The Plank Walkways to the Niah caves
The four-kilometre walk to the caves is not difficult. One-way walking
time to the entrance of the Great Cave is about 1.5 hours. The few steep
sections near the entrance of the Great Cave, as well as inside the cave, are
equipped with stairs. The height at the starting point is sevens metre above
sea level. At the entrance of Niah Great Cave, called the West Mouth, the
height is 49 m above sea level. This is the principal access route to the Niah
Great Cave and is used by about 20,000 visitors annually.
Painted Cave
This trail follows the valley between two limestone hills for a
distance of about 600 m (15 minutes). The trail then ascends the side of a
small limestone hill up to the entrance of Painted Cave. The cave paintings are
protected behind a tall fence.
Rumah Chang
The plank walkway to Rumah Chang (also called Rumah Ugop) branches off
from the main walkway at the bridge over the Subis river. This Iban longhouse
is about 800 (20 minutes) from the junction and just outside the park. The
people here like to sell handicrafts to visitors. For visitors who are unable
to visit Sarawak’s interior this is a good opportunity to see a longhouse.
Jalan Madu (or Bermadu)
This trail branches off the main walkway about one kilometre from the
Pangkalan Lobang jetty. Walking time from this point to the junction with Bukit
Kasut is about 45 minutes. The trail follows the base of the limestone cliff
along Gunung Subis’s west side. This trail can be very muddy during wet weather
and is occasionally flooded after heavy rain.
The Large Chamber (Padang)
Also known as Moon Cave, the passage at the back of the Great cave
leads to the large chamber known as 'Padang' where shafts of sunlight stream
down from the large holes in the cave roof to illuminate the bizarre rock
formations in the Burnt Cave. A great spot for taking photos. After the Padang,
the cave passage becomes pitch black. Armed with a flashlight, you will need to
find your way along the plank walk and view the extraordinary shapes and
weathering effects found in this cave.
