Abandoned Sungai Tiang airfield

The small airfield of about 700m long
was said to have been build in the 80ies
(once touted as the Gateway to Taman Negara!)
when river boats was the only mode of transport then
from Kuala Tembeling to Kuala Tahan,the Taman Negara National Park.
Unlike the remote Gunung Mulu National Park
where air transport is the most practical way of getting there.
Today,visitors to Taman Negara here still prefer the nostalgic 3 hours boat ride
and lately the tarred road right up to Kuala Tahan,
where you can have the luxury of driving right up
to the door steps of your hotel/guesthouse!
