NIAH  NATIONAL  PARK

In 1958, an expedition team unearthed a human skull which was estimated about 40,000 years old inside the Niah cave. It was homo sapiens ! It was a great discovery that everyone believed Borneo was settled long long time ago !! The wall painting and large burial ground of pre-history human were found there too. Indeed, it is a significant archaeological site of our country.

This cave is really big (but still smaller than the great cave in Mulu National Park).
