A small national park about half an hour south of Miri, covered in some of the most species-rich forest on earth. Locals come for the waterfalls and their swimming pools, while keen hikers head for the summit of Bukit Lambir.

  2. Pantu WaterfallA quieter fall about an hour in, with ladders down into a ravine at the end.Map ↗
  3. Bukit Lambir summitA long, steep day hike to the top, with views over the forest.Map ↗
  4. Forest walksColour-coded trails wind through tall dipterocarp forest. Look out for hornbills.Map ↗

Good to know

  • Register at park HQ and be out of the forest by late afternoon.
  • Trails sometimes close after floods. Ask at HQ which ones are open.
  • Bring swimwear and a change of clothes.
