Caves is the largest and most important source of edible birds
nests in Sabah. Its situated 115km from Sandakan, a great
run down in the old hire car for a day out (or part of, we also
visitedSukau and the Kinabatangan River that day). The caves were
visited a few years back by Micheal Palin on his travels and boasts the
largest pile of bats pooh. It doesn't smell! The cave is shared by the
swiftlets and bats. Its the black and the white swiftlet nests that are
collected as a delicacy for the Chinees market. The harvesting season
is done Feb, Apr and Aug yearly and is allowed under the provision of
Wildlife Conservation act of 1997.
