Bagging It!
Despite the name meaning ‘small Murud’, Murud Kecil is not especially close to the much taller Gunung Murud. It has been climbed at least on a handful of occasions by scientific researchers. The usual access point is the small settlement of Long Lellang, which has a very small airport with MAS Wings flights.
Practicalities
-
- Getting there: For Malaysian domestic flights and flights within Southeast Asia, for example to Kota Kinabalu or Kuching, we recommend Baolau. Fly to Long Lellang.

The area at the base of Murud Kecil is known as Ulu Baram. Not surprisingly it takes a fair amount of time and determination to get there. Wilson Chin of Kuching made a trip and he has some great photos of Batu Siman, a striking little mountain of three steep cliff peaks, not unlike Gunung Daik, on Pulau Lingga in Indonesia’s Riau Islands not far from Singapore.
