February 18, 2017<\/p>\n

During my first visit to Borneo, I learned about the Gomantong Cave, but I didn't delve into it and basically forgot about it. This year, someone suggested we go there, and of course, I'm always up for additional sightseeing and attractions, so I gladly agreed.<\/p>\n

The trip was organized by a man who works with the Wildlife Department, thanks to which I not only saved 30 ringgit for the entrance fee, but also got to go to places where tourists are not allowed, but I will get to that in a moment.<\/p>\n

Gomantong Cave is located in the Kinabatangan region, less than a two-hour drive from Sepilok. It is nestled in a 3,297-hectare forest. Besides Gomantong, there are at least 18 other caves in the area where swallows build their nests. The nests in this cave are said to be the best in the world. They are collected twice a year, under strict supervision of the Department of Wildlife. White nests are collected in February and August, and the market price per kilogram is around RM7,000 (about 6,500 z\u0142oty). Black nests are cheaper, costing around RM3,000-4,000 per kilogram (2,700-3,600 z\u0142oty) and are collected in April and August.<\/p>\n

The cave is also inhabited by bats, they live in friendship with swallows, sharing the rent :) Every day, between 5:15 and 6:15 p.m., there is an exchange of tenants and about 2 million (!) bats fly out of the cave and swallows fly in :)<\/p>\n

From the parking lot, it's about a 10-minute walk along a wooden boardwalk, which can be very slippery during the rainy season. We were lucky to spot a wild orangutan perched in a tree along the way. Just before the entrance, you can see houses perched on a limestone rock, where workers live to collect nests.<\/p>\n

Upon entering the cave, we were hit with an incredible stench. It was bat droppings. Those who wanted to could step off the wooden boardwalk and into them. I, eager for adventure, of course stepped down. Luckily, we'd been warned to bring rubber boots; they really came in handy; the droppings were ankle-deep. They practically looked like black sand; it wouldn't be so bad to walk on if it weren't for the cockroaches! Yes, the ground was alive, thousands of cockroaches. Even on the boardwalk, you have to be careful, and I don't recommend grabbing the railing; it's also alive!<\/p>\n

The average tourist walks around the cave and leaves. We were VIPs and went higher, climbing the camora to reach the next part of the cave. There, I saw a nearly vertical wall, and with apologies to the scum, it turned out to be the purpose of our trip! Those who gave up could wait at the bottom, but most decided it was worth the effort. The climb was short but not easy, a nearly vertical wall of scum that led to a dark cave. This time, we waded almost knee-deep, hoping I wouldn't find a cockroach in my shoe. At the very top, the stench was so bad it made me nauseous. I felt like I was in a horror movie\u2014dark, cramped, and suddenly hundreds of thousands of bats started flying around us, practically bumping into us. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't relieved to leave.<\/p>\n

