Marudi (GPS: 3.70348, 114.52426) is a small town by the northern banks of the Batang Baram in Sarawak, near the border with Brunei. Marudi is located some 100 km from Kuala Baram. It was here that the Brookes built a fort here, named Fort Hose.
Taman Tasik is one of the few recreational places in this town. From the hill top here, you can get a scenic view of the Batang Baram river.
The main road that goes through the town is Jalan Cinema. Everything is within a block or two from this main road. Jalan Merdeka is the road along the riverfront. Visitors to Marudi can continue upriver to visit the longhouses such as those in Long Lama, Long Selaban and Long Moh.

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.
