Search flights from BBN to MUR
Mount Murud
Visibility of Sarawak's highest peak (2,423m), a massive sandstone mountain dominant on the northern horizon.
Mulu Karst Formations
Distant views of the jagged limestone peaks and karst towers belonging to the UNESCO-listed Gunung Mulu National Park.
The Baram River Meanders
Spectacular views of the 'oxbow' loops and serpentine turns of the Baram River as it slows down near Marudi.
Timber Trails
The intricate network of logging roads and trails that illustrate the human history and industry of the interior.
The right side is the prime spot for peak bagging from the air. Ask for a seat near the front of the Twin Otter for unobstructed views away from the wing. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of the flight to capture the massive river loops surrounding Marudi Airport.

Bario Valley
A final look at the high-altitude plateau and the unique wet-paddy fields of the Kelabit people.
Batu Paton
The iconic limestone monolith standing guard over the southern edge of the Bario highlands.
Tutoh River
Aerial views of the Tutoh River's headwaters as they carve through the dense, untouched jungle canopy.
Sarawak Lowlands
The dramatic transition as the landscape drops from the highlands into the lush, emerald lowland rainforests.
Choose the left side for better views of the unique highland agriculture during takeoff. Morning flights are essential as clouds typically build up over the mountains by midday, obscuring the ground. Watch for the change in vegetation density as the altitude decreases towards the coast.
