Things to to in Kuching during RWMF (Part 2)

This is Part 2 of the Rainforest World Music Festival series where I'll b showcasing things to do in little ol' Kuching so that the city slickers wouldn't complain of how boring my hometown is. Sarawak is known for it's humongous caves, but that's in Mulu, which you need to take a plane to get to. Here's an alternative that is only 45 minutes drive from the city centre.

Visit Wind and Fairy Caves

Easily reachable by car, this is a convenient and fast way of getting the Sarawak cave experience. The Wind Cave is tourist-friendly and safe because there are proper wooden platforms to walk along. There's a tourist information centre where you can rent a torchlight which is included in the rm 3 entrance fee you pay.

You get to see interesting rock formations and little bats that look like more like baby birds flying above. It takes less than 30 minutes to explore the cave. Pictured below is one of the three entrances where you can enjoy a continuous airflow of wind in your face, hence the name Wind Cave.
Fairy Cave is just 10 minutes' drive away from Wind Cave. I didn't explore Fairy Cave because I was put down by the many flights of stairs one needs to climb to the entrance. Pictured below is the entrance which is already breath-taking:

This is a recommended tourist activity to do in the afternoon when you don't want to be under the hot sun. Remember to bring a cap for the hot sun and bats' droppings!
