Batang Baram, Sarawak

Batang Baram is a mighty river on the northern part of Sarawak. It starts in the Kayan and Kenyah hinterland. This area of Sarawak is sparsely populated and still heavily forested, although logging has made inroads. a small number of Penans still live a seminomadic lifestyle as hunter-gatherers in the upper reaches of the river.

Surrounding the town of Marudi are logging roads that go deep into the forests. Visiting these remote places beyond Marudi require a permit from the Pejabat Residen (Tel: 433205, Jalan Kingway, Mon-Fri: 8:00 am - 12:30 pm, 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm, Sat: 8:00 am - 1:00 pm) in Miri. You will need to present your passport and fill up a form with details of your intended visit.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
