Niah National Park

The beautiful caverns housed inside the limits of this remarkable national park make it well worth a visit. The cave complex shows evidence of human occupancy extending back over 40,000 years, making it a significant archaeological site in Malaysia. Pottery, axes, jewelry, and other artifacts dating back millennia have been discovered within the caverns, demonstrating their long-standing attractiveness to people as a location for shelter and security.

The caverns themselves are breathtaking to explore, as are the unique geological structures. Outside, the growing animals and vegetation come to a halt abruptly in front of the caverns, unable to continue their march. Niah National Park is unique because of the contrast between the warm and welcome life-filled trees and the dismal and freezing caverns.
