Miri
Gateway to legendary cave systems and deep-sea coral reefs.
Welcome to Miri
Miri is a vibrant coastal city in northern Sarawak, famous as the birth place of the regional oil industry. Today, it serves as the launching pad to some of the most spectacular UNESCO World Heritage cave systems on Earth, including Niah National Park and the massive chambers of Gunung Mulu.
Massive Caves & Bat Exoduses
Miri is the gateway to Gunung Mulu National Park, home to the largest cave chambers in the world and spectacular karst limestone pinnacles. Visitors gather at sunset to watch millions of bats emerge from the dark caves in spectacular, swirling clouds that sweep across the jungle sky.
The Energetic Borneo Jazz Festival
Miri is the proud host of the Borneo Jazz Festival, one of the longest-running jazz gatherings in the region. Held along the breezy coastline, this vibrant event brings together legendary international jazz musicians and local Bornean artists for experimental fusion concerts. The festival also features eco-craft bazaars and workshops highlighting sustainable event practices in Sarawak.
