GOMANTONG CAVE in BORNEO MALAYSIA - COCKROACH CAPITAL of the WORLD
We went to GOMANTONG CAVE on our last day of a 4Day/3Night tour here in BORNEO MALAYSIA! This cave was a very unexpected surprise! We have never been in a cave so big and filled with so many COCKROACHES, SWIFTLET BIRDS, AND BATS! Really felt like we were in an Indiana Jones movie with all those critters! We have named the GOMANTONG CAVE, COCKROACH CAPITAL OF THE WORLD! Hope we didn't gross you out too much!

Gomantong Cave Sandakan
SANDAKAN - Borneo, Sabah, Malaysia
Sandakan formerly known at various times as Elopura, is a town in Sabah, Malaysia. It is the second largest town in Sabah after Kota Kinabalu. It is located on the east coast of the state in the administrative centre of Sandakan Division and was the former capital of British North Borneo. The town has an estimated population of 157,330 while the surrounding municipal area has a total population of 396,290.
Before the founding of Sandakan, Sulu Archipelago was the source of dispute between Spain and the Sultanate of Sulu for economic dominance in the region. Sandakan began to prosper when the British North Borneo Company (BNBC) started to build a new settlement in 1879, developing it into an active commercial and trading centre as well as making it the main administrative centre for North Borneo.
Sandakan is one of the main ports for oil, tobacco, coffee, sago, and timber exports. Other economic activities include fishing, ship building, eco-tourism, and manufacturing. Among the tourist attractions in Sandakan are Sandakan Heritage Museum, Sandakan Cultural Festival, Sandakan War Memorial, Sepilok Orang Utan Sanctuary, Turtle Islands National Park, and Gomantong Caves.
GOMANTONG CAVES - Swiftlet nests, which are harvested for bird's nest soup
The Gomantong Caves are an intricate cave system inside Gomantong Hill in Sandakan Division, Sabah, Malaysia.
For centuries, the caves have been renowned for their valuable edible swiftlet nests, which are harvested for bird's nest soup. The most valuable of the nests, the white ones, can sell for very high prices.
The birds' nest collection is an ancient tradition, and the trading of these nests has been done since at least 500 AD. Twice a year, from February to April and July to September, locals with licenses climb to the roof of the caves, using only rattan ladders, ropes, and bamboo poles, and collect the nests. The first collection takes place early in the breeding season before the swiftlets lay their eggs. The birds then make another nest in which they finally lay their eggs. After the young have fledged, the second collection is made. These individuals are very much in demand by the people and communities that hold the Government's harvesting licenses.
We would like to thank our guide Mr. Boy from Sepilok Tropical Wildlife Adventure for @STWA the excellent presentation.

THE BIGGEST CAVE I HAVE EVER BEEN INTO~~
Gomantong Caves | Sabah, Borneo | Ep. 5
This time we enter the Gomantong Caves, renowned for the swiftlet (type of bird) population and their valuable nests. These nests are harvested for bird's nest soup and can sell for very high prices. The cave system is home to many other animals, including massive populations of cockroaches and bats.
After our visit to the cave, we round off our Kinabatangan River experience with one last evening cruise, getting up close with a range of different monkey species and wildlife. We end up getting a refreshing surprise in the form of a thunder storm.

Malaysia - Sandakan Hotspot Eco Tours
Flying from Kota Kinabalu (KK) to Sandakan is easy, fast and inexpensive. This tour was very well organized by Mr Lai of Sandakan Hotspot Eco-Tours. Leaving from KK early morning on day 1, I was met as well as other tourists at Sandakan airport by Hadi, our professional and agreeable tour-guide. After a quick breakfast at a local cafe, we arrived at the Sepilok Orang-Utan Reahabilitation Center, one of only 4 such centers in the world. You get to see orang-utans coming at feeding time on their free will as they are free in nature. You also get to see the newly rescued orang-utans getting some training to be able to survive later in the wild. After a great visit there, we had a nice buffet lunch at a local restaurant and our comfortable A/C bus took us to the Gomantong Caves. We were very fortunate to visit during the 6 weeks a year when bird nests collectors are at work. It gave an extra interest to this huge cathedral-type of cave. Then, we drove to the Sungai Kinabatangan, Sabah's longest river. After checking-in at Borneo Natural Bilit Sukau Resort where I was quite surprised at how nice the bungalows were: I did not need the A/C as the cool temperature and fans where just right. Nice traditional style but clean and spacious. Rooms with personality! After a quick snack, we went for a late afternoon river cruise to spot many types of birds, proboscis monkeys, macaques, and perhaps crocodiles and pygmy elephants. You realize then that your eyes are much better than your camera at distinguishing the creatures often far away and in the shade! After this 2h1/2 hour trip we came back at the resort for a buffet dinner with the many other tourists (most backpackers-type) that came for a day tour or overnight like I did. Shortly after dinner, we were invited to join a night walk around the property to see some animals sleeping like insects and birds. After a great night of sleep, I got up early again, this time to go to a 6am river tour, giving us more chance to see the wild animals clinging to the jungle bordering the river with infamous palm oil trees fields beyond! I let you watch the video to see what animals we did see … After a breakfast on our river tour return, a big bus took a lot of us to diverse destinations, sometimes to connect with other buses. Back at Sandakan airport mid-day, I was back in KK by 4pm on day2. A busy but really fun 2-day tour!
I recommend and thank Mr Lai of Sandakan Hotspot Eco-Tours for his support and our great guide, Hadi. Filmed in August 2018.

In this episode we leave the Kinabatangan River and explore one of the must see sights in Sabah - The Gomantong caves. The caves are famous for the source of nests for the Chinese Bird Nest soup. This has created a large area of protected rain forest.
The caves are beautiful and have recently featured on a David Attenborough documentary.
After the caves we head south to Semporna.
