Wildlife and The Rainforest
Niah is one of Sarawak's smaller national parks, but it is certainly
one of the most important, and has some of the most unusual visitor
attractions. The park's main claim to fame is its role as one
of the birthplaces of civilisation in the region. The oldest modern
human remains discovered in Southeast Asia were found at Niah,
making the park one of the most important archaeological sites
in the world.
Yet there is much more to Niah than archaeology. A vast cave
swarming with bats and swiftlets; the thriving local economy based
on bird-nests and guano; ancient cave paintings; a majestic rainforest
criss-crossed with walking trails; abundant plant and animal life
- all these and more make up the geological, historical and environmental
kaleidoscope that is Niah.
Entry Permits & Fees
There is a nominal entry fee for all National Parks in Sarawak.
Photo permits are also required. Check with the National Parks and
Wildlife Offices in Miri or Kuching, or with the Sarawak Tourism
Board, for the latest fee structure. Day trippers to Niah can obtain
a permit and pay any fees at the Park Headquarters.