wg\u0142\u0119bia\u0142am si\u0119 jednak w ten temat i w zasadzie o niej zapomnia\u0142am. W tym roku kto\u015b rzuci\u0142 has\u0142o \u017ceby tam jecha\u0107, ja oczywi\u015bcie zawsze jestem ch\u0119tna na dodatkowe zwiedzania i atrakcje wi\u0119c si\u0119 ch\u0119tnie zgodzi\u0142am. Wycieczk\u0119 zorganizowa\u0142 cz\u0142owiek, kt\u00f3ry wsp\u00f3\u0142pracuje z Wildlife Department, dzi\u0119ki czemu nie tylko zaoszcz\u0119dzi\u0142am 30 ringitt\u00f3w za wst\u0119p, ale te\u017c mog\u0142am wej\u015b\u0107 tam gdzie turystom nie wolno, ale o tym zaraz. Jaskinia Gomantong znajduje si\u0119 w rejonie Kinabatangan, nieca\u0142e dwie godziny jazdy z Sepilok. Usytuowana jest w lesie,kt\u00f3ry obejmuje\u00a03,297 hektar\u00f3w. Opr\u00f3cz Gomatong, na tym terenie znajduje si\u0119 jeszcze co najmniej 18 jaski\u0144, w kt\u00f3rych gniazda buduj\u0105 jask\u00f3\u0142ki. Pono\u0107 gniazda w tej jaskini s\u0105 najlepsze na \u015bwiecie. Dwa razy do roku s\u0105 one zbierane, pod \u015bcis\u0142\u0105 kontrol\u0105 departamentu do spraw dzikiej przyrody.\u00a0\u00a0Bia\u0142e gniazda s\u0105 zbierane w lutym i w sierpniu, cena rynkowa za kilogram to oko\u0142o 7000 RM czyli jakie\u015b 6500 z\u0142. Czarne gniazda s\u0105 ta\u0144sze, cena to ok 3000-4000 RM za kilogram (2700-3600 z\u0142) i zbierane s\u0105 w kwietniu i sierpniu. Jaskinia jest zamieszka\u0142a r\u00f3wnie\u017c przez nietoperze, \u017cyj\u0105 sobie w przyja\u017ani z jask\u00f3\u0142kami, dziel\u0105c si\u0119 czynszem \ud83d\ude42 Codziennie, pomi\u0119dzy 17:15 i 18:15 nast\u0119puje wymiana lokator\u00f3w i oko\u0142o 2 milion\u00f3w (!) nietoperzy wylatuje z jaskini, a jask\u00f3\u0142ki wlatuj\u0105 \ud83d\ude42 Od parkingu idzie si\u0119 jakie\u015b 10 minut, drewnian\u0105 promenad\u0105, kt\u00f3ra podczas pory deszczowej potrafi by\u0107 bardzo \u015bliska. Mieli\u015bmy szcz\u0119\u015bcie, po po drodze spotkali\u015bmy dzikiego orangutana siedz\u0105cego na drzewie. Przed samym wej\u015bciem mo\u017cna zobaczy\u0107 domy zawieszone na wapiennej skale, tam mieszkaj\u0105 pracownicy kt\u00f3rzy zbieraj\u0105 gniazda. Po samym wej\u015bciu do jaskini uderza nas niesamowity smr\u00f3d. To odchody nietoperzy. Ch\u0119tni mogli zej\u015b\u0107 z drewnianej promenady, prosto w nie.\u00a0Ja, \u017c\u0105dna wra\u017ce\u0144 oczywi\u015bcie zesz\u0142am, na szcz\u0119\u015bcie nas uprzedzono\u00a0\u017ceby wzi\u0105\u0107 gumiaki, naprawd\u0119 si\u0119 przyda\u0142y, odchody si\u0119ga\u0142y mocno za kostk\u0119. W zasadzie wygl\u0105daj\u0105 jak czarny piasek, wcale by si\u0119 \u017ale po tym nie chodzi\u0142o gdyby nie … karaluchy! Tak, ziemia \u017cy\u0142a, tysi\u0105ce karaluch\u00f3w, nawet na promenadzie trzeba uwa\u017ca\u0107 i nie radz\u0119 \u0142apa\u0107 si\u0119 za barierk\u0119, r\u00f3wnie\u017c \u017cyje! Przeci\u0119tny turysta obchodzi jaskini\u0119 i wychodzi, my byli\u015bmy VIPy i poszli\u015bmy wy\u017cej, po kamorach wspi\u0119li\u015bmy si\u0119 \u017ceby dotrze\u0107 do kolejnej cz\u0119\u015bci jaskini. Tam zobaczy\u0142am prawie pionow\u0105 \u015bcian\u0119, za przeproszeniem g\u00f3wna, okaza\u0142o si\u0119, \u017ce to w\u0142a\u015bnie cel naszej wycieczki! Kto wymi\u0119k\u0142 m\u00f3g\u0142 poczeka\u0107 na dole, wi\u0119kszo\u015b\u0107 jednak stwierdzi\u0142a, \u017ce warto si\u0119 troch\u0119 po\u015bwi\u0119ci\u0107. Wspinaczka by\u0142a kr\u00f3tka ale nie\u0142atwa, prawie pionowa \u015bciana g … po kt\u00f3rym trzeba by\u0142o si\u0119 wspi\u0105\u0107 do ciemnej groty. Tym razem brn\u0119li\u015bmy prawie po kolana, mia\u0142am tylko nadziej\u0119, \u017ce nie znajd\u0119 karalucha w bucie. Na samym szczycie tak cuchn\u0119\u0142o, \u017ce mnie mdli\u0142o. Poczu\u0142am si\u0119 jak w horrorze, ciemno, ciasno, nagle setki tysi\u0119cy nietoperzy zacz\u0119\u0142o ko\u0142o nas lata\u0107, prawie si\u0119 o nas obijaj\u0105c. Sk\u0142ama\u0142abym gdybym powiedzia\u0142a, \u017ce nie poczu\u0142am ulgi opuszczaj\u0105c to miejsce \ud83d\ude42
