The forest opens like a living map: trunks rise in layered ranks, leaves murmur above and a clear stream calls you toward rock-framed pools. On this half-day hike from Miri, a local guide leads a steady loop through mixed dipterocarp and kerangas forest where light filters in shafts and the trail alternates between packed earth and exposed roots.
Geology here is folded sandstone and shale, eroded into ridges and gullies that feed the park’s streams and waterfalls. The area became protected in the 1970s to conserve one of the planet’s richest lowland rainforests—over 6,900 hectares that support hundreds of tree species and an exceptional variety of understory plants, including pitcher plants and orchids.
Culturally, the park sits on traditional lands used by indigenous Dayak communities for hunting and plant knowledge; guides commonly point out edible fruits and medicinal herbs while explaining local stories about the forest.
Expect attentive birdlife—hornbills and drongos are common—plus the occasional barking deer or primate high in the canopy. The walk covers moderate terrain: short, steep sections, humid conditions, and slippery rocks near streams. The reward is a cool pool under a waterfall that invites a brief swim before the return leg.
Practical notes: arrive with good hiking shoes, insect repellent, sun protection and at least 1–1.5 liters of water; pack swimwear and a quick-dry towel. Morning departures avoid heat and increase wildlife activity. Follow your guide, stay on trail, and leave no trace—this ecosystem is fragile but resilient when visitors tread lightly.
