Getting There

 
OVERVIEW ...................................................................................................................................................................

Visiting Mulu World Heritage Area is a journey into the interior of Borneo. To get from the coastal city of Miri you must fly over impenetrable jungle or travel all day up the Baram, Tutoh and Melinau rivers to the mountains on the far horizon.

Trips overland to a nearby longhouse, then a 2 hour boat ride to the Park, are possible but very difficult. The only access is via logging roads which can be locked, washed out and in very poor condition.

There are no buses, no highways and certainly no taxis to Mulu. So it's the easy way by air or the scenic and slow, winding cruise by river.

You can also arrive from the north flying in from Kota Kinabalu in Sabah or hiking down the Head Hunter's Trail from Limbang.

Which ever adventure you choose to get to Mulu it is just an introduction to the jungle experience waiting for you.



 
FLIGHTS .......................................................................................................................................................................

Upon arrival all visitors to the Park must pay a National Park Entry Fee
as set by the Sarawak Government, which is Rm10 per person for each day that you
re-enter the park.

RIVER ............................................................................................................................................................................

Alternatively, a ten hour river trip from Miri to Mulu is available. First catch an early morning taxi from Miri to Kuala Baram where an express boat takes you up the Baram River to arrive at Marudi around lunch time.  Board a second boat taking you to Long Terawan, a small community of Berawan people. On the Tutoh River here you must hire a local longboat to bring you to the Park.

This is not a totally reliable service as boats between Marudi and Long Terawan can be cancelled without warning if the water level is too low in the river. Visit the Visitor Information Centre in Miri if you want assistance in organizing this trip.

FROM LIMBANG ..........................................................................................................................................................

The Headhunter’s Trail
(A PARK GUIDE IS COMPULSORY BETWEEN KUALA TERIKAN AND CAMP 5)


The trail takes its name from its historical role as the route taken by warring parties between the Tutoh and Medalam rivers. The trail runs between Limbang, a picturesque town on the Limbang River, entering Mulu on its Northern boundary and trekking down through Camp 5 and then onto  Mulu Park Head Quarters. (or visa versa)

Trekkers must begin walking from Kuala Terikan no later than 1.00pm in order to arrive at Camp 5 before dark.  The area is very isolated with the nearest town several hours away, the trail is well marked and maintained but tree falls and river floods can cause confusion.  A Sarawak Forestry Licensed Park Guide is compulsory on this trail – getting lost is easier than you think.

See Head Hunters Trail page for more details.
