the park headquarters to the ascent of the canopy walk. Along the way, we spotted a few more animals, like millipedes and a group of monkeys. However, they were climbing so deep into the undergrowth that we unfortunately couldn't get a photo of them.
Unfortunately, we hardly saw any animals on the treetop walk itself. Occasionally, a few butterflies flew by—each more colorful than the last—or we saw smaller birds. At the end of the walk, however, there was one more animal highlight. Directly in front of us, a thin snake, about 50 cm long, crawled from the suspension bridge onto a neighboring branch. There, it positioned itself, almost like a model, so I could get some nice shots.
We think Gunung Mulu National Park is definitely worth a visit. However, if you enjoy adventure and long hikes, such as to the summit of Gunung Mulu, you should plan at least five days.
