GETTING THERE
The park is easily accessible, being only half-an-hour's drive away from Miri. The Park headquarters is close to the Miri-Niah road. Just get on the Bintulu and Bakong bus. You may opt to join the organised trips departing from Miri in the early morning and return after lunch. Arrangements can also be made for overnight stays, upon request.
Lambir Hills National Park
" A lowland area of mixed Dipterocarp forest that promises researchers and eco-tourists an unforgettable experience."

Forget the Amazon or the African jungle, ecologists now know Lambir Hills is the world's most ecologically diverse area. Just a sample 52 hectares of the park's 7,000 hectares revealed 1,050 different species of tree, and each tree supports 1,000 species of insect life.

Ecologists think there are many plant and insect species in the park waiting to be discovered. This ecological wonderland is one of the most accessible of Sarawak's national parks, just a 30-minute drive from Miri. In your eagerness to get to Mulu or Niah you should not miss out a visit to Lambir. Its forest is home to gibbons, tarsiers, bearded pigs, flying squirrels, deer and 157 types of bird.

You will see the wildlife as you wander the park's forest trails. The longest and toughest is to the top of Bukit Lambir (465 metres) but the superb view of the rainforest below make the climb worth the sweat.

There is a 40-metre tall tree tower on the trail from which you can get a close up view of the pullulating life of the rainforest canopy. The Park is also ideal for birdwatching.

Its nearness to Miri makes the park ideal for a day visit but, if you want to study the wildlife at leisure, there is overnight accommodation at the park headquarters.
