Bukit Tiban National Park, Sarawak

Bukit Tiban National Park (GPS: 3.45808, 113.4979) is a national park in the Miri Division of Sarawak. It covers a 80 square kilometer area at the headwaters of Sungai Nyalau and Sungai Timong in the Miri Division, and Sungai Sigrok in the Bintulu Division. Bukit Tiban, which was made a national park in 2000, acts as a water catchment area for the surrounding region, which comprises plantations as well as residential and industrial areas. It is bordered to the south by the Pan-Borneo Highway at Km-50.

Bukit Tiban is an example of how an ex-logging area has been successfully reforested. Silvicultural treatment was carried out by the Sarawak Forestry Department to bring the area back to the state of a natural forest. Through the reforestation efforts, the wildlife population at Bukit Tiban has increased significantly. As an island of refuge surrounded by palm oil plantations, Bukit Tiban provides a sanctuary for the wildlife that roam into the plantation areas at night to search for food.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
