Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Niah National Park, Miri 98000 Malaysia
Meet your guide at your hotel lobby and proceed to Niah National Park ( 1 hrs 30 min ride). Upon arrival at Park headquarters, register and have a brief study about the park at the information center. Then, take a short boat ride to cross the river to visit the Niah Museum. After visiting the museum then proceed to the cave’s main entrance which is about 3Km walk, thanks to an extensive network of plank walks. It is easy to get around. A flashlight and good walking shoes are absolutely essential – the caves are unlit, and the plank walk can become slippery from the constant dripping of water and bat guano from the ceiling of the cave. A wide-brimmed hat is desirable, for obvious reasons. The Niah Cave is famous for its edible bird’s nest found high-up in the cave about 300 ft from the ground. The area was a major center of human settlement as early as 40,000 years ago and features one of the world’s largest cave entrances, Palaeolithic and Neolithic burial sites and iron-age cave paintings. The nearby Painted Cave houses wall-paintings depicting the boat journey of the dead into the afterlife, along with remnants of “death-ships” on the cave floor – boat-shaped coffins (its contents have been transferred to the Sarawak Museum). Return journey on the same plank walk to Niah National Park headquarters for lunch and then proceed to Tusan Beach for sunset view.
