Remote gateway serving Sarawak's interior Baram district.

Location
Marudi, Malaysia
Marudi Airport (IATA: MUR, ICAO: WBGM) is a small regional airport located in Marudi, a town in the Baram district of Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo. It serves as an essential air link for communities in the interior of Sarawak, where road infrastructure is limited and river travel can be slow. The airport primarily handles turboprop and small aircraft operations, connecting Marudi to Miri and other regional destinations. It plays a vital role in supporting the movement of people, goods, and occasionally medical evacuations in this remote part of Borneo. Given its location in a densely forested and hilly region, the airport is a critical lifeline for the local Penan, Kenyah, and other indigenous communities who rely on air transport for access to services and markets.
Terminals
The airport has a single small terminal building suited to low-volume regional traffic.
Getting to & from
Ground transport from the airport to Marudi town centre is limited, with taxis and private vehicles being the primary options.
Airlines here
MASwings, a subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines, operates scheduled services connecting Marudi to Miri and other Sarawak destinations.

City & Place Guide

Gateway to Sarawak's wild interior and Baram River culture.

Marudi is a small riverside town in Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo, perched along the Baram River about 100 kilometers inland from Miri. It serves as an important administrative and trading hub for the surrounding Orang Ulu communities, including the Kenyah, Kayan, and Penan peoples, making it a genuine window into upriver Bornean life.

The town retains a frontier character with a busy waterfront, colonial-era buildings, and a lively weekend market. Travelers passing through often use Marudi as a staging point for deeper journeys into the interior, including trips toward Gunung Mulu National Park and traditional longhouse communities along the Baram and its tributaries.

  • •Fort Hose — a well-preserved 1901 colonial fort with panoramic river views.
  • •Marudi Waterfront — a lively esplanade ideal for watching river traffic and sunsets.
  • •Tamu Marudi — a colorful weekly market where indigenous traders sell jungle produce.
  • •Baram River — take a boat ride to observe traditional longhouse villages along the banks.
  • •Local Longhouses — guided visits to Kenyah or Kayan longhouses for cultural immersion.
  • •St. Joseph's Cathedral — a modest but historically significant Catholic church in the town center.

Getting around: Marudi has no rail service; the primary arrival method is a short flight from Miri on MASwings or a combination of speedboat and road travel. Within town everything is easily walkable, and motorcycle taxis (known locally as ojeks) are available for short hires. Chartered longboats are the main way to reach outlying villages and attractions along the Baram River.

Best time: Visit between March and October during the drier months to enjoy calmer river conditions and easier access to the interior.

Local food: Try umai (a raw fish salad with lime and shallots), sago pearls, wild boar dishes, and freshwater fish preparations commonly found at local coffee shops and the tamu market.
