In reply to Rachel Heller. they usually boiled it with rock sugar until it the nest becomes soft so it's like drinking a sweet jelly drink..

In reply to MrHull. It's the only cave I visited. Having said that, I think you can count on pretty much any such cave to smell bad. The question is how big is the cave? (Going on the assumption that bigger ones get more outside air) and what's your tolerance for bad smells and bugs? Lots of people go to Gomantong and enjoy it, but they must not be as disturbed by bugs and bad smells as I am.

I’ll be based in Sarawak (9th-23 Feb 2023) and did consider visiting Gomantong Cave. Your blog put me off, do you have a recommendation for a cave visit where I’ll be based?

In reply to John Waith. Yes, I figured some people would really like this cave, but I wish I'd been warned ahead of time, which is why I wrote the article. So consider yourself warned and enjoy!
