Lovely flower.
.
At 2.13pm, we are heading for our next 2 caves visiting.
.
3.4km with 1 hour walk, start feeling exhausted ? You better not, there is no free lunch in this world even if you are coming for a holiday 
This is only a warm up session for us to prepare for our long trail tomorrow 
.
If you have time, please read it.
.
It is not so difficult to walk on such a nice pathway right ? Enjoying the surrounding make you forget the time and distance.
.
Do you see anything in the centre of this picture ? A Bee Swarm. We do not what kind of bees were there but we know that the largest female bee in the world can be a size of 1.5″ or 39mm long ! Normally they build their nest inside termite active nests. So, watch out for this type of bee when you go to Indonesia !
.
We took about 40 minutes to reach the caves’ entrance.
.
A toilet is availble for your convenient.
.
This is the Deer Cave.
.
Going in now.
.
Actually it was strange to hear that this cave has a lot of bats but why it is named Deer Cave and not Bat Cave ? The answer we got was Deers used to come here to lick the salt on the floor and where did the salt came from ? I believe you are smart enough to think for an answer
.
The limestone caves are one the Park’s most popular attractions. They also provide the habitat for a wide range of birds, animals and insects. Please help us to protect the caves and the habitats……… click on the picture to understand the rules.
.
Friends are reading the information before we proceed to move in further.
.
It says……. The largest cave passage in the World !!
.
Be prepared for a very stinky smell …… bring a face mask or handkerchief with you if you visit Deer Cave but please do not use perfume here. It is a kind of rules violation and also disturbing the habitats here !
.
Admiring the nature ……
.
A must see rock, the profile of former president of The United States, Abraham Lincoln !
.
How many years it takes to create this ?
.
If only human was able to see how it formed …..
.
Another good formation.
.
A note of The “Garden of Eden”
.
Hey, we found a small bat here !
.
How small is it ? Let the finger does the talk !
.
Exactly 4pm, we finished our Deer Cave tour and is going to Langs Cave.
.
Langs Cave, not the biggest but certainly one of the most beautiful caves in the Park.
Yes, I agree with it !
.
The limestone looks like it grows from the ground.
.
Such a gentle process this chemistry thing….. just quietly happening all around us……
.
If you have personally saw these with your eyes, then I may be a lousy camera man.
.
How to describe such a beautiful formation ?
.
Wordless ……..
.
Only the nature knows how this happened.
.
Only picture can tell whether this beauty will still survive after hundreds, thousand years ? But definitely not me ….. 
.
If you are caves lover, I bet that you will want to come back here again.
.
When we came out from the Langs cave after 15 minutes, I found this “Stick Insect”. It is said to be the longest insect in the world. It is also called Phasmids, which derives from Greek word for apparition or ghost. mainly because they can disappear into their environment by pretending to be a “stick” or “leaf”.
Hey guys. it is not easy to see such insect, so I guess I was lucky !
After finishing our caves tour, we were there waiting to see the bats flying out from the Deer Caves. The wake up time for the Bats is between 5.30pm to 6pm but it depends on the weather also, if it is heavy rain, then the Bats will take more time to rest in the cave, worst scenario, you do not have luck to see these bats
While we were waiting, the rain started to come but fortunately, it was not heavy.
