Niah National Park

Niah National Park, nestled in the Bornean state of Sarawak, gained international recognition in 1958 with the discovery of the oldest human remains in Southeast Asia. The park is home to eight main caves, each with a unique blend of cave paintings and a large, impressive entrance. Visitors can explore these ancient sites, where the walls are adorned with intricate artwork, and the air is filled with the sounds of half a million swiftlet birds. These birds are known for constructing their nests entirely from saliva, adding an intriguing natural element to the park’s rich archaeological heritage.
