Gua Niah Caves National Park at Sarawak Miri

When you at Miri, this is the National Park you must visit. Even you don't like Caves, treat it as an exercise and enjoy the nature. My advised was to bring torch light, wear gloves (at least one side), and go light (little). Just bring along small water bottle. You can choose to wear a cap if worry "drops".

You can bring snacks and leave it in your car. With my experience, I can guarantee you will not eat in the Cave, when you are sweaty and "dirty".

After breakfast, we shifted from Ano Hotel to Jinhold Hotel & Serviced Apartment. From there, we set off to Gua Niah (self-drive) which took about 1 hour 30 mins.

You will be driving in from this entrance which read "Niah National Park" 

I read online some drive to the wrong spot and took them 30mins to return here. They were saying not National Park. **For ease of your commute, as long you search GPS, and the Niah Cave spot (below map) was beside the river. We would need to cross it by boat. 

You will need to purchase entrance ticket.

There was a Cafeteria on the way to your river-crossing.

Some chose to lodge here with their chalet.

Less than a minute to cross this river. Pay at least RM1 for your boat ride.

Careful of slippery path especially after rain.
The way to Cave took quite awhile.

There will be stalls selling snack/drink. (May not always be there)

Finally, we were here.

Slow and steady

This was the Great Cave with a huge entrance.
We need to hold on railing coated with bat/bird shit, so it's wiser to wear glove (at least one side).

The other hand you can take photo.

*Some area very slippery. 

Did you see him waving? (Hint: center of map)

We needed to climb up those stairs. Enjoy the "fresh air" 😛

Now did you see me? (Hint: should be easy to spot 😁)
