How to get to Mulu Caves from Kuala Lumpur?

It takes a little more work to get to Mulu than your typical tourist destination. You will need to take a plane from Kuala Lumpur to Miri. It will take about two hours and twenty minutes. Regular commercial flights operated by Malaysia Airlines serve this portion of the journey, linking the capital of Malaysia with the entry point to Sarawak's wilds. Despite being in Malaysia, you should be aware that getting from Kuala Lumpur to Miri requires going through immigration control because of the country's special administrative structure, which allows East Malaysia (Sabah and Sarawak) to maintain some autonomy, including its own immigration laws.

The next stretch of the journey from Miri to Mulu was noticeably more adventurous; it involved a 30-minute flight on a charter aircraft powered by propellers. With scenery evocative of Jurassic Park unfolding below, the descent approaching Mulu Airport is like a dream.

Best time to visit Mulu Caves

Since there is no ideal time to visit Gunung Mulu National Park, this term is somewhat of a "trick." In contrast to the rest of Malaysia, Mulu actually experiences very constant temperatures throughout the year due to its position. 

Since Mulu is a rainforest, there is a good likelihood that rain will fall while you are there. For those who hate the rain, July through September are the driest months, but keep in mind that hotter weather makes park activities more taxing and exhausting.

Since July through September is the busiest period of year, make sure to reserve all of your lodging and activities well in advance if you plan to travel during this time. Don't forget to apply for a Malaysia e-visa via our website in advance to ensure for a smooth vacation.
