MIRI, Oct 5 — Niah National Park’s Great Cave has reopened with a new access trail offering visitors fresh views of its limestone and rainforest landscapes.

Miri MP and Deputy Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture Chiew Choon Man said the reopening marked an important step towards strengthening Niah as a sustainable heritage tourism destination.

The new route was built after severe floods damaged the original walkway in 2025, requiring access between Traders’ Cave and the Great Cave to be rerouted.

Chiew said the 600-metre trail had also created an unexpected attraction for visitors.

“Having personally walked the route, I believe this has unexpectedly created another attraction in its own right.
