KCH â MZV
Which side of the plane to sit from Kuching International Airport (Kuching) to Mulu Airport (Mulu)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides showcase Sarawak's incredible biodiversity, the Right Side offers the most dramatic views of the interior's rugged topography, culminating in the spectacular limestone massifs of the Mulu National Park upon descent.

Virgin Rainforest
Uninterrupted stretches of the world's oldest tropical rainforest canopy as you fly inland.
Meandering Rivers
The hypnotic, snake-like curves of the interior rivers carving through the dense green jungle.
Central Highlands
Distant silhouettes of the rugged mountain ranges that form the border with Indonesian Kalimantan.
Gunung Mulu Peak
The massive 2,376-meter sandstone peak that dominates the national park's horizon.
Limestone Karsts
Stunning white limestone cliffs and jagged formations that emerge through the forest during the final approach.
The Right Side is essential for the 'Mulu experience.' Try to book a flight between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM; this timing usually offers the best visibility before clouds gather around the peaks. Avoid rows 5-9 on the ATR 72 to ensure the landing gear doesn't obstruct your view of the limestone cliffs.

Continuous views of the South China Sea meeting the emerald mangroves and peat swamps.

The intricate network of channels forming the mouth of Malaysia's longest river near Sibu.

Miri Cityscape
The urban sprawl of Miri and its iconic 'Grand Old Lady' hill before the plane turns inland.
Baram River Estuary
The striking visual of brown silt-laden river water pushing miles out into the blue ocean.
The left side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh tropical sun. It is the best side for spotting offshore oil platforms near Miri and witnessing the unique 'black water' rivers of the peat swamps emptying into the sea.
