Niah National Park is located on the Sungai (River) Niah, about
3 km from the small town of Batu Niah, 110 km south-west of Miri.
The park was first gazetted as a National Historic Monument in 1958,
and in 1974 some 3,100 hectares of surrounding rainforest and limestone
hills were included, to form Niah National Park. The park has a
visitor centre and good accommodation, and is very easy to get around,
thank to an extensive network of plankwalks to and throughout the
caves. A torch (flashlight) and good walking shoes are absolutely
essential - the caves are unlit and the plankwalk can become slippery
from guano. A wide-brimmed hat is desirable, for obvious reasons. |
