Search flights from MUR to BBN
Gunung Mulu National Park
Spectacular views of the UNESCO World Heritage site, featuring dramatic limestone massifs and jagged peaks rising from the jungle.
The Pinnacles
On clear days, the sharp, razor-like limestone shards of Mulu are visible piercing through the green canopy.
Mount Murud
Sarawak's highest mountain dominates the horizon to the north-east as the aircraft climbs toward the Kelabit Highlands.
Baram River Meanders
The complex, snake-like oxbow lakes and brown silt-laden curves of the Baram River are best viewed shortly after takeoff.
Book the earliest morning flight possible (usually the 08:00-09:00 slot) as the highlands frequently cloud over by midday. Sit in the rear seats of the Twin Otter to ensure the high-wing and engine do not block your view of the Mulu peaks.

Remote Longhouses
Spot isolated indigenous settlements along the riverbanks that are only accessible by boat or air.
Pulong Tau National Park
A sea of ancient, unbroken tropical rainforest canopy stretching toward the Indonesian border.
Tutoh River Valley
Follow the deep valleys carved by the Tutoh River as it winds through the rugged southern terrain.
Bario Paddy Fields
On the final approach, the right side offers a perfect view of the iconic highland wet-rice paddies that define the Bario landscape.
The right side is particularly scenic during the final descent into the Bario valley. Keep your camera ready as the plane drops low over the neat squares of the rice paddies and the traditional wooden structures of the Bario villages.
