Niah National Park + Lambir falls / full board:
Duration: 2 Days / 1 Night
Day 1
Morning, depart Miri for 2 hours drive passing through oil palm
plantations, secondary forest, picturesque countryside and Batu Niah – a
small inland town. Proceed to the park headquarters by road and check in
at the Park's guesthouse, then by boat to cross the Niah River followed
by 45 minutes walk on a raised plank walk ( 4 km long ) which snakes
through a lush forest to reach the Niah Cave entrance. Explore this
famous cave system, archaeological sites and primitive hematite
paintings on the walls. Observe the bewildering and dangerous maneuver
of bird nest collectors climbing flimsy scaffolding and wooden poles to
reach the dark crevasses of the caves to collect the nest. In the
evening, wait at the Niah Cave entrance to watch the bats flying out of
the cave entrance on their feeding forays, return to Park Headquarters
for dinner and overnight stay at the guesthouse. (L, D)
Day 2
After breakfast, return journey by coach with a visit to the Lambir
Hills waterfalls, which is surrounded by delightful tropical rain
forest, lunch, and return to Miri in the afternoon. (B, L)
