Back in time at Niah Caves.

#exploreasia While staying in Miri we decided to go on a day trip to Niah Caves. We took a bus from Miri station to Niah. At Miri station there are plenty of taxis available to take you to the Niah national park. I recommend asking for the number of the taxi driver for later pickup, because there aren't many taxis at the park entrance. The entrance fee for the park is 20 RM (foreigners). To get into the park you have to watch a short informative video and cross a river with the boat (charge is 1 RM to cross the river). You have to walk for roughly 30 minutes to get to the cave entrance. Don't make the same mistake I did and bring some shoes with a good profile, because the road towards the cave can be slippery. Along the way there is a possibility to use the toilet and to buy some drinks. The cave area has multiple archeological sites. To reach the painted cave walls you need to cross a dark section of the cave. although it is possible to cross this section with mobile phone flashlight, I recommend taking a torch light with with you. The painted cave wall section isn't very large, but still impressive to see. In total we spend about 5 hours in the park. Definitely would recommend visiting the Niah Caves if you are looking for something to do in the Miri area.
