The Lang Cave or Langs Cave in the National Park of Mulu in Sarawak is one of the caves worth a quick visit if you do go there. The cave is located just next to the Deer Cave in the park and a few minutes walk from the Bat Observatory. Lang Cave is one of the most beautiful caves in Mulu was discovered in 1977 by a local Berawan man named Lang Belarek. Along the 240m walkway through the cave you can see variety of stalactities, stalagmites and other cave formations and have chance to see some cave critters like bats, swiftlets, spiders or even small cave snakes.
Lang Cave is one of the smallest caves in the Mulu National Park. The beauty about the Lang Cave is the formation of the limestone for over thousands of years. The cave here is also a wet cave as there is water dripping off the stalagmites almost everywhere.

Beautiful stalactities, stalagmites formation at Lang Cave
The water drops from the stalactite falls onto the limestone cave floor below,
it will form a cone of calcite which would eventually become a stalagmite.
