NIAH CAVES DAYTRIP

0830 hours pick up from hotel in Miri and drive about 2 hours to Niah National Park (110 km). From the park headquarters hike on a 3 km raised plank walk that winds its way through lowland forest to the entrance of the Great Cave. The Great Cave sheltered human life 40,000 years ago. Here lie some of the oldest human remains in Southeast Asia, along with many other relics of prehistoric man. Today the cave is home only to bats, swiftlets and other specially adapted forms of life. Local people still venture into the dark interior to collect guano and birds nest. Explore the cave and surroundings before returning to Miri in the late afternoon.
