Which side of the plane to sit from Miri Airport (Miri) to Mulu Airport (Mulu)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side provides a more dramatic perspective of the limestone karst formations and the sheer mass of the Gunung Mulu massif as the aircraft maneuvers through the valley for its descent.
Marudi Town
A clear view of this historic riverine outpost, known as the cultural heart of the Baram region.
Mount Mulu Massif
The primary limestone mountain range of the national park appearing as a massive wall of rock on the horizon.
Karst Topography
Jagged, white limestone outcrops and cliffs that characterize this UNESCO World Heritage site.
Valley Approach
A stunning descent into the narrow valley where the airport is located, surrounded by sheer jungle-covered cliffs.
Book a morning flight (around 9 AM to 11 AM) to avoid the afternoon thunderstorms and low-hanging mist that often obscures the peaks. The Right Side is essential for seeing the dramatic limestone features that make Mulu famous.
Miri Urban Fringe
Aerial views of the coastal city and its expansion into the surrounding foothills shortly after takeoff.
Baram River Meanders
Extremely intricate river loops that look like brown ribbons winding through the dense green tropical canopy.
Sarawak Rainforest
A vast, unbroken carpet of ancient tropical trees stretching toward the inland border with Indonesia.
Riverside Longhouses
Occasional sightings of traditional indigenous settlements located along the banks of the major river systems.
Sit in the rear of the cabin for the best downward visibility away from the high-wing structure of the ATR aircraft. This side is excellent for capturing the scale of the river systems during the first half of the flight.
