Gomantong Caves in Sandakan, Sabah Borneo
is one of the renown caves for birds nest harvesting and located in the
lower Kinabatangan area or Gomantong Rainforest Reserve. Consisting of
two cave complexes which are Black Cave (Simud Hitam) and White Cave (Simud Putih), these caves have been harvested for the prized birds nest for many years
even till today.

The caves also measure about 30 meters wide and about 100 meters high . If walked deeper inside, the shouting of the Birds Nest Harvesters were getting louder.
Enjoyable rainforest walking to the caves
Judging from the walk we had, it was rather interesting with many things
pointed out along the way. But on the return back through this walkway,
there were more interesting items spotted.
One of the strange snails the size of a golf ball
Another unique critter Ben pointed out to me was the strange snail the
size of a gold ball eating away on one of the leaves. The rainforest
here has quite a number of insects, reptiles, birds and animals
