Meandering on in Marudi

Boats of all shapes and sizes docked by the banks of Sungai Baram.

Like many small towns in Sarawak’s interior, Marudi is laid back — unless you happen to drop by during the town’s peak business hours when there is a bit of hustle and bustle in the marketplace.

Located by Sungai Baram near Miri in Sarawak’s Fourth Division, Marudi used to be a stop-over for pioneer tourists heading to the Mulu National Park by boat.
