Introducing Mukah

Lapped by waves at the palm-fringed mouth of the Batang Mukah, this small fishing town north of Sibu doesn’t often make it onto travellers’ radar, but it’s a delightful spot to relax for a day or two amid the colourful boats and busy markets.

Most of the local people are Melanau, and the area’s major attraction is the Kaul Festival, currently held on the second Sunday in April. Pesta Kaul, as it is called locally, is a lively beach celebration that includes enchanting enactments of Melanau rituals and games to honour the spirits of the sea.
