Wind Cave Nature Reserve Kuching Sarawak

• Share

The Wind Cave that is only about 15 minutes away from Fairy Cave Sarawak is one of the famous caves here in Kuching Sarawak Borneo. The Wind Cave consist of multiple river passages through the rock leading to an entrance on the far side of the hill overlooking the Sarawak River.

You’ll need at least 2 hours to cover this whole area. The Wind Cave Bau is sort of like a pitch dark maze, so you’ll need to bring along Torch Lights or night vision goggles. I was not prepared with the torches, but not to worry, you can also rent them at the entrance at RM2 per torch light.

The reason they call this the Wind Cave is because you’ll feel a light breeze as you walk along the wooden platform that is created along the cave. You’ll hear the bat sounds, and those who are afraid of the dark, might find this place scary. I was told that the Bats consist of many types, but they all have ultra sound navigation system, so there are no cases where the bats touches the visitors. The bats also feed on fruits and other insects so they are fairly safe.

There are 3 main tracks at the Wind Cave and one of them is quite low, so for those who are tall, they’ll need to watch out. All along the tracks are notice boards that explain with illistration about the caves and their geological process. You can also walk through the nature reserve near the Wind Cave.

Getting to this cave is fairly easy because it is located only 45 minutes from Kuching town and 5 minutes away from a town called Bau. The Wind Cave Nature Reserve covers 6.16 hectares and includes the cave itself and the surrounding forest. Outside the cave, if you come in a group, there are Barbeque pit areas and clean bathrooms. They are open every day from 8.30am till 4.30pm in the evening.
