Which side of the plane to sit from Marudi Airport (Marudi) to Long Seridan Airport (Long Seridan)?

Our Recommendation
8.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a more dramatic perspective of the UNESCO-listed Gunung Mulu National Park landscapes, including its famous limestone karst formations and high peaks.

Left Side Highlights
8.8
🌊

Baram River Meanders

Spectacular views of the winding Baram River and its tributaries snaking through the tropical landscape.

đŸ”ī¸

Gunung Mulu

Vistas of the massive sandstone peaks and the rugged terrain of the Mulu massif in the distance.

🧗

Limestone Cliffs

White limestone outcrops and dramatic vertical cliffs that characterize the Sarawak interior.

đŸŒŗ

Primary Rainforest

Vast stretches of dense, undisturbed tropical canopy spanning the Baram and Tutoh basins.

Opt for the earliest possible flight (usually morning) to maximize visibility before tropical heat creates afternoon cumulus clouds. The low morning sun creates high-contrast shadows on the limestone karst, making the terrain appear more textured.

🛖

Remote Longhouses

Aerial views of traditional longhouse communities situated along the banks of the Tutoh River.

đŸ›ļ

Tutoh River Valley

Follow the course of the Tutoh River as it carves through the dense jungle towards the highlands.

đŸŒĢī¸

Jungle Mist

Early morning flights often see thick white mist clinging to the valley floors between ridges.

đŸ›Šī¸

Long Seridan Descent

A clear view of the isolated airstrip and the village of Long Seridan nestled in the valley.

Look for the color changes in the river water, which can shift from deep brown to clear green depending on recent rainfall. Use a fast shutter speed on your camera to capture the intricate details of the forest floor through the propeller wash.
