Marudi District

An inland district of Sarawak and home to the World Heritage Gunung Mulu National Park, known for giant caves and limestone pinnacles.

Marudi District lies in inland northern Sarawak, in the Baram River basin, and is mostly covered in tropical rainforest. Gunung Mulu National Park, a UNESCO natural World Heritage Site, has vast cave systems including Deer Cave and Clearwater Cave, where huge numbers of bats stream out at dusk, and you can also hike to see the limestone pinnacles and walk the canopy walkway. Roads in the area are limited, so visitors usually arrive at Mulu Airport on a small plane from Miri or Kuching, and river transport is also available. It rains often throughout the year, so be prepared for wet weather.
