It is one of the largest limestone caves in the world that covers 3,102 hectares (7,756 acres) of forest and limestone. The peak of Gunung Subis, which is 394 meters (1,294 ft) high, dominates the landscape.
You will have the opportunity to explore the vastness of the Great Cave, where evidence of man's existence in Borneo was discovered. Anthropologists have ascertained that Niah men lived in the caves as far back as 40000 BC right up to 1400AD. You may see on display skull of a young Homo Sapien, some primitive tools made out of stone, bone and iron, and cave drawings.
Limestone vegetation is the most common variety of plant life found in Niah National Park. At the entrance of the Traders' and West Mouth Caves, the families of Balsaminaceae and Begoniaceae are commonly found. Peat swamp and mixed dipterocarp can also be found in the Niah. Wild faunas are not easily seen, if you are lucky you may catch glimpses of some of the park's inhabitants such as squirrels, long-tailed macaques, mouse-deers, bulbuls, flying lizards, trogons, Rajah Brooke butterflies, hornbills, mouse deer, and water monitors.
